The boys did it! They passed their Swimming Proficiency Bronze Test on Aug 10, 08. What a relief and great joy! I was a wee bit anxious, especially for Bryan Samuel, on our way to the swimming complex that morning. Though Bryan Samuel did very well during the past couple of weeks of training, he just wasn't in the mood and did not co-operate at all during the training session on the eve of the test. It was a complete disaster. Everything he knew, he did not perform properly. There was nothing else we could do except to leave the outcome in the Lord's hands and also to Bryan Samuel himself.
We said a prayer that morning and gave Bryan Samuel a pep talk to encourage him to do his very best. We were simply happy just to hear his signature reply -"Ok!"
God is faithful. He came through for us again. Bryan Samuel did very well during the swim test. When several of the other children failed and were called out of the pool by the tester, my heartbeat pulsated even faster ...... rooting strongly for both boys, in particular Bryan Samuel, to go on and do their very best.
Lo and behold! Both boys did very well and passed their Swimming Proficiency Bronze Test. I was so proud of them. My heart was filled with deep gratitude to the Lord for His faithfulness and great love for us!
