'When I was young I dreamed of playing for Sao Paulo and playing just one game for the national team. That was it...but the Bible says God gives us more than we ask for and that is what has happened in my life.' - Kaka-
Kaka, a devoted Christian, was a heavy favourite to win Monday's prize after landing France Football magazine's prestigious Ballon d'Or and World Soccer magazine's World Player of the Year accolade.
Step one you say we need to talk He walks you say sit down it's just a talk He smiles politely back at you You stare politely right on through Some sort of window to your right As he goes left and you stay right Between the lines of fear and blame And you begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life
Let him know that you know best Cause after all you do know best Try to slip past his defense Without granting innocence Lay down a list of what is wrong The things you've told him all along And pray to God he hears you (x2)
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life
As he begins to raise his voice You lower yours and grant him one last choice Drive until you lose the road Or break with the ones you've followed He will do one of two things He will admit to everything Or he'll say he's just not the same And you'll begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life
Hence the title of this post, Yup!!...say it loud and say it proud...FREEDOM....sing it out! Song of Freedom..or In Your Freedom!...all Hillsong's songs..nice songs really.
It's good to get another semester under my belt, one thing i realized between this semester and the previous one was that, though there was still the usual rush rush for time to submit assignments, It wasn't as bad this time around compared to the last sem..So for my group and I, we've learnt a fair bit...and I think it can only get better as it goes on from here.
Some ended the semester yesterday, some today...I had to end mine at 7 plus cause of extra classes. Not really enjoyable come to think about it, but guess it has it's advantages at times.
Well, back to the title. Yes..so this semester is the battle. However, there's a big war awaiting when i touchdown back from Down-under..it's called Final Exam...Just makes me go RED at the sound of it...but challanges are meant to be conquered...so January 08...I'll meet you soon...
I'm back again...with this week being the final week of the semester before our study break prior to our finals in January, it is not suprising that there are busy times ahead. For us, we basically have to submit 3 assignments, 2 of those on the 12th and another on the 13th.
This being the final week, is where everybody gives their very last push to cross the final hurdle and we can see the finishing line just around the corner. Basically what happened to me, is i'm now sitting down and watching people run towards that line, that's the feeling you get when you fall sick and feeling pretty much hapless at doing anything. Through this time, when you can't do much you tend to think alot....about lots of things...like everything that you've done through the year...(especially that, as it is come end of the year...there's alot of reviewing to do.)
I've always thought to myself that i'm like Ironman, but come to think about it...at times, I'm not much of it at all. In fact, feeling very fragile now is more likely to describe my current situtation. When your strength is not enough, You call on God to pull you through it but everytime that help comes in, you feel that you're at a breaking point everytime. It sucks to just fall short of your expectation....it doesn't help when you're feeling all over the place...
