YOUR WILL be done!

There it is... another one on the table with the rest. Of course, it is an epic battle to a medal position... From Day 1 to Day 5, it was 7, 8, 8, 6, and 5. Lots of hard work by both sailor and coach!

Personally, it was significant for me...not just about getting a trophy... it was about letting go! Since Chloe started sailing in Primary 3, I have been pretty involved and sometimes, I thought I was just too involved... :-) Perhaps I was because I never got a chance to sail when I was at the same age. Since she has moved to byte sailing, I had been on my "letting go" program and had been able to do this with most part of the physical side of sailing.

What I often struggle with is the sharing of sailing knowledge and tactics as well as racing strategies with long regattas liked the National Youth (5 days ler!). Anyway, I was able to not say a word and let her sail on her own this time! During these 5 days, I got up in every morning and I said a simple prayer for her and finished each of these prayers with "Let YOUR WILL be done!". It turned our that HIS WILL is to give her the trophy this time! :-)

This January, I did not pen down an entry to remember my best-est friend, Andrew... he was the one who had often told me about letting go and focusing on GOD's WILL be done! Now he knows that I have done it... it is my tribute to him along with the mission work that I am doing this year. Andrew had been my inspiration for serving for many years... perhaps for me, it is just catching up on this part of my life!...

Let go so you too can focus on having HIS WILL be done! It will fire you up for other good things! :-D
