New Leadership Role (Unofficial Business)

LONG STORY SHORT----I still have not been elected in officially to become vice chair for the advocacy first group at my independent living center. I am not quite sure what is taking such a long time for this to all take place or if there is a lot more to the process than what I really expected---but who knows if much of anything will occur from this. I have been waiting anxiously for this to take place and have a feeling it may not be one of their top priorities at this time, with all that needs to happen leading up to serving in an entire new role that I have never taken on before. 

"Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander and my faith will be made stronger in the presence of my Savior."

LAST NIGHT----I was really saddened after watching the too close for comfort basketball game that the BYUWBB team ended up short on against an opponent that no one expected to be very good. I have felt the need to share this beautiful quote with one of the assistant coaches and I am not particularly certain if it was what they needed to read at the time, but I hope it was able to lift their spirits in some way that was going to put a smile on their face. 

After I looked up the meaning behind these song lyrics, I was able to find out that it signifies that moving beyond personal limiatations and self reliance to find stronger, deeper faith through direct, personal relying on our Savior, Jesus Christ particularly in challenging times. I love my Savior so much more than I could even put into words at the moment and knowing he has stuck with me through everything that has ocurred in my life is such a blessing. 

Even though the outcome of this basketball game was painful for everybody, I know the lord's hand was in every aspect of it with the players and letting them know it would all be made right. I have complete along with utter faith that our team will bring out their fire into what they put into their last game against our not to be named rivalry school and pull off another victorious dub. I may not know much about basketball and how everything about the game plays out---but I am confident we can keep our heads up high I believe we willl be able to do it. 

I know our basketball teams need to work extra hard this week to pull off wins and make our fans really proud of their efforts to give it everything they have. I know it will be really tough to not have our best players out there on the court and helping our team look as good as we possibly can---but I feel like it's all gonna work out for us in some way or another. 

I am sending my positive vibes and best wishes to both teams as we prepare for what I know will not be an easy task ahead for them to take on opponents that are going to be either a lot more prepared than us or who knows what the situation is going to be???
