One of my favorite days of the year is the day AFTER are banquet. The banquet is a stressful day for me because it really plays on my anxiety, but the day after is such a release.
This was a difficult basketball season but one I can look back on with happiness and pride. My program grew from this season and I grew as a coach. We were in the playoff race all year, exceeding most people's expectations, but we fell short towards the end.
This year really taught me the importance of effective communication and commuting to growing the character of each of my girls through strategic and intentional talks about where they are, wherw they are going, and how to get there. Character drives results, and teaching character to teenage athletes is a difference maker.
My daily devotional led me to Psalms 37, and these verses are where I'm at today and moving forward. I couldn't be in a better place right now, and it's because of the faith I have in the Lord that He will be there to guide me and order my steps moving forward:
"Fret not yourself because of evildoers; be not envious of wrongdoers! For they will soon fade like the grass and wither like the green herb. Trust in the Lord , and do good; dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness. Delight yourself in the Lord , and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord ; trust in him, and he will act. He will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday. Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way, over the man who carries out evil devices! Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath! Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil. For the evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait for the Lord shall inherit the land. In just a little while, the wicked will be no more; though you look carefully at his place, he will not be there. But the meek shall inherit the land and delight themselves in abundant peace."
