But i can spare a couple minutes right now and give you a very brief detail. I love giving specific details, but you wont be getting many details here.
The past couple months have been excellent. School has been going well and i see area's where i need to work harder in to do better. A big thing for me is starting to study for tests a bit earlier. And not waiting till the night before. But i am being helped in regards to getting things done earlier so the work doesn't pile up so heavily.
In regards to hockey things have been good there as well. We started to have games about 4 weeks ago. We have played 6 games so far. Its weird not playing as many games as i have in the past. I am used to playing 50/60 games in a season. And here we will only be playing about 30 if that. So each game is very important, you cant really afford to loose any. So far we havent been doing that well. We have only won 2 out of the 6 games. And we just lost the other night. I didnt dress for 3 of the games so far. So i have played in 3 of them as well.
A couple things the Lord has shown me just over the last couple weeks is. He reminded me that me playing up here and doing all this is a Service to HIM, not me. I go around trying to look how i can be helped, but the Lord has shown me that each day i can go around thinking, How can i serve the Lord today? And i take that on the ice with me, how i can i serve him out there and around my teammates, and how can i serve my teammates? I has helped me tremendously.
Another thing the Lord has shown me is, He said to me the other week in practice, "you ask for much, but you dont receive what you ask for." - That hit me hard, but i was very thankful for that. The Lord was showing me that i am asking for help with this or that or favor for this, but when i am asking it, i just ask it and then thats it. Im not asking and THEN receiving. My mom said this the other week, when we receive something from someone we simply say thank you. That has helped me very much in regards to receiving from the Lord. After i ask i simply say, Thank you Lord! And thankfulness has been an excellent key for me to use. Being thankful and having this, service attitude, has helped me when i didnt get to dress for games. I continued to be thankful and was thankful that i had another way to serve my teammates off the ice.
The last thing that the Lord has shown me, just the other night after our game. He told me to step out of the mindset of lack. Thinking i need this or that continually. But be thankful for ALL that i have given you, because it is much.
"The young lions lack food and suffer hunger, but they who seek (inquire of and require) the Lord [by right of their need and on the authority of His Word], none of them shall lack any beneficial thing." - Ps 34:10 (amp)
The says i dont lack any beneficial thing, so i believe Him!
The Lord has been kind to keep opening my eyes to things and He is faithfully working with me and conforming me to the image of His son and i am very thankful for that.
Also i have found a tremendous church up here. Its called, Reigning Miracles Ministries. I am being fed, both spiritually and with physical food as well. ha. Each sunday someone is having me over for food after church and i love it. They are really nice. Its a very small body, but i am thankful to be there.
Thats all i have time for now. Sorry. I have a good amount of work to do tonight. Love you all, thanks!
