Defeats: God's full decision
8:48 PM, PBA--Friday night and waiting for the final score hoping my desired team would win for a lead standing of 3-2 in the best-of-seven semifinal series. Watching everything happens and having time divided for school works and just stared at the T.V. And even if thinking about the coming exam and tons of projects to be passed, nothing steals way my attention.
I turned away from watching since I'm just some kind of losing hope. Do you know how it feels seeing your favorite players bathing in sweat? How about seeing them physically hurt? It's been four years since I've started watching PBA and I favorited only one team--San Miguel Beermen. (I even made a scrapbook for it years ago!)
I've watched them win and lose, skipped in and hammered, grinning and sighing, and most of all, smirking and looking up to God. In every single move, I know inside them that there us only one that makes things happen, God. See how they work? They work with faith--kissing their fore finger, making the sign of the cross and tapping their chest. In these kinds of games, have you ever thought that they can remember God?
I have learned that maybe God has really his own plans. I mean, see how the ball goes-in and out. Almost in but went out. It's like every move of the player towards the ball to the ring matters. Each muscle that moved from the player and the tap to the ball counts for every result. I have proved that even the little-most inch in the air means a lot to whatever happens.
I have never gave up, I may have surrendered. I know they have fallen too many times, but the power and strength or whatever that keeps them going makes me going. I just realized twice, God's plan is inevitable.
And for me, winning is just a symbol of greatness. But the real greatness is shown by God, you just have to deliver it by dedicating each minute of the game to Him. For I know somehow, a game matters when you lost so many time but then sweat yourself up even if there's no more chance at all. So, keep fighting, my friend! THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE IN HIM!
