In the waiting game...

While I see on my calendar it's already November 2012, I am struggling to grasp the reality that my Master program is quickly coming to an end. The fear of not finding a job or struggling to find the job I love is beginning to rear its ugly head. There are so many questions. Do I coach, do I work full time or part time, WHAT DO I DO!! Sometimes I want to put my head in a pillow and scream!! Stress management...

I know it is super silly to worry about things that are out of my control but, is that not human nature? The only thing that saves me is knowing that God is in control. When I begin to freak out about the future I try and find a quite moment with GOD and allow Him to have the burden and the fear.

Lord it is very hard to be in this waiting period, and it is scary for a person like me who wants to know all the pieces and be organized. Lord carry me through this season of not-knowing and give me your guidance

Psalm 27
Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.

Time of their lives


Time of their lives

Today is Tuesday and I am in Pittsburg PA with the women’s soccer team playing in the semi-finals of the conference tournament… Other then it being a really long drive it has been awesome!

But anyway……back to why I am writing, the ladies that I coach are strong women, and they love the Lord, each other, and the game of soccer! And what I want to express most to them is that it is not the wins and losses that they will remember, (sure a few games will stand-out) but it is the memories and the friendships that will last. These are the women who will stand with you as marry the man of the dreams, the women who you will forever be in your inner circle of friends.

I can remember like yesterday all the fun, silly and stupid things we did at Vanguard University. The vegetable car race, the bus trip across the United States, the silly dance-offs and many more…

If the season ends today or two weeks for now, I couldn’t be more proud these ladies! They have battled, fought and run a good race, while all along singing praises to the Lord!
