Finding a leader

So as many of you know I coach girls' softball at St. Augustine High School. I work with the Junior Varsity Girls every day after practice and we have a great bunch of girls to work with. We have a few however, who don't like the position they play in. They came to me last night and they were asking me for advice on how to work their way into one of the positions they really, really want to play. I explained to them that it would take hard work and understanding that they are where the team needs them the most. We put each player where they can help the team the most. Not necessarily, always at their best postion but where they can best contribute. One of the things I ask them to do is to watch varsity and how many of them are completely out of position. They have infielders playing outfield, and catchers in the outfield and even a few outfielders in the infield sometimes. There are only 3 players on the varsity that are even in the position they played in last year. But, I wanted our jv girls to have someone to look up to so I have them look at the varsity girls.
I want them to get the work ethic and the attitude of some of the older girls and apply that to themselves, I want them to work hard at the position where they help the team the most. And most importantly I want them to grow into great ballplayers.
Now be honest, as adults we do that in life don't we? We put our trust and look up to people who are doing the things we want to do. As young adults we look up to the adults who are making the kind of money we want, have the kind of job, house or family we want. As we get a little bit older, we look up to the people who are doing better in the field we are in than we are. And as we get more seasoned, we start to look up to those who were wise with their money and are able to retire the way we want to. It's a vicious cycle that never seems to end. You can always find someone who you would seemingly trade places with financially, career wise or other. But one thing will always stay the same. God.
Isaiah 26:4 Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord is the Rock eternal.
There you have it, no matter what you aspire to be, to do or accomplish in this life you should be looking to God. He is the Rock eternal. I have chosen a lot of adults to look up to in life as a teenager, young adult and even now. BUt, time and time again they have let me down in some way, but God never will. He was, is and always be the Rock eternal. I think that is probably one of the coolest descriptions of God found in the Bible. No matter who you are, you go through changes, you backslide and even stumble. But God is your Rock Eternal.
So put you trust in God, and let all the other things take care of themselves.
Thanks for reading and have a great day!
