Rumble Young Man Rumble

I welcome myself back to my blog, as I've been totally gone for a whole month, which not only has brought a lot a changes to my existence, but also has taught me valuable lessons. It's been a while since I had the chance to sit down, and sort my head out, see things from every perspective and approach their solution in the best way.
During this month, I was able to go home, see my family after a couple of months and see how big my little nephhew has gotten. It was a great time, away from the daily routine that kills us so much, but I was able to value family, not that I never did it before, but you dont realize about what you have until you dont have it anymore. Seeing my sister, my mother, my brother in law, my nephew, and my close friends which I consider family, has opened my heart and allowed me to see that there's a lot more out there than my own dreams.
On the same token, now it's time for me to be on my own again, everything changes one more time. My roommate and best friend is leaving, withdrawling from school and the team making things around here a little bit different, as well as challenging. It always helps to have somebody around that's going through your same situations, but now that he'll be gone soon, I must become me again. To cope with that change, my plan consists on becoming a working machine, staying focused on my basketball and school dreams. I've partied all I needed, I've been out more that I desired, so now it's time to settle down, come down to earth, and work, and I say work, I mean work. Although there's been a minor setback on the form of a knee injury, God is teaching me patience, and resilience in order to keep moving on. It's frustrating seeing your team struggle or lose, but in the end, all it matters is being able to be out there to give them a hand to avoid that situation, and that's what I'm working on right now: getting back out there.
One more time, time to get going, to start fighting again, and to keep believing in Him as He has never and will never leave me (Is 41:10). Time to rumble, young man rumble
