Jeremy Lin shared his current situation that his goal was to be content in Christ every day.
On January 29, the Christian basketball player said on China's Twitter Sina Weibo, "Arrived at Disney, the world's happiest place, haha. Already checked into the room. After isolation for a couple of days, I can finally go to the court."
In the new season, Jeremy Lin is expected to sign with Golden State's G League affiliate, the Santa Cruz Warriors. Lin posted a video on Weibo on January 21, saying that he had packed his luggage and was going to Santa Cruze. "I'm going to drive to Santa Cruz. I will be isolated for 7 days there and then our team will fly to Orlando. In there, I will be isolated again for four days before nine days practicing. We have 15 games after that."
Last year, Lin joined China's CBA and brought "Linsanity" to the CBA arena. With his teammates' hard work, the Chinese Basketball Association's Beijing Ducks have once again returned to the top four. The American-Taiwanese gained many fans, and his skills and philanthropy behaviors were appreciated by many people.
In September last year, Lin decided to temporarily leave the CBA for his NBA dream and wished everyone with Proverbs 16:3: "Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans."
Before that, he had been watching every chance to return to the NBA. The agent told him that the NBA was not interested in CBA statistics., so the fastest way back to the NBA was through the Development League. Last season, 35 players stepped onto the stage of the NBA through it.
After a long wait, Lin decided to join the Golden State's G League affiliate, the Santa Cruz Warriors on January 10 this year. He encouraged himself with Proverbs 16:5 on Instagram: "Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord. Though hand joins in hand, he shall not be unpunished."
According to San Francisco Chronicle, the star forwent a seven-figure contract in China and signed with Golden State's G League affiliate, the Santa Cruz Warriors, for less than the average elementary school teacher's salary. "To surrender all of that and to come here, honestly, some people think I'm crazy," said Jeremy Lin.
He also shared his feeling of returning to the NBA on Instagram. When he was young, he said he was a brat who didn't work hard enough and would get kicked out of practice. He learned to work hard and "not waste my life." As he got older, he got so focused to "not waste my life" that he could only obsess and worship everything felt needed to accomplish. When he finally achieved what he set out to do, he just set more goals.
Jeremy said he was coming full circle back to the league, but his goal changed. "My goal is to be so content in Christ everyday which will actually truly help me 'not waste my life'."
He said, "I don't want to be lazy, but I don't want to be idolized. I want to thank Jesus for everything that comes my way while at the same time giving my all in pursing my dream. Bottomline is, if I can't learn to be content today, then I won't be even when I get to my destination!! Thanks to everyone for rolling me on this journey."

林书豪在自己的微博上分享了自己的近况，说他的目标是每天在基督里得着满足。
1月29日，他说：“到达了迪斯尼！全球最快乐的地方哈哈。已经入住了房间。隔离几天以后就终于可以上球场了。”
新赛季，林书豪加入了在NBA勇士发展联盟下属球队圣克鲁兹勇士。上周1月21日，林书豪在个人微博发布了一段视频，已经打包好行李的他准备出发前往圣克鲁斯。他在视频中说：“我现在要开车去圣克鲁斯，我在圣克鲁斯要隔离7天，然后我们全队直接从圣克鲁斯飞到奥兰多，然后再隔离4天，就可以开始练球，我们要练9天，练完球我们有15场比赛。”
去年林书豪加入中国的CBA，把“林旋风”刮到了CBA的赛场，在他和队友的一起努力下，首钢男篮再次返回了四强的行列。林书豪收获了许多粉丝，并且他展现的球技以及在球场下的许多慈善行为受到许多人的赞赏。
去年9月，林书豪决定暂时离开CBA继续追寻NBA梦想，并以箴言书16章3节祝福大家：你所做的要交托耶和华，你所谋的就必成立。
此前，他一直关注着每一个重返NBA的机会。经纪人告诉他，NBA对CBA的数据并不感兴趣，重返NBA最快的方式就是通过发展联盟，上赛季有35名球员通过发展联盟踏上了NBA的舞台。
经历了漫长的等待，今年1月10日，林书豪确定加盟发展联盟球队圣塔克鲁兹勇士。他在Instagram公布这则消息，并以箴言16:5鼓励自己：凡心里骄傲的，为耶和华所憎恶，虽然连手，他必不免受罚。
据《旧金山纪事报报道》，林书豪放弃了中国七位数的合同，以低于小学教师平均工资的价格与圣克鲁兹勇士完成签约。“放弃这一切来到这里，说实话，有些人认为我疯了，”林书豪说道。
他也在Instagram发文分享自己重返NBA的心境，坦言过去自己是个乳臭味干的小伙子，做事不认真，所以被踢出练习场。他学会了勤奋，并且“不浪费自己的生命”。随着年龄的增长，他专注于“不浪费自己的生命”，专注于自己要完成的事。当完了自己定下的目标，就会重新制定更多的目标。
林书豪分享说，他的运动生涯绕了一大圈，如今重新回到发展联盟，目标却不再一样，“我的目标是每天在基督里得着满足，这能真正帮助我‘不浪费自己的生命’。”
他说，“我不想偷懒、盲目追崇，我想要感谢耶稣付出的一切，也给我很多让我能够追梦。最重要的就是，如果我现在不能学会满足，即便我真的达到我的目的地，也不会因此满足。感谢大家在这趟旅程带给我的。”
