haha. ok. i think i'm the slowest person to update my blog on that. sorry that i don't have any pics whatsoever. i don't intend to choke up my blog and make it load even slower. nonetheless, this rugby match was my first and most exciting game i've been to. no doubt half the time i had no idea what was going on. still the atmosphere was amazing!
the cheering, the crossing of fingers, the jumping, everything was just worth it. i really admire the players. seeing how they injure themselves and end up rolling on the grass in pain and next thing you know they're back on the field on their two feet in the game once again. they earned my respect =) you know...i never felt so much pride in a school.
Seeing how SA always pray before a match is very encouraging to me. be it the Student Counsellors, to the players, to the teachers, to the students. it never fails to boost my confidence and all. oh man. it was wonderful.
it was quite scary seeing how our score was 3-10, with RJC leading. it seemed hopeless to win, especially since our players were like half their size. yet, we prayed. perhaps it was me and my imagination that barney the purple dinosaur had trained me so well in, but while i was praying i saw myself in front of God's throne. and i could actually talk to Him and present my requests to Him. i asked Him to motivate the players, to encourage them, to give them strength and wisdom to play, to strategise. yet, i remembered that God's will, not mine should be done, and i simly committed the game to Him, asking God to help us to accept it if we lose. throughout all those while, God didn't speak. He merely looked at me with the nicest eyes i've ever seen, the brownest, most loving, caring, compassionate eyes. and smiled. when i asked whether or not we would win. He merely smiled.
i didn't know if God was smiling because He knew we were going to win, or whether because He was happy with me. Either way, it brought me hope. and guess what??? we did win the end. everyone knows and recognises it as a miracle cos it is almost impossible for us to make a comeback with such limited time left.
the same thing happened at the soccer match the next day, only God's response was different. When i asked Him to help, He looked at me with eyes that gave a hint of sadness, simply because it wasn't in His will to let us win. This time, He gave me a straight No that they wouldn't win. even if the score was only 1-0 at that point of time, with VJ leading. to cut the long story short, they did lose in the end.
it was really disappointing though. but nvm. Thank God for preparing me for it anyway =)
