Wushu vs. Christianity
Born in 1986, baptized in 1987 and confirmated in 2003, Christianity in my life have been going on. And will be going till the second coming and then eternally. I have changed a lot from an old me to a new me. Learnt the meaning of life and the primary purpose of living in this world. Got tempted in many ways and fell along many times. Fall again whenever I stood up strong but I did learn my mistakes, only that was serious enough for me to realize I that I can't afford to continue like this. I prayed for a lot of things and those things I prayed did come true if it's for the sake of glorifying Him. However I also did not get what I wanted in prayer also for He wants me to wait for a reason. I can say that Christ changed me a lot inside out. I really thank Him for that.
Wushu came into my life since secondary 1 as one of my cca. It became my hobby and interest when I was secondary 3. Developed a goal in secondary 4, that is, to train in the nationals. Train hard since then. Did not perform well enough in the competition in secondary 5. Tried harder in poly year 1 but did not get to compete what I wanted. Pushed myself to the limits in poly year 2 just to get my coach to recognize me and allow me to compete in the routine I always wanted for. But still failed. Was glad that I finally have a chance in poly year 3 to compete what I always wanted to - a dream come true - just to display what I am most capable of. But turn out to be nothing for I know there was a reason behind it.
This is my life in wushu for the past 9 years. Nothing but disappointment in myself (But I still thank Him). Having a goal is like having a purpose. My goal in wushu determines my purpose in every single training since secondary 4. Sweat, bled, and injured proved to be worthy in every way I see. But not anymore, wushu is just a sport to me now. I do not have purpose in it. It means nothing but fitness. An interest converted into a mere sport.
Just as God doesn't want me to focus too much in it for. He made me injured whenever new moves are learnt. He made me realize that the purpose I have in wushu doesn't serve as a purpose for Him. Therefore, that is why He made me injured so many times in so many similar ways just to convey the message across as I do not learn from it.
So what do I mean by 'Wushu vs. Christianity'? It means that without Christ, I won't be in wushu. And I wouldn't have known so many great friends throughout the 9 years especially for the recent 3 years. I had a dream in wushu and I am glad that the dream did not fulfil for I realize it was just a temporary goal, not an eternally one.
Now I have a temporary and an eternal goal - to be filial and to be a servant respectively.
