This is an excellent conversation between 'God' and an unknown ' - 'Me'. I don't know as to who has been the composer of such an interesting and captivating conversation ; but has he/she has definitely put in good amount of thought into crafting the same. *Those who don't believe in God, may also find it worth reading once. Enjoy and Think ! *
God: Hello. Did you call me?
Me: Called you? No.. Who is this?
God: This is GOD. I heard your prayers. So I thought I will chat.
Me: I do pray. Just makes me feel good. I am actually busy now. I am inthe midst of something.
God: What are you busy at? Ants are busy too.
Me: Don't know. But I can't find free time. Life has become hectic. It's rush hour all the time.
God: Sure. Activity gets you busy. But productivity gets you results.Activity consumes time. Productivity frees it.
Me: I understand. But I still can't figure out. By the way, I was notexpecting YOU to buzz me on instant messaging chat.
God: Well I wanted to resolve your fight for time, by giving you some. In this net era, I wanted to reach you through the medium you are comfortable with.
Me: Tell me, why has life become complicated now?
God: Stop analyzing life. Just live it. Analysis is what makes it complicated.
Me: why are we then constantly unhappy?
God: Your today is the tomorrow that you worried about yesterday. You are worrying because you are analyzing. Worrying has become your habit.That's why you are not happy.
Me: But how can we not worry when there is so much uncertainty?
God: Uncertainty is inevitable, but worrying is optional.
Me: But then, there is so much pain due to uncertainty.
God: Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional.
Me: If suffering is optional, why do good people always suffer?
God: Diamond cannot be polished without friction. Gold cannot be purified without fire. Good people go through trials, but don't suffer. With thatexperience their life become better not bitter.
Me: You mean to say such experience is useful?
God: Yes. In every term, Experience is a hard teacher. She gives the test first and the lessons afterwards.
Me: But still, why should we go through such tests? Why can't we be free from problems?
God: Problems are Purposeful Roadblocks Offering Beneficial Lessons (to) Enhance Mental Strength. Inner strength comes from struggle andendurance, not when you are free from problems.
Me: Frankly in the midst of so many problems, we don't know where we are heading..
God: If you look outside you will not know where you are heading. Look inside. Looking outside, you dream. Looking inside, you awaken. Eyesprovide sight. Heart provides insight.
Me: Sometimes not succeeding fast seems to hurt more than moving in the right direction. What should I do?
God: Success is a measure as decided by others. Satisfaction is a measure as decided by you. Knowing the road ahead is more satisfying than knowing you road ahead. You work with the compass. Let others work with the clock.
Me: In tough times, how do you stay motivated?
God: Always look at how far you have come rather than how far you have to go. Always count your blessing, not what you are missing.
Me: What surprises you about people?
God: When they suffer they ask, 'why me?' When they prosper, they never ask 'Why me'. Everyone wishes to have truth on their side, but few want to be on the side of the truth.
Me: Sometimes I ask, who am I, why am I here. I can't get the answer.
God: Seek not to find who you are, but to determine who you want to be. Stop looking for a purpose as to why you are here. Create it. Life is notmerely a process of discovery but a process of co-creation. You are my co-creator.
Me: How can I get the best out of life?
God: Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear.
Me: One last question. Sometimes I feel my prayers are not answered.
God: There are no unanswered prayers. At times the answer is NO.
Me: Thank you for this wonderful chat.
God: Well. Keep the faith and drop the fear. Don't believe your doubts and doubt your beliefs. Life is a mystery to solve not a problem to resolve.Trust me. Life is wonderful if you know how to live. 'Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that took our breath away!

