Sometimes you can trust and hope that everything is going to be rosy and God doesn't promise that. He promises that He's got our backs and He's prepared a place for us.
I can remember coming downstairs before school every day and my mom would be reading her Bible and doing her devotion and praying. Both my parents were prayer warriors.
Trust is having total confidence in something and having faith in someone or something. It's not one of those things you have a little bit of. To me, that's what trust is all about.
I believe God gave me the ability to play hockey, and I was helped by dozens of individuals along the way, so it's not just up to me on when it's time to say goodbye.
God gave me a gift and everyone is gifted differently. But it's as though using those gifts for him and kind of recognizing that and giving him the glory and I think just I've been very fortunate.
And as far as being a leader, I've always kind of been a bit of a quiet leader for the most part and tend to just lead by work ethic and example and those types of things and just be a good teammate and try to love everyone the same way.
