Don't be scared to take a hit

   Sorry guys for not posting in a while, its been a crazy couple of weeks. Lets start with a story from the bible- Jonah

   Jonah back in the day was a modern day prophet at his time in his 'mission trip' to assure people about the living God, his word, and his promises. He was a clever man and seemed to be fearless for God was on his side...
Jonah 1 1-3 NLT
"The lord gave this message to Jonah son of Amittai: “Get up and go to the great city of Nineveh. Announce my judgment against it because I have seen how wicked its people are.” But Jonah got up and went in the opposite direction to get away from the lord . He went down to the port of Joppa, where he found a ship leaving for Tarshish. He bought a ticket and went on board, hoping to escape from the lord by sailing to Tarshish."
   
   So a man strong in his faith with God ran away... Isn't that ironic that sometimes when the odds are against us and we are destined to do the impossible that's we become scared and frighten because WE don't believe WE can. From experience, I know now that God doesn't care about size, how much you can bench, or how great a hockey player I can be; he fills us up with his love and his power so we can put into his supernatural effect. Even in the Bible, he said, DON'T BE AFFRAID 365 TIMES!!!!!
   Trust me, there's been some time when I gave up or didn't believe in myself or others, but God helps me because a strong person and hockey player that spreads his name of love. Sometimes in the game, you have to take the hit to make a play even if it hurts or not. God didn't say it was going to be easy of given, you have to earn it through obedience and unconformable situations.

A year without Hockey

My season and junior hockey career ended by falling short to the playoffs with the CT Chiefs on February 28th, 2020. I was injured (but still playing), touring multiple college campuses, texting and emailing with college coaches to get them to come see if what I had to offer was good for their program.  Energy, Speed, relentlessness, passion and loyalty. Injured or not, I was driven to get on a college team and take the next step in my life. Then as I was a phone call away from commiting to a college, that's when the world literally started shutting down. 14 days to flatten the curve.  The hockey world, while I was at a rink watching pro sports, shut down right before my own eyes. People preluding to wearing masks even before the mandatory mask mandates and breaking news that weekend of a national shutdown across the U.S. I was heartbroken, stressed and feared what would happen next for everyone in everyday life and hockey.  The only thing that kept me sane an...

Team FCA

Hello guys! To those of you who don't know, I'm in Alexandria, Minnesota this summer interning with FCA Hockey. To the people who donated, thank you so much for supporting me in this journey this summer! To the people who have no idea what I'm talking about, I'll fill you in coming up and tap here to donate.    So I've come into Minnesota May 20th to meet my billet family, and the guys who are interning along side with me. We set up our rooms and chat about our hockey and faith experiences and connected real quick.     This week, we started most of the days with an ice session that was great! We as a group then sat down and talked about our duty's here, learning the facilities and worked on our testimonies. As Thursday came around, our first camp, Team FCA started. I was the coach on Gold team. We went over the message of the summer in Matthew 28:18-21.      Then Jesus came to them and said,"All authority in heaven and on earth has been given t...

Team FCA Camp

      This week we welcomed all the interns to Alexandria as well as campers on thursday afternoon for Team FCA and Jr. FCA. My team was with FCA Jr. Black as we went 2-1 this weekend and had 11 total campers accepted Jesus in their lives. We prepared, trained and tried our best to further the kingdom of God and making disciples.      The impact I felt was amazing and had very interactive conversations, devo talks and hockey talks with many of my team, the other FCA Jr. team and older kids that I've known since I started this 3 years ago. It was cold most of the weekend, but we got a lot accomplished and introducing a worship team with Travis, Allie and Addison. Also for the 1st time we had a junior/ youth hockey panel talking about the hockey culture and how to combat it with our faith and make it better. We watched the chosen, a tv series free to watch, about the disciples of the bible and their story within following Jesus. Games, workouts, yog...
