Soccer is over! :(

Well soccer is over! Its very weird...towards the end of summer i am totally dreading soccer and telling everybody i hate it....but then when school starts and we start soccer...after our first game I LOVE IT! I guess im weird like that! :) but the tournament was good. The trip down was dissapointing, but the devotions that night with girls helped a lot! and the next night i was able to lead devotions! It was really cool, i felt very lucky! The JV team only won 1 game (8-0) so we only played 3 games and got 5th place but in EVERY game we played our WHOLE team had really good attitudes and we were always happy! It was such a blessing to be able to be surrounded by beautiful scenery, playing soccer with all my friends against CHRISTIAN schools and it was all in the presence of God. Our JV "motto" this year was "We will praise Him when we lose and we will praise Him when we win" and that encouraged all of us so it was really cool! The Varsity team won 2 out of 4 games they play but they also had good attitudes. At the beginning of their games Blaine would yell out "What will we bring Him?" and the rest of the team would yell back "GLORY!". And in the JV games Katie would yell "Who are we playing for?", we would yell back "JESUS!" then she'd say "And what will we bring Him?" "GLORY!" So it was really cool that our schools main focus was to bring God glory and not to win games. On the way home the JV were FORCED to leave early :( Idk why. they let the varsity stay for the awards so yeah. oh well. but anyways on the way home the ride was VERY emotional and had LOTS of drama :( but included with that i was able to have a very good devotional with Catie Danielle Chelsie and Drew! it was really cool. well i think ive said enough :)
