Where I need to be

I don't think that I can express my love of college football enough. I really don't even know where to begin! There is something about it! It does something to me. There is nothing like a Saturday afternoon in September. The excitement, the love, the heart! To me it's something that every other sport doesn't have. Which is why when my dad text me with this proposition I couldn't refuse.




Early this morning my dad picked me up and took me to Jackson, MI to help with a football camp was being held. To most this may not be exciting but I couldn't wait to stand on the field and watch my dad in action. As I walked down the sideline it hit me that this is where I needed to be. I had no complaints the whole day actually I kind of felt at peace the whole day. I loved the sound of the whistles, watching the drills, I just loved it all. I honestly can't do anything else with my life!! I have to coach college football!! There is just nothing like it! And I hope to one day continue the tradition.



Now granted I wasn't at a college football camp it was one for younger kids. But the thing is this is where it all begins. These young men that can barely keep their balance make a decision at a camp like this that they are going to one day run out onto a field just like some of the all time greats! The sweat on this field is foundation for the heart they leave on the college field.

After Bible Study last night something hit me; that I have the tendency to be apathetic about things that happen to me in life. I'm willing to just see what happens. Which at times can be a good thing but I have come to realize it hasn't been working for me. There are some things that I need to be more proactive about: 1. My relationship with God. See it's not just enough that I am saved. There is way more to being connected to God then going to church one day a week and telling people that I'm a Christian. While I'm not going to be perfect there are numerous things that I can be doing to strengthen and expand my faith. Beginning with what I do at home. I have always thought that it was possible to just read the Bible once maybe twice a week, pray when I was need of something and everything be OK. This I have come to realize is not true. In order to have the relationship with God that I desire I need to be in constant communication with the Lord. And this has to sta...

#RoadToCandidacy

The moment you've all been waiting for, or maybe not, either way it's here!! As of today at 7:44 am my Qualifying Exams are underway!! That's right, for the next 2 months I will be on locked down writing at least 60 pages in response to 3 questions. Send me snacks, love, luck, motivation, and things to do for fun times (because baby girl will need a break)! Hopefully my depression and anxiety are willing to work with me. With that I am off to get started on Question #1! #RoadToCandidacy

RIP

Yesterday, I found that my Aunt Lou (my grandmother's sister) passed. This is my first time dealing with the of someone so close to me. When my sisters and I spent summers in Detroit we spent a majority of our time with her. It has been hard for me to deal with mostly because my grandmother has lost both of her younger sisters. The only thing I can think of is that my grandmother being the oldest is going to be gone soon as well.
