Tales of a Secret Rockstar

The hockey tournament went much better than expected. For one thing, our team just got along really well. It felt like family. After all the craziness leading up to the tournament, that was a welcome feeling. Second, we were totally the underdogs. I loved it. It was cool to face such a challenge, and to see my team rise to that challenge. Third, I really enjoyed being the captain. I just loved leading that team. They were all excited to play and do their best, and it was fun pushing them on. They pushed me on just as much. Man, in our semi-final, going into the overtime period, it felt like we were the Mighty Ducks or something. We just got eachother so pumped up. I think I enjoyed leading this team mostly because my heart was into what we were doing. I believed in us. I saw the odds, and believed that our team could overcome them. That was kind of a new feeling for me. Weird. There's something cool about leading a group of people you like in a cause that you all believe in. It's special. I think Jesus felt like this sometimes . . . on the good days.
