More and more, i'm beginning to find that it's getting so difficult to find people to do things with. As it was, when i first started attending the church that i'm presently attending, i found that none of the girls, apparently, were interested in engaging in the activities which i wanted to do! None wanted to play basketball and few liked inline-skating. In general, it seemed nobody (the girls) did any sports. Even now, it's a real difficulty dragging people down to jog with me. Few want to swim or play games. These days i'm having problem getting people to go for a diving course with me. Most who are willing are guys and even then, these ppl say they need mental preparation. Sigh.
Think so it's time to prepare myself for times i shall have to do everything on my own. Can no longer rely on the company of others. I think so too that as age catches up on me, people around are going to be finding their partners, and with that would come activities which i can no longer engage in together with them. It's time to prepare myself for the inevitable...
love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
A bouncing ball. When I'm up I'm up, when I'm down I'm down. It doesn't take me long to bounce right up again
Prayer for myself...
If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
Prayer Requests...
Career direction: Need godly wisdom in making important decisions and for God to open the way to ST if He so wills.
Spiritual Walk: Discipline in being consistent. Need a revival.

Creating a Web Page with HTML Just bought this from Popular not too long ago. Essential for a computer dodo like me. Pretty user-friendly lay-out and the colours in there help =)

Dear, you're not being fair. There are many people doing the weekend sports-related activites you enjoy with you now. I on the other hand have people pulling out of the walks I organise AFTER the time scheduled to meet. As for diving, not sure about others but personally I'm not wanting to do it this month for the same reason that you're not wanting to do it the next. Finally, there's no shame in doing things alone. As you're beginning to find out, not one is as reliable as God. And if you're gonna let it get to you every time, life's gonna be pretty miserable. So cheer up k?
Yeah, you have to be fair. While there exist people who rejects your invitations, there also exist people whose invitations were rejected by you. Acceptance and rejection. A big part of life.
It's also a coming-of-age thing. Yours truly had registered this a long time ago. The solution? Build a close relationship with God. He never fails; Man often does.
