James 4:6

Days turned to weeks. Weeks turned into months and all I was getting was no's or no word at all. There was one team that continued to check on me and show interest in joining their staff. It just wasn't in the position or role that I wanted. It was a NBA G-League role that would have me working under a person that got the job I wanted. So I was very reluctant to even consider it. Especially with it being in a cold city I didn't particularly care for. 

Time went by and all my options exhausted I reached back out to the team to ask if the position was still available. Not what I wanted but there were some pros for sure. The main one being in the "NBA" circle. There was one that that was holding me back. In the NBA G-League you do not travel to every city. I was hoping this team did not have @Portland on their schedule... Well they did. And it was for multiple games so that meant a multiple night stay. My pride said no I'm not going back. My ego said you're too good for that. People go see you and say this or think that. One's pride, one's ego can prevent many blessings. My mom hit me with "I will support you in whatever choice you make, but I would hate for you to miss your blessing because it's not the path you want" Pride is not only a personal flaw of mine, but it's a sin that separates us from God. I needed to embrace some humility to allow myself to align with God's will. A colleague of mine sent over title to a book that she recommended I read. "Chop Wood, Carry Water".

After reading the recommended book, I decided to take the job with the Chicago Bulls G-League team, the Windy City Bulls! I was right down the road from home, I would get to spend holidays at home, it seemed like the next best thing to being in the NBA. It was time to move my stuff from Portland Oregon to Chicago Illinois to start my next chapter...
