Disciple of Prayer
Requesting prayers to be safe while I’m playing roller derby. I started out not knowing how to skate. I never skated in my life. I took up this sport in my 40’s as I get better I started to noticed some of the women's on the team, don’t want to help me like how they assist other new skaters. I pay my dues just like everyone else, but since I never volunteer for anything else due to my career in life. I don’t have the extra time to volunteer like members that are stay at home mom which I have no issue with. I understand day care is too expensive these day and age. But I noticed when I asked questions on certain technique I always get the cold shoulder because I am not part of the clique. So I just go skating to loose weight I’m. Not enjoying it. But I noticed everyone I skated with for 3 years passed the 101 test before I do, I been working so hard to where I am not afraid to skate anymore my balance is getting is way better I balanced well than most 101 that passed before me. Than now I am getting taunted by all the skaters who passed before I did, by coming up to me after the complete the team practice asking if I was impressed but I just stay humble and quiet but a fire fuel in my heart to get better even if they don’t pass me, on purposed so I found a Junior roller derby team I have been skating with them and they taught me a lot and I’m getting better their technique were so good they allow me to start jamming and. Making contact the coaches and these kids and parents are so amazing they allowed me to experienced how it’s like to be in a derby game. Tomorrow is my very first derby game with these kids. It’s parents Vs kids and my kids are grown but they allow me to practice with them. So my team found out and I’m getting treat more worst than it was but I can tell they want to hit me hard and get me hurt. So please I request prayers to be so good strong fearless, and a heavy hitter, fast most technical jammer their is in roller derby. And that I am able to see my opening and be able to react before they try to hit me hard and I am a smart jammer fast footwork and quick. I will keep practicing with the goal to be one of the most dangers humble and fearless roller derby jammer I can be and that God please keep me safe in the game and practice and that whoever plans to hurt me bad that it won’t happens because I will be able to see it before it happens and react and move quick and avoid the hit. And be able to give a hit and avoid a hit at the same time. Please prayers for my safety in skates and the drive and determination to progress and to be a better jammer and blocker. I have faith in the lord I can do it.
