On the "B" Team

Some of my friends and I have a joke that we are on the "B" team.  In school, I was never the first one chosen for a team sport and to be really honest, I was just hoping that I would not be the last.  My participation in sports has always been the individual kind like swimming and track.  That way I could always be on my "A" team and I was competing against my personal best.  As my life has continued, I set goals and reward myself when my best has been achieved.  After all, I am self-employed and I need to recognize a personal achievement because if I don't, no one else will.  But what about those areas of life where I really am on the "B" team and there are others out there that hands down will always do a better job?   This is when I really have to stop and realize that the success or failure of something is really not dependant on the weakest or strongest link but that 75% that is the solid middle.  "B" team players tend to be consistent and dependable not relying on their own abilities and talents but on the reliability of God.  You know, I think I am really okay with being on the "B" team.
