basketball carnival.

Well i am 2 days into a basketball carnival... most of the games have been good, tho some were a bit rough... just for interest sake we have won 3, lost 2, and had 1 draw so far.
I am finding the carnival really good, not just in the games, but also in the relationships, with other team members, state members, opposition, and supporters.... just catching up with people i know from other years at the carnival and see where their at and what God is doing in there life...
But then there is also meeting new people... and having a chance to chat with them. Today i had the chance to do both... meet to knew people and talking with friends i haven't seen for a while.
It is always encouraging when we get to hear where friends are at... and what God is doing in their lives, it spurs us on. So the last couple of days i have fun doing that.
Today i also met some other people, and i got to talk to one of them about God, she wasn't a christian and is looking at different religion searching for something... This carnival has allowed her to ask questions about what christianity is about. It was awesome.
Also got to talk to a team mate, who has a bit of a rough trott the year, so that was great to be there for her, for her to talk to and be open... and me being open with her.
So today has been great... i am fairly sore but it is worth being here....
Cause the only thing i have in common with some of these friends is basketball... so what better place to share Christ with them... what ever that looks like at the time.
