Another sport season is behind us!

Well, we wrapped up volleyball last night with my daughter's team winning the finals. They all played beautifully, although it was a tough match. They went two games, first game was 25-23 second game 25-23 also. They played Sunman-Dearborn Middle School, who by the way, were EXCELLENT players at the net. Our players had a hard time when they were one on one at the net. So anyway, Chess was mad at herself because she felt like she didn't play her best; then she got on the bus to come home and had such a great time with the other players and the 7th grade team that she forgot all about it and was happy when they got back to the school. I will miss watching them play, I wish I didn't have to wait until next year to see them play again!

There's alot I would like to write down here, but because there is so much to write AND I am feeling like I have to keep much of this to myself right now. I believe that God is wanting me to keep my eyes on Him and when I speak to anyone else but Him or write to anyone but Him it feels as though I am betraying Him and not trusting Him. When I share things sometimes, deep down I think that someone will come to my rescue and fix the problem or give me a solution of give me great advise. Although these things are not bad in the sense that God can and does use others to help us, it is just not right for me at this time because He has told me to "Be still and know that I AM God." and "Wait on Him and renew my strength." and just this morning He said to me "Be still before Me and wait patiently for ME!" So this is a must do for me. If God promts you, pray that I am obedient and "wait for Him" I tend to run ahead of Him and try and fix things before I give Him a chance to fix it. I love Him so much, I don't want to fail, I want to be obedient and bring Him joy!

I can tell you this though, when He says to trust Him and rely on Him, it is much easier to purpose your hear to do it, than it is to not do it and trust yourself and rely on yourself and make a huge mess of things.
