BUt i have to say that this last week was a difficult one, situations were tough, but were resolved by God's grace (of course), and so that's always good =) Our team is in the playoffs, not as high in the ranking as expected, but that's alright. But i guess the biggest thing that i'm disappointed about is the fact that we lost our sportsmanship point for one game. That not only brought us down two spots, but it really made me re-evaluate why my team's playing for the league. I know that there were circumstances that led to this, but it's really disappointing to see that the team (and myself included) can't control ourselves when things don't necessarily go our way (ie. calls, or positioning, etc.) I dunno, if we can't get all of the sportsmanship points, then we shouldn't be in this league, bc this league is about saving lives, not necessarily being safe on a play. I dunno, what do you do in those situtations? when a player gets a little out of hand and you can't control them? And if this player wants to join your team again the next year, then how should you go abotu that situation? I dunno...been doing a lot of thinking abotu softball, for next year, and/or how to improve this year. And i've just gotten more ermm...disappointed i guess. I know that this is a sr league, which makes it harder for people commit cause they actually have lives (not like me). But then what happens when you've been through one rough year, and the team wants to remain in tact. And u know that the same problems will arise next year? That the priorities of the team are elsewhere and not softball, and you knwo that you're going to have to endure another year of disappointment in terms of saving lives. THen what can u do to prevent that?? Hrmm.....so yeah been doing a lot of thinking like that....
And also about a close friend of mine and his brother. I'm really sorrie to hear about what happened, and i don't even know how to begin to bring comfort to my friend. I've been contemplating this for a while, but then i was reminded by Jon that, i don't need to say anything to bring him comfort, he just needs my presence and he just needs a friend around. Death isn't supposed to take us apart, but death is supposed to be a reminder that we will once again see each other in heaven. But if that's not the case, then death is truly a sad and tragic thing. And i think that really encourages me to keep praying for my brother; to continue to persevere in sharing the gospel with him (even if he knows it 10x better than i do). I pray that God will give him that heart to step out in faith and just let God take control. God can change hearts, even hardest of hearts, and most of the time, it has nothing to do with us. So i have to trust Him that He knows what's best.
