Kyle was excited to be selected to run the mile in his 2nd NCAA D1 meet which will take place at Penn St. 11:30am this Sat...he does his wholehearted best and leaves it at that! Johanna has a rec. level B-ball game today but is probably more excited about the ride up and back with her friends and their planned after game pizza party then the game itself. Two different levels but both enjoying the sports they participate in and the teams they are on, win or lose. Hmmm...wish I could have been like that! It was life or death for me. I took it all way to seriously. I was a junkie! Addicted to winning! My identity, self worth, and significance was all tied up in my performance and achievements. Sick! I'm sooooo glad I fell in love with God, so in depted to the Holy Spirit's work in my life (so much left to do but grateful for the progress and life long commitment to help me) over the eyars and happy I married Chris who had a strong biblical foundation in her life as well as life's priorities properly ordered. Ahhhhh.....sports, life, and God's purposes that I'm called to serve.....WHAT a JOURNEY!
Stay tuned to this blog if you want to know more gory details and the spiritual life lessons I've learned from the Trinity, as I "open up" about all God has, and is continuing to do in my life through serving Him as a sports minister the last 26 years (and as a follower of Christ for 32 years). I pursue "living out" the virtues of Christ that He modeled for me, but my sinful selfish heart so often gets the best of me. Not sure of the rating that will be attached to this revealed content yet (because half is really gross and sinful while the other is clean and wholesome-Hmmmm...does that make it RPG?).
Pursuing glorifying God with my life....the Impossible is possible but by the grace, mercy and power of the Holy Spirit. thanks be to God!
