I thought I knew where my softball career was going… until God completely changed the plan.
This picture was taken during my first two years playing at Seward County Community College as a Saint on the front page of the news paper.
Little did I know that between my sophomore and junior year of college, while I was headed to continue to play ball at Easter New Mexico University, while@completing my college career, I would almost die.
And from that moment on, everything changed.
The plans I had for my softball career changed.
The plans I had for my future changed.
Honestly, my entire perspective on life changed.
But looking back, I’m reminded of what the Bible says:
“For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.” — 2 Timothy 1:7
In order to reach your success, you have to be willing to fail.
But sometimes what feels like failure isn’t failure at all.
Sometimes it’s God redirecting you.
Little did I know that I would only reach part of the success I had planned for myself. But God already knew.
He knew what was coming.
He knew what I would face.
He knew what would change.
And He knew exactly where He was leading me.
Whatever I had planned—and whatever I have planned for myself—will always be secondary to God’s plan for my life.
I may not always understand it in the moment.
But I can trust Him.
Don’t let fear of failure keep you from stepping into what God has planned for you.
