Slower week, just one game

Wednesday night we had a game in Foxboro.  Foxboro is actually only about 20 min away.  So this away game was closer than my home games.  Which was nice for me.  Instead of the 40 min drive to my home rink.  Well im getting ahead of myself here.  Tuesday the day before the game i went in to talk with the coach.  I just asked him how he thought i was playing.  He said i played really well in the weekend in NY and i said yes i thought so too.  He said i keep playing well i get to keep playing and he told me then that i was going to dress for wednesday nights game.  

So wednesday going into the game i knew i was going to play.  We started the game and my first couple of shifts were not great.  I wasn't playing comfortable and my mind was starting to wonder a little bit.  I was asking the Lord to help me and play through me and what i heard the Lord say to me then was  "Be still".  So instead of praying 5oo miles a minute and thinking about what the Lord needed to do on my behalf i was just still.  I let my mind rest and i just focused on the Lord.  It was perfect.  I started speaking in tongues again and just focusing my mind.  The rest of the game went great!!  I played soo well.  We that game and as a team we didn't play very well at all.  But i thought that i played great!  I even got to play on the Penalty Kill later on in the game.  It was great for me to get to play on the penalty kill.  I was very thankful to the Lord for helping.  

So i was pleased with how it went.  We had a very good hard practice thursday.  Everyone was skating hard and going 100%.  We wernt happy that we lost that game.  So we were working hard.  We had friday, saturday and sunday all off.  It was crazy.  That is such a long break in the middle of the season.  But it was nice.  Friday i went to some of the guys house and hung out with them.  It was a good time.  But overall it was a very nice break.  

I see the Lord taking me deeper and deeper into allowing the Holy Spirit to play through me more and more.  I dont want to limit allowing the Holy Spirit to move through me just during games.  I want Him to move through me every single day of my life.  In everything i do.  Everywhere i go.  LETTING His light shine through me.  Im so thankful for the Lord.  That we can turn to Him for absolutely everything we need.  He is so trustworthy.  Worthy of our 100% trust.  Im very thankful.  

We have a game this wednesday and then we go to New Jersey for 2 games this weekend.  My family and Carol and Kelly are going to be meeting me there and watching those 2 games it should be an exciting time!  ha.  Im thinking that i will be be home on the 22nd or the 23rd for thanksgiving break.  If i leave the 22nd i wont get home till very early the next morning.  But i will see what i will do.  But i will be seeing most of you very shortly!

Love you all,  I will update again after the games in New Jersey.  Bye!