NBA draft prospects
I only saw these guys on videos but based on team needs ( maybe first three Chicago Bulls, Miami Heat, Minnesota Timberwolves, and Seattle? Oklahoma City Sonics) and what I hear and see.....
Mike Beasley- a top pick. No doubt about his rebounding and offensive skills. He can only go either to the Bulls or Heat.
With the Bulls, opponents already had problems with Ben Gordon and Kirk Hinrich running and scoring at will and with Luol Deng on the wing. Imagine an inside presence like Beasley, not to mention those wicked perimeter jumpers which he'll be throwing up all night. The Bulls in a team play might need to actually adjust on this one. Beasley can actually go at it on his own and might take a few bad shots early but if he's like thrid or second option, he might develop a nice pass and solidify himself as a power forward in the NBA not just scoring I mean.
With the Heat, He'll look a little better, I can imagine Pat Riley pulling some nice deals for Shawn Marion and Mark Blount. Though he and Dwayne Wade could turn into a nice 1-2 punch in Shaquille O'Neal's departure, he'll be paired up with Udonis "Undersized, Underrated" Haslem, who's 6-8 as a center. Riley will need to pull some nice size out of the Market if they get Beasley. With Marion at 3, it might not be bad. Marion can wreck all the havoc he wants on defense and the offensive glass while Wade and Mike "Beast" Beasley (yes, I gave him a nickname) can just keep shooting and slashing and posting. They'll need a point guard to get that ball around right and not throw it at one of those two all the time. Wade can go into his combo guard thing and Beasley can be his usual 3-4 guy self while Marion just rebounds and blocks shots and in the long run, guard really big guards and forwards (eg. Lebron James, Paul Pierce, Kobe Bryant, Chris Paul, Tony Parker). Nobody really realises that Marion's length and jump can stop or slow down those guys and, with a good PG and a hard-working center, I say, Beasley can help the Heat get back on track in the East.
Derrick Rose- Top two picks, I don't think he can reach the first yet. Rose is incredible with his drives and jumpshots. I hear he doesn't have the right shot yet like Lebron but he can be deadly with it in the long term. Long term is the key here. I may be underestimating him but Rose needs time but he can help two teams out.
With the Bulls, he'll probably be regulated to the bench and start during mid-season after he gets used to the 82-game run. He'll provide a lot of offense and regulating and could either get Bulls GM to trade a guard or two. He'll probably become a combo guard and a 1-2 punch with Ben Gordon or Luol Deng. Rose will probably get the Bulls somewhere but not the play-offs, yet.
With the Heat, Riley can finally get rid of Jason Williams. With all due respect to Williams, Rose will be a perfect fit with Wade. Rose can develop into a pure point guard and a good jumpshot and play making skills from just playing pick-up with Wade. He's athelism also compliments well with Marion and both might become key defenders against really tough guys.
OJ Mayo- first round material not top.
With the Sonics, if things work out for the best. Mayo can help himself and Kevin Durant get better. Both are young and need to get into a passing game as well as a good flow of team work. They may easily get trigger happy but if all else fails there's the possibility of Mayo being a sixth-man instead and having each wreck all the havoc they want on their own. Though, I'd let Durant become a 3-guy rather than a big guard at 2.
With the Wolves, he'll force some trades. Rashard MacCants, Marko Jaric, and even Randy Foye might be looking for a trade if Mayo comes in. He won't turn the wolves into a contender but in the long run they might look better that the Portland trail Blazers. Al Jefferson and Mayo, inside and out will be the new key on the Wolves offense and Mchale can make up his Garnett trade for a stronger center to pair up to Jefferson. The Wolves will be looking for a player who can make an impact so Mayo can be a good candidate.
I haven't seen the rest but this blog has to go somewhere

Faster than you think
Boom! It just hits. Life just hits you so hard you forget what your supposed to do, your supposed to make some new proposal in church and you forget about it after sleeping the whole day and going into a weeks worth of training and school and busting yourself up. I only remembered it on the Sunday when I promised it to be done. Well, I guess I'm just that. I get lost sometimes. Everybody does. I don't know how but it's part of us. We forget because.........
We don't know. We can make up a dozen excuses about it being wrong or just plain dumb or watching too much TV. Bottom line, people forget and we'll just move on. I can remember three things a week and the rest in my phone calendar; we can remember a few things but the rest is stuck up somewhere else. We don't forget. We just get lost.
Life's just too fast sometimes and we end up pushing the gas instead of the breaks to find out where we are. We get lost, forget our names, numbers and people we know but every once in a while, I sit down and think about the people who need help around me as I take time to pray. Nothing much is easy with I and E coming my way. You see, each day we do this and that we go in circles sometimes but we don't care. We just wanna get some where and run like nobody's business.
We wanna get good real fast in sports that we lose the balance of technique and fitness.
We wanna get good grades or fast things done in school, we get too used to runing with out shoes and forget our friends. We lose the balance between school and friends.
We wanna make some money. We forget the balance of service and selling.
We wanna eat fast. We didn't realise it till we ate 6 fast foods a week and forgot the home food our family eats together.
Maybe we go faster than we think. Maybe we just lost it or just never took the time to thing.
Point is we need to slow down man and get it together before things become messed up
Peace

