So it has been a bit since I last wrote something on this blog so here is what's been up. I was patient and waited for the Lord. I got anxious and depressed as the summer ended and still had no place to play professional basketball, but when I was just about to hand in the towel my agent found me a team to play on in Romania. So, with that said I am now in Romania playing ball. With this, I am alone without any friends or family near by. However, I am learning what it means to be still and calm in the Lord. I spend most of my days in my room with nothing to do but think, watch sermons, and just listen. Sometimes walking to practice or around town it also is just me and the Lord time. It has been a great experience, although only one week, to see things in a different perspective. I feel peaceful and calm, paying attention to every detail and what's going on around me. Taking in what i can.
Another thing I am learning and working on is loving my enemies, or teammates that rub me the wrong way. Lately I have been quick to my temper and frustration with others. But Jesus says "Love your enemies. Pray for those who persecute you" Matthew 5:44 I am learning to love on them no matter what they might think, say or do to me. It's difficult but a better strategy than getting wrapped up in all the frustration and stress.
But God is good and i am learning a lot and loving every bit of it. It's just another stage of my life :)
