wanted 2 share this today after service de but din go 4 service. so decided 2 write it here. mon my badminton team went 4 our first match 4 e inter sch competition. since sec 1 i was trained 2 play singles n rarely played doubles. but my teacher wanted 2 strong doubles, so i was transfered 2 doubles. he gave me 2 choices 4 my partner. intinially i was suppose 2 partner A but she did not come 4 most trainings during sch holidays, whereas partner B came 4 almost all e trainings n is veri passionate bout badm. i decided 2 partner B as i felt dat she deserved 2 play. but after e training b4 our match, i felt sth weird inside of me. juz den, e team capt. called me n told me dat A wanted 2 back out of e team. A is a gd player wif powerful strokes n is quite an important player 2 e team. it's juz dat she cant serve well n as we did not train much, dere was communication problem between us. 2 retain A in e team, i decided 2 partner her 4 mon's match aginst dunman high(1 of e top sch's) our percentage of winning against this sch was close 2 zero!! my confidence 4 this match was -1!! coz i dun really play doubles n my experience wif either 1 of my partners is oso veri low.

e day b4 e match pastor preached bout confession. it was not a veri impacting kinda msg but during dat service, i was touched by e Holy Spirit n dat feeling juz stayed wif me throughout. dat night i prayed 2 God asking Him 2 strengthen e team if each player would say " im strong!" 3 times b4 her match. e next morning, my sch had hymn singing. so i prayed again. i asked God 4 a confirmation in today's hymn. n behold! e first line of e hymn was.." u are my strength when i am weak" i was overjoyed!!

during e match, i gathered e team n told dem all bout dat prayer n dat morning's confirmation from God. i duno if they said it, but during my match, i kept confessing, "im strong!" n kept telling my partner" u r strong!" for e 1st set, i was practically fooling in e court. coz xiangcen told me since chances not high might as well enjoy e game. so first set we lost 15- 6.

second set, in e beginning i was having fun too.. but towards e end, surprisingly, we managed 2 pull e score veri close. so i decided 2 be a little more serious. n we won e 2nd set!!! 15-12!!! so it all goes down 2 e last set...

actually i was satisfied le. coz none of my sch players won even 1 set. so in e beginning i din hold high hopes as i was afraid i might lose n would be veri discouraged. we were lagging quite behind, e score was sth like 9-4. but we managed 2 catch up till we lead by 1 point! 11-10!!! i kept saying," im strong!!" " u r strong!!" " we will win!!" from behind me i could hear e schs saying.." she's crazy" or " siao!" all of a sudden i remembered wad e bible said..when u carry out acts of faith, ppl will mock at u. den i tot 2 myself, it's like everything's going in place. first i get a visit from e Holy Spirit, den a confirmation from God, i carry it out, n i get mocked. following dat would be.. i would be victorious if i would hold on 2 His word!! so i believed n kept on confessing!!! e score was.. 14-13.. opponent leading.. they nid 1 point 2 win.. it was my service. if i lost dat serve, opponent would have 2 services n most probably win. i served.. they hit a high shuttle back 2 my partner.. my partner missed e shuttle!.. it hit e tip of her racket..e shuttle landed on e net!!!..for 2 seconds... all eyes were on dat shuttle..seeing which side it would drop 2..it tilted 2 my court..n it dropped!!! TO THE OPPONENT'S SIDE!!!!! i shouted," hallelujah!!!"

now e score was 14-14!! duce! after dat shuttle, we lost our serve n our opponent gained 1 point. so it was 15-14.. we had a few service over n eventually we won!! wif a score of 6-15 15-12 17-16!!!! e whole team rejoiced n it was a great accomplishment 4 me as i had been losing 4 e past 2 yrs. and this time wif God, i won a seeded sch!!!

our God is truely a God dat can turn every situation around!!! he can turn a 0% to a 100%!!!
PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!
