2-1 Record... and more

Hey everyone!
This past week was intense! I was preparing with my team for two games with 3 of our players in Florida for volleyball national, an absent coach, 3 tests and a few other assignments. I did well on my academics and our preparation for our games payed off. We faced College of St. Marys JV team and pulled out with a win. The next night we came out, 6 players strong, a little banged up, but ready to go. Saturday at 2pm, we faced Hastings JV and ended up with a win as well. My goal for myself is to get 30 rebounds just like my new found NBA basketball love Kevin Love! I absolutely love him! Recently he had 31pts and 31 rebounds in a game against the knicks. It's the first time in about 28 years that an NBA player has scored 30-30. So you can see where I get my high goals! hahaha yes, they may be lofty and I may never reach them, but might as well try right?? What have I got to lose?? Needless to say, it is great to have our team and coach back for preparation this week. This Wednesday, November 17th we will not be playing. The game has been postponed. Next week we play four time. Monday, Tuesday, Friday and Saturday. unfortunatley only the Monday game will be a home game. We play at 5:30 and the men play directly after! I look foreward to seeing you there! Remember! Live life on purpose, for we are only gaurenteed today and chase hard after Jesus like he stole something from ya!
I love you,
Rade

First Game!

Alumni weekend and all its happenings here at Grace are coming to a close. The alumni game was a fun experience and it was great to meet past family members of the Grace Women's Basketball program and to play ball with them. Today was our first game and we played Concordia University's JV team and unfortunately lost by 9 points. It was a learning experience and we'll do things differently for the next time we meet up with them. Thank you! so much to friends and family who came out to support me in today's game! You guys are awesome! I appreciate you taking the time out of your day to come and be apart of mine! Oh, you are probably wondering about the Homecoming Queen deal, well, I will know more on Monday in chapel! So until then, continue to live life radically on purpose right where you are, chase Jesus and be life-lifting in every conversation you take part in!
I love you.

Basketball Season!

Hey everyone! It's finally my senior year which means that my college life, as I now know it, is soon coming to a close. I'm really excited for what God has instore for me this year! It's hard to believe that we are halfway through first semester already and three weeks before Thanksgiving break! Basketball season is kicking off with the homecoming games this saturday, November 6th! We play at 2 o'clock and the men play at 4 o'clock pm. Speaking of homecoming, I have been nominated for Homingcoming Queen! Fun right? It's awesome to be honored like that, so we will see how things turn out and I'll keep you updated!  Have an awesome week  this week and don't forget to live your life radically on purpose! Chase after Jesus hard like he stole something from you and make it a point to be life-lifting in every conversation!
I love you,
Rade
