1. I have been praying so hard for my kid sister since the day I accepted Christ. This past weekend she came up to Manhattan and spent the day with me. We went to the volleyball game and I told her I had a surprise for her. She got to meet Shalin Spani, her role model in life. She looks up to how Shalin played the game of basketball and now coaches. Natalie was so pumped. But I was more pumped because my kid sister picked a Female, Christian, Athlete, who is a Fantastic person and also someone who I respect greatly and consider a friend. All I could think about was how there are so many bad influences in the media and sports world, yet God provided Natalie a role model is more than I could have ever prayed for! How awesome is that!
2. I had some quality hang out time at the movies with my good friend, Lacey Morris this weekend also. We went and saw Moneyball. There was a quote in the movie that went something like this :
"Everyone in life is told at some point they are out of commission, some at 18 and some at 40"
This quote rocked me pretty hard. I couldn't get over how much it penetrated my heart. All I could think about was how every time a doctor as sat me down and basically told me I was crazy for trying to make yet another comeback. Yet, by the grace of God I've managed to come back and give it one more hard fight. It left me to wonder if this is my time that they are right, that I might just be out of commission for good. It's not that this thought scares me but more so that it just might be true.
3. I spent one evening this weekend over at Sara's and we had such a great conversation about our faith, friendship, and just life in general. After the conversation I realized how blessed I am. God placed the perfect people in my life, at just the perfect times. Especially after the past year. Wow is all I have to say. If it wasn't for these people God crossed my paths with I wouldn't be where I am today.
4. I found myself with 45 minutes to kill at the track while waiting on my private coaching session with Sam on Sunday. I couldn't help but want to test out my foot. I just had to see if I could even considering running/jogging on it. The farthest my foot could handle the impact of running was about 400 meters. I paid the price for it too, man was I sore today. But at least now I know and can move on and not be constantly thinking about it 24/7.
