Huge year of Ultimate

[JMc]

I'm sending this both for myself and everyone else whose year looks similar to this...

2010 is going to be a massive year of Ultimate.
World Clubs. U23 Worlds. U19 Worlds. This on top of a domestic competition that's getting more difficult and time-intensive every year.

There are several people involved with all 3 Worlds campaigns, and a large number involved with at least 2, all of whom will also have a Nationals campaign to go with it. This means huge amounts of team training, individual fitness work, weekend tournaments and training camps, repetitive travel... on top of regular uni/school/work/life.

I would like prayer, for myself and others, for the ability to prioritise this year. The ability to meet all of our commitments while still having our eyes on the prize of God.
I also ask for prayer that all these people would have strong support in their lives - people that can help them this year.
Finally, I ask for prayer that people would not just attempt to survive this year (spiritual "maintenance"), but strive to actually use this as an opportunity for growth, both personally and for those around them. These campaigns give us the opportunity to get to know other people very well, and develop strong relationships. We have the choice to leave these as team-mate relationships, or risk rocking the boat in an attempt to reach out and talk to people about things that matter.

I have been terrible at these things in the past, and so I aim for 2010 to be a different experience. Hopefully there are many others who will be aiming for something similar. Your prayers would be appreciated greatly.

Thanks all.
