For those of you who have actually read some of my blogging (sounds so weird but cool at the same time), you may remember the one (the last one, haha) where I was talking about saying yes to God rather than automatically saying no, for comfort's sake...
Well, this one is kind of an extension of that one...
It's amazing when God shows you something in your life, if you truly try to be obedient to His will, how much you become aware of those situations. For me, it's still a struggle but I am recognizing when it occurs and am able to think about what God may be trying to tell me...
Don't get me wrong, ok? A lot of people, when they start thinking about God asking them to do something, automatically jump ship because they think that every time He is going to ask them to become a missionary in India or a pastor in Alabama (haha) or something else. For some, this is the case but not for all. Many times, God works in the smallest of things, the everyday things of life!!!
Now, back to the story...
I was hanging out with a friend (aka., Bob, the B.O.B., Bobby B, Bloom Daddy, etc.) watching football and playing nerf football with his one year old (I got a couple of black eyes, jk!). He begins to tell me that he was going to be coaching the middle school fastpitch team and proceeds to ask me if I would help....I'll give you one guess as to what my first thought was!!! If you haven't figured it out yet, they were: "But I don't have time", "We will have basketball starting soon", "I HAVE NEVER DONE IT BEFORE!!!!" Wow! Those were my thoughts! I wanted to say no so bad!
Well, we started practice yesterday and I was introduced as Coach McCall, assistant coach! I have to say, I had fun! I mean, it was amazing! Doing something I love and helping others along the way....
Now, fastpitch is a whole new thing for me. I have plenty of baseball and slowpitch experience (it's pretty much second nature) but I'm figuring out that the basics of the game are pretty much the same. I am really looking forward to what this season holds and who knows, if I had said no, like I wanted to, I could have missed out on something big...
Again, don't be afraid to test the waters a little bit. Our call to follow Jesus is one that is constantly challenging us to step out of our comfort zones in order for Him to work in our lives so that He can work through our lives, all for His glory! Don't miss the opportunity!
Have a blessed day!
