Due to circumstances out of my control, I was unable to attend the first two practices. Last night was the first practice to which I have gone. I threw basketball relay for 30 minutes straight last night and my arms are now paying the price. It hurts to extend them.
I have a lot of areas that need work. Apparently, I slap the ball, my bounce passes aren't as accurate as I would like them to be, I need to get the ball out of my hands faster, and get a better jump out of the triangle.
I was not to impressed with the people there. There were some I thought were awful that surprised me by being adequate and some I assumed were good at basketball that were not quite there.
I am having a hard time with this thing. I know I am significantly better than just about everyone at AWANA when it comes to athletics and games and that sort of thing. Its not that I try to brag about it, I am sincerely trying not to do so. However, I am easily frustrated at the incompetencies of others and I often times let it show. I have two options, quit trying or start screaming. If I quit trying, it helps me to relax a little bit more, I don't feel angry at people because I am doing my part and they are messing it up, and I am able to shrug it off when somebody messes up. But when I do this I come across as a jerk who doesn't care. If I start to get angry, obvious what happens there, everyone and their moms (QUITE LITERALLY) get angry at me.
I'm not sure if I need patience because I sincerely doubt that waiting for people to stop messing up is going to help me. I guess I need peace to just deal with it without getting upset.

It's still the beginning of the year. EVERYONE is going to be rusty. People will get better as the year goes on (trust me, I am exhibit A for this truth!)
Praying for peace.
