Reaching Beyond Comfort
Face it, we all have them.  Comfort Zones!

Recently, I embarked on a new journey in my life.  It is one that I have dreamed of often, yet much to afraid to step out of my little comfort zone and try.  Thanks to a few friends' encouraging words, and the wish and prayers of my beloved daughter I am now a coach for softball.

It is a dream I've always had.  Growing up, I always had the best coaches.  I had coaches that wanted to win, but more importantly, they wanted us to have fun and learn the fundamentals of ball.  I am so thankful that I have the opportunity, and God given strength to reach out of my comfort zone, and be a coach to 11 girls.  It's truly an amazing experience.

I've enjoyed every mistake made.  Its an chance for me to help them become better as a team.  I've enjoyed every hit, every walk, every stolen base, and every win. I find that I look forward to working with them at practice, and guiding them during the games.  I look forward to a great season ahead!

It really is a challenge, to keep 11 kids on the same page for 1 1/2 hours.  I'm not a teacher, and I have NO idea how school teachers do it. 

So today I am reminded of one of my favorite scriptures:
 

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Phillipians 4:13

I can, and have stepped further than I thought I could.  I entered into one of my dreams. I thank God for allowing it to become a reality.  God is so good.

God is totally awesome and great. He will take care of us if we but let Him.

I'm glad you stepped out of your comfort zone to work with the girls on this team. I know you'll have lots of fun. I used to many moons ago.

Enjoy!
