Right now I’m supposed to be finishing my Romans and Galatians class on the tv… I’ve done pretty well actually. I have one and a half classes to go with Mr. Glubish. The only bad part about distance education is you can pause the class and go read and write blogs!!!I guess I don’t have much to say because the things going on in my life would probably need about a page and a half to explain in order for anyone to understand them. So I will sum it up…
I miss church because I don’t get to go often due to work… old people still need to eat Sunday Mornings!!! But I stepped into the building two days ago and I came out a better person!! HA! Seriously, I had been feeling a little down in the dumps. I didn’t even go for a service, just this comedy act. But walking out of there I felt recharged, I thought more clearly, and made some decisions I know God would be proud of!!!
Basketball is amazing… I don’t wear a sign on my head saying “I’m a Christian” because so many people get turned off. But through my actions I hope that the girls will see even just a glimpse of God. Out of no where during our pre game huddle a girl had an idea to pray. I honestly thought they would just ask God to help up win and not even mean it… But we all held hands and a girl prayed. It went a little like this, “Hi God. Please help us play our best because we practice so hard, we deserve this and we need your help. Please help us to have good sportsman ship and be free of injuries. No seriously God!!! Thanks.” Now before every game we pray. It’s almost like the girls peer pressure each other. One girl will designate another girl for the next game giving her 24 hours to think up a prayer!!! All the prayers are so unique and if they miss something another girl usually coughs up what we missed and the girl praying says it… its pretty sweet!!! I am so proud of the girls… not only how they play but who they have developed into over these two months!!!
I have experienced great failure in the last week. But I realized that I didn’t fail, I just didn’t pass. I have come such a far way and I felt such satisfaction in my performance. Failure is a building block if you let it be!! You pick up where you left off and just keep working harder and next time the goal will be that much closer. Failure is only a mark which tells you what you can do better for next time. Just imagine the feeling of success when the final goal is met!!!
I guess that is all for now!! I should finish my class now… but common who am I kidding… I’m going to eat lunch now!! HA!
SUSAN IS COMING IN THREE DAYS!!! I’m so pumped!!!
