Jean-Paul LaFontaine

Chosen Attribute: Teamwork

Why is this attribute important to you?

What is your favorite scripture verse?

Philippians 4:13: "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

Just lets me know how powerful God really is. When I am really challenged in hockey, school work, or relationships, this verse pulls me through and helps me put the focus back on Jesus. I am continually learning to get my confidence from God and not from the world or myself.