just words
I was playing basketball with my buddy matthew today. We were playing one on one when this little girl started watching us. I didn't think much at first and tried to pound matthew a bit more (He won anyway, who knew his shots would go in?). I later tossed the ball to her during our break. She picked it up and just tried to throw it back at me as far as she could. A thing about these kids, they're really talkative. First she talks about us (me and matt) playing basketball then she asks me to guess her age. This 6-year old kid just played around tossing and passing and stuff even dribbling. Then she just talked a lot, she talked about her dad and siblings(a brother and two sisters). Later, she tells me about her mom. Kinda hard to take it in at first. At first I wasn't sure about what I heard, but it just hit. Her mom died of cancer. Hard to believe a little girl like this could take it so well. No kidding she was brighter than those kids I took care of in church. How many kids could do a full line of monkey bars and climb 9 foot poles in the fitness corner? I was like wow this kid has big future in sports. She went home after some time with her grandfather. I played one more game with matthew before we ate out and tv and playing station games later.
The time my grandfather passed away, I could still remember it. It was hard to take. My dad called and it just came out then it was a really slow time from there. It was hard for my dad and my uncles. To make it short, it was like time slowed down every minute and it was never easy during the mourning, and never easier in the burial. My dad and I still go down there with fresh flowers and all to visit the grave.
My grandparents were really unselfish. They didn't desire too much expensive stuff and didn't like it much either although they appreciated it a lot when we sent gifts from Singapore. It was a sad time for me. I enjoyed playing with my grandfather during those times even when he suffered a stroke he still played around with us. He probably could hear us playing in the basketball courts just outside his room and everytime we came in, I alwats felt that it lifted his spirits till we were just bugging him. I didn't remember a lot about my grandfather but what his life really spoke more about what he wanted to do in life. He raised kids who became smart and disciplined ,and me and my cousins were kinda following in his footsteps. Family always came first for him and pretty much just took care of us with my grandmother later on. Now my grandmother is still here, we're still taking care of her and in a way she's taking care of us. The caring never really stops. Whether it's grandparents or children, caring is a 24-7 job that we do. It just goes on.
I love it. I love the game and the intensity it gives. All I have is words. I just say that yes I love this game. I love this sport and I want my actions to speak louder than words.
Just words.
just happens.
Just move on.

Who Am I?
Who Am I?
I was created by God and saved by His sacrifice on the cross. I was called to Singapore to take care of my family and make the most out of my education there. I was to be a mess and a wreck and yet God changed my life. It was His Grace not because I was good or any good deed I did but by His Grace.
I'm still a mess. I made a bad choice with a friendship. I still have a hard time trying to focus on studying. I'm inconsistent in being fit or even prepared for tests. I can forget friends i don't talk to for a long time. Yet, God has been good. By His Grace, Here I am. He makes me work. He reminds me who's important. He reminds me who's in charge and He reminds me who's in need. WHo Am I?God knows me and that's who I am, His.

Everyday is a battle
I was always told I couldn't fo it on my own. I was told that I would always be reliant on someone. Yet, I always had the desire to do it all on my own.
Yeah, I know. You need people. People need people. I won't argue with that. My style is just different. I'm never in the mood to ask for help but always in the mood to help out. It's kinda hard for me to ask for help on stuff that I know I can do on my own. Like math, I know I can do math right and make it look good and all but when I'm stuck I let it go and wait for the teacher to show so I can understand and remember it. I guess I do need help sometimes. It's part of being independent. It's part of who we are and what we do and when we ask help.
I admit, I made it though some times with help but when it's my burden and my problem, I'd like to keep it and deal with it alone. Oh I talk to God but when He talks back it's usually through the book I read. Sometimes it was from my friends, sometimes just other ways. It was hard. It was tough but I was growing up.
I'm trying to be independent now. Learning to solve my own problems, my own work, my own course. Sometimes i feel stuff is just between me and God. Sometimes I just share it with him and don't share it with nobody except people I know who can give me a tip bout it. It's the hard way but the road is blessed. My road ain;t perfect but it's been blessed.
I thank a lot of people for helping me out to learn. Your making me independent and my sucess is your sucess, But our sucess is God's and His alone. I was just his vessel his using. I know he loves me. I know he doesn't give up on me. Maturity, Independecy, and Workmanship. Things we need to learn as we Grow. Where you going now?
