Broken toe nail

Some people need alcohol to write; Some need to travel abroad to write; Some need holidays; Some need hours and hours of people observation... For me, I need trauma... I need a sufficient dose of misfortune before I turn to this blog for solace... Somehow, I really enjoy blogging.. Maybe I am just one of those self-obsessed people who enjoy talking to myself..

Well, perhaps.. But I guess the real reason is because only I know know best what I like... I like positive encouragement.. and when I am in some kind of troubl.. I want someone to tell me that everything is going to be ok... Don't be worried.. The problem is that most people are so negative.. and the positive ones are sheldom interested in me.. Thus... This blog was born...



------------------------------------------------------------------------

There was a period of time that I was tempted to destroy this blog.... Or perhaps shift it to another address... But there was this nagging voice in me asking me to not do it... What if.. I mean (even if there is a slightest chance) that people are reading my blog... and my blog is actually leaving positive impacts on people around me... I have this one and only outlet to voice my opinion and impact others... Am I going to give it up because of ONE mean reader? So what if there is one person who's rude and mean? Does that mean I have to sacrifise all my other readers?

Same logic. Do you give up on life just because of one bad experience? Or perhaps give up on love because of one bad relationship? That's folly. It's the coward's way of doing things... Instead, persevere on.. It will definitely be hard listening to bad comments.. Especially for a person like me (contrary to popular belief... I actually have a really low self-esteem)... but bad comments will always come in... even if you are the most 'perfect' person on earth... You've just got to learn to deal with it.. Even Jesus (the one perfect man) was critisized... So you think you can do better than Jesus?

Most recent area of distress? I broke my big toe nail. Yes. I snapped it into two when I kicked a jumping back trust on the standing sand bag at the club... jabbed my toe into the base of that standing sand bag... There was some blood... but it was not very painful.. Nonetheless.. I am quite disturbed.. since my tournament is this coming weekend...

It is in times like this when you really got to hold on to the faith.. and believe that even that broken toe nail has a reason for existance. Maybe God doesn't want me to kick turning kick with that leg? Perhaps he want me to only back trust with that leg? Whatever it is, I must remember that God can only use crack pots... He will shine through the crack... Perhaps, it is only in my weakness that God can be glorified... Perhaps, this injury is to show the world that when I win my Gold trophy back... it is all to the glory of God..

God, please save me... I can't do this on my own!!!

Luckily I still have...

God's grace God's grace... *the only thing I will never lose.. the only thing that matters
