2.4.2011.
What I got from yesterday's match:
- Two grazed and bruised knees.
- Lessons. Many lessons.
- Humility.
- Butt ache.
- An enjoyable time with my SWAT teammates. :)
So yes, we lost to Trailblazers 2-3. It was definitely a tough and tight match. Yes, I am obviously disappointed since we tried so hard but yet didn't manage to beat the opposition.
But honestly, I feel that we gave our best. We really went all out and pushed ourselves to the limit. It was a great game and a great experience.
I'm sure there was a reason we lost too. I think God is still instilling the 'humility' value in my life. Other than that, I think He's teaching me to learn to accept defeat and not be a sore loser. I know that I've given my best and that I am a winner even though we didn't win the match. I gave my all; I ran till my lungs burned, I cheered my teammates on till the last second, and I didn't give up.
God is probably teaching me patience and teaching me how to depend on Him no matter what the outcome, win or lose. I'm sure, if we keep practising, He will give us victory, if not by winning the other matches, then definitely by some other way. But I'm very sure He has His plans installed for us.
I remember praying to God not only for victory, but also to most importantly keep all the players safe. And guess what? God answers prayers. He may not have allowed us to win the match, But He definitely kept everyone safe from harm.
I definitely was more able to accept the defeat this time. And I know it's cause I surrendered everything to Him. And His peace which transcends all understanding is in my heart. So I don't need to feel angry or worried that we lost. (: All in His timing.
Thank You God, for being the awesome and sovereign LORD that You are.
Even though we lost, it's much better to know that we played fair and gave our all, rather than winning a game the wrong way. It's alright, girls. We did great. Looking forward to the next match, we'll be back. STRONGER this time.
GO SWAT!
GOD is in control, 4:04 PM.
