even in defeat...i find victory.

do you ever feel like some things you do to the best of your ability turn out to be done in vain? well that is what i felt like today. we lost our 3rd game in a row today to a team we should have beat. they just dont have the heart. they gave up. i was almost to the point of tears. everything we had taught them just seemed to fly by them like nothing; but, thats where i guess i learned my lesson. i tell them all the time that we dont live in defeat and that we must rise from our failure. well, i think they are doing just that.....


.....you see, when i got home tonight i had a message in my inbox on facebook that was from one of my players. he was asking (more like stating) if we could start a bible study with the team, or those who wanted to. i was like "WOAH!!" that is so amazing! i had been praying for this very thing to happen. not that they would be kicked in the face spiritual, but to actually be able to start a bible study with them!! talk about an answered prayer!! PTL forever and ever!! so i guess God reminded me once again that all things can be directed back towards His glory!


Things I liked about today:
-God's awesomeness!!
-Meredith coming to see me. I like her.
-The great back scratch that she gave me (you know I can never give up that opportunity).
-Eating some sweet tart jelly beans. Mmmm!
-My chicken quesadilla from Rosie's.

Song for the day: I Will Rise by Chris Tomlin

There's a peace I've come to know
Though my heart and flesh may fail
There's an echo in my soul
I can sing, it is well

Jesus, has overcome
And the grave is overwelmed
The victory is won
He is risen from the dead

And I Will Rise when he calls my name
No more sorrow, no more pain
I Will Rise, on Eagle's wings
Before my God fall on my kness, and rise
I Will Rise

There's a day that's drawing near
When the darkness breaks to light
And the shadow's disappear
And my faith shall be my eye's

Jesus, has overcome
And the grave is overwelmed
The victory is won
He is risen from the dead

And I Will Rise when he calls my name
No more sorrow, no more pain
I Will Rise, on Eagle's wings
Before my God fall on my kness, and rise
I Will Rise
