impossible?

it seems ridiculous to even suggest that my first year of nus law is finally over. technically it isn't, because results aren't exactly out yet. but in essence, it really is. and that does seem pretty impossible to me. time has flown much faster than it ever has before, faster than jc days, faster than ns days. but nevertheless, it has been one heck of an exciting journey, full of ups and downs, and i'm glad to say i've made it this far.

i've certainly learnt a lot this year, but i think lately what has struck me the most is that nothing is ever impossible. fulham staying in the premier league looked downright impossible, but yet here we still are. it has been such a thrilling ride, and i daresay even more so than any of those title contenders. one month ago, i was pretty sure we were going down. don't get me wrong, that doesn't mean i'd given up on my team; but for all practical purposes, we were going down. second from bottom, with 5 games to go, 3 of them away games, and we hadn't won an away game since 2006. playing (and predictably losing to) liverpool effectively meant 4 games to fight for survival. but against all odds we won all 4 games (3 away at reading, manchester city and portsmouth, and at home against birmingham) and now we're staying up! and i'm proud to say i never quit on my team, just like my team never quit on me, or any other supporter.

seems like nothing is impossible eh, i can go off to england (which i am in june) and get myself some fulham premier league merchandise hehe. i'm glad we're still up, by the grace of god. from the blackburn draw in march i've been praying everyday that we'd stay up, and let me assure you, that's the only way we actually did. pretty amazing stuff, and if not for that i'm pretty sure we'd never have survived the drop.

reminds me of a simpsons episode where homer got everything he prayed for. after all, all you need is faith the size of a mustard seed. i know i've got that, it just makes me wonder what else could come to fruition if i just prayed about it everyday. because, really, nothing is impossible when you've got God on your side.

just all in His timing =)
