struggles..

bible verse of the day: Philippians 4:6-7 from the NIV
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

okay(: so i think this week has been very hard & difficult to get through. first of all, i was sick during the 4day weekend ): it was horrible, but i did get better. also with volleyball and the team. that was something i struggled with too. the last struggle i went through was me & god.

so going more in depth with my struggles.. i'll talk about volleyball & the team first. so this past wednesday we had our very first real season game @ presidio. im the captain of the team and man is the role & responsibilities of being captain hard. hahaha(: but seriously, it is. i was so mad that game just because i wanted to win really bad. i felt so bad after though because why should i get mad at people about a game? i didnt feel like a captain, i felt like all i cared about was myself and winning. that night, i talked with someone about it and realized more my attitude sucked and that i didnt act like a captain. the captain of a team has to lead the team & be a role model. and one thing that person said to me was that: "with great power comes great responsibility" and i think that its definitely true. being a captain isnt easy, but i think i can do it because i wanna help build our team together and have team chemistry. be one team together. but that was it for volleyball. oh! and the next day i apologized for the way i acted. so yeah :)

the other struggle i had was with me & god. i think it was really hard for me to be able to have time with god. it wasnt hard actually, its just i didnt. i know i should have read my bible more or prayed more. i prayed but not enough. i think thats one main thing i need to work on with myself cause my relationship with god doesnt grow if i dont read the bible, pray, etc. the relationship goes nowhere. so my goal this year is to be either reading the bible, praying, etc. everyday so that my faith grows and i can share with other people. i havent started yet so i think i'll start doing it TONIGHT!(:

so those were my struggles of the week.. some were harder to come over but im managing. hopefully i dont have any this upcoming week and i will be able to maintain my goal & keep my faith growing.(:
