So earlier today I was very stressed and discouraged about what I have done, the decisions I have made about football. I then felt God call me to do some bible studies. I wound up taking notes to 3 sermons by different pastors. I feel very refreshed now. I am realizing that I am called to preach, not to play football. Not to take self glorification, but to give God all the glory. I believe this decision will be used to give God glory if I am not lazy. "All of our decisions are either God's will, or are permissed by God. No matter what, He is going to work with it." - Dr. Mac Brunson.
Maybe this wasn't the best decision, but I am confident that God will take this and use it for His glory.

  1. Hey -
    I enjoyed reading your blog and I'm proud of you!! Go back and read your August 29th post about your decision. Remember our feelings are always fickle and change with the wind and we can't trust them. I think you will be proud of the decision you have made - it shows me you have really grown up and matured in the Lord!! I think you are right, Satan loves to mess with us and get us to beat ourselves up - don't let him.
    Just take life one day at a time and remember who it is that called you!!
    Praying for you,
    Aunt Sherry

  2. Thank you Aunt Sherry!
    I just noticed you commented!!! Thank you so much. I appreciate your encouragement very much! I feel so much better about it, I do not even think twice anymore!
    It just took some prayer, and took some time to figure out how to use my free time. I am not used to that much freedom... I used to have to live off a strict schedule! But its a good problem!!
    I am praying for you!!!
