Hey guys i wanted to update you on how the games went the other weekend. As you can see from my previous post i finally got a chance to play in a game. We had a game friday night (Jan 7th) and also a game on the 8th. I got to play in both games. Our game friday night was a really good game, we were playing the 6th ranked team in the nation at home and there were about 5 min left in the 3rd period when they scored a goal to break the 2-2 tie. They scored that goal on the power-play and we just couldn't score again to tie it up. So we ended up loosing 3-2 that game, but we played really well, we just took a stupid penalty there that cost us a goal. I was very pleased with how i played friday, i got a chance to play on the penalty kill as well which i was happy about and i really just had a lot of fun. After the game my coach even commented to me on how i played well. So in saturday nights game i got a chance to play again. It was an away game and i got to start that game. Which was fun because they call your name and you skate out to the middle of the ice. I was feeling good about this game, especially with how we played the night before, however, we ended up loosing this game 10-1. It was horrible, we couldn't seem to stop them from scoring. Our whole entire team played bad as a whole, it was just not good at all.
After those two games that weekend we had a couple days off in a row. The following weekend (14th & 15th) we did not have any games. So we just practiced that whole week and played some inter-squad scrimmage games.
Now this weekend (21st & 22nd) we have two more games. One tonight and one tomorrow night, out in the Buffalo area. I was very pleased that i got a chance to play in our last games and i thought that that was going to continue. But i find myself here now not dressing again for tonight's game. I was not happy with it and when i heard the news yesterday after practice it took me a little while to be okay with it. Right now i am doing fine and the Lord is helping me to move forward.
Yesterday i had a chance to speak at another local church's youth group meeting. My one friend who i believe i have mentioned before, his name is Nick, he is a youth pastor at a local church here in Cortland. I came to his youth group meeting last thursday and then after the meeting he asked me if i wanted to speak the following week. I said yes and i knew from the Lord i was to speak on the love of God. It was really fun getting to speak with these young kids (12, 13 and 14 yr olds) about how much the Lord loves them. And it has been so good as to how the Lord has been teaching me about the Love of God in preparing for these teachings.
So right now my mom and Carol are on their way up here to watch my games this weekend and i am hoping that i will have a chance to play tomorrow night.
In the midst of my unfavorable situation i can be convinced that God is for me. I know the Lord is doing a work in me right now and preparing me for all He has in store. Somehow this will turn out for my good, i do not love it by any means, i wanna play! But i know He will work it out for my good and i am what His word says i am. I am a success everywhere i go because He goes with me. So i plan to have a successful night tonight watching my team win!
Love ya'll, thanks for reading.
