So this week was a pretty crappy week. I was just all over the place emotionally and half of the time I did not even know why. There are just a whole bunch of things on my mind that I cannot get rid of ever. I don't even like my classes this semester so there's nothing to look forward to there. And as far as volleyball goes, well Monday sucked because we had to run a lot because a few of the girls were late last weekend and that sucked. The next morning we had team workout and my legs (outer quads) were feeling very sore. But I worked out and it was a lot of leg stuff like squats and such and that was quite painful and i thought they were just sore. Then in practice on Tues and Wed I did a whole bunch of jumping.. it felt like more than normal but it probably wasn't but my legs just kept getting more sore. And then for our games yeaterday and today they hurt so much. I had to just will myself to jump sometimes because they did not want to. This was a struggle and I do not know how to fix it. I cannot stretch them and rolling them made it hurt more. And I'm not sure if heat or ice is a good thing for it either.
Anyways, so we won yesterday which was great and we played well so that was fun. Today we also won, but did not quite play as well. And the second half of the game was very hard for me. First of all my legs were starting to hurt more and more and then my coach yelled at me. He singled me out and yelled so loudly at me. I'm sure the whole gym heard it. It sucked and because of the emotional roller coaster I had this week and the pain I was in, it almost pushed me over the edge. It took all that I had not to cry right there and for the rest of the game I had to really hold the tears back. He apologized to me after the game which was nice but it was still difficult to handle when it happened. I just really hope that next week will be better. This is one verse that helped keep me going this week :) God is so good!
"In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified." -Romans 8:26-30
Oh and something I forgot about, I was named the Pacwest (thats my league) athlete of the week. Which was really cool because I have never received any sort of recognition ever before. Most people are surprised when they hear that but its true. However it didn't feel as if I even got it because the rest of the week was not so great and it kinda overshadowed it. And everyone has most likely forgotten about it by now anyways.
