Monsters Inside?

Holidays, for me, ended yesterday. Today's Saturday already. I treat it as every other non-busy Saturday. The usuals, come online from morning til noon, bathe, have lunch, go for youth, come back and to bed. Isn't it awesome? Today in youth was the launch of the topic of the month, entitled, "Monsters Inside". Mabel did the teaching today.
Quote Mabel, "As usual, in Calvary Youth style, we always start with a game." Very true. So today we went around in our CGs and LGs looking for pictures of "monsters". It was quite fun yet flawed in the sense that if someone found a picture, everyone would converge to the site and grab it. But eventually, all but 1 picture was found. The top teams that got 8 out of 9 pics got a set of spiritual monsters, as you will find out later, to match with the physical appearance of the monsters. In the end, Jan Wong's team won.

Anyways, the "Monsters Inside" actually refer to the sins in our lives. Naming a few, Pride, Selfishness, Anger and Bitterness. We are such close friends to them, aren't we? Mabel went on the explain the characteristics, the occupation and added a little info on them. And in conclusion, ended with we should shine for Jesus and let Him take the throne of our lives instead of these monsters. Think about it.

A very job well done to Mabel for her hard work. Obtaining the pictures, quite nice actually, and surprisingly from Google. I think God spoke pretty clearly to all of us. A little something I'd like to add, is that monsters do not like the light, so when we shine for Jesus, the monsters will go away. I find this very true. I hope you'll find it true too.

Moving on, the clash of the titans was on. I rushed back just in time to watch the kick off. Peacefully fighting for control of the channel with my dad. Football vs. F1. Got best of both worlds. MU started off really strong with the new Dimitar Berbatov. I was looking forward to this for so long and it finally came. Muahaha. Berbatov did a nice pass, under pressure from 2 defenders and just next to the line right to Tevez, who rushed in and placed a spectacular goal under 4 minutes. Unfortunately, Liverpool came back with an own goal because of a stupid Van der Sar flop and a strong Liverpool side during 2nd half with Ryan Babel scoring the goal. For me, Liverpool did well during the 2nd half but they got lucky because of the own goal. What a waste, MU was doing so well with the 8 games over Liverpool. What can I say, nothing is perfect and humans make mistakes.

It's back to college in 2 days. Boon or bane? We shall see. God Bless!
