Preparation

Isn't it funny how there is such a parallel between sports training and life? I am the girl who wants a full map of what's going to happen. But even when I set a goal (sports or life) two things are clearly apparent: 1) I can only put 100% into today doing everything possible to prepare and 2) my coach/god has unimaginable glories in store that I haven't even considered.

Athletes: your coaches can see potential in you that you can't even imagine. We see you going beyond your wildest dreams if you will just apply yourself 100% to our training plan for you. I as a coach get so frustrated when a girl's talent is cut short, because they only can see one way--when I see grander glories... Isn't this how God feels when we don't follow his "practice plan?"

Step back and think about it.




"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord , “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. (Jeremiah 29:11 NIV)"
