Life..

This post isn't for my class but  just because i want to...
As a softball player every time I got up to bat I always had the idea of what i wanted to do and how i was going to do it. I would have the perfect pitch and then a perfect hit that would give me a homerun. Every softball players dreams that every time they stepped up to bat that this would happen, but we never really take into account a curve ball. The same thing with life. We all have an idea of how our lives will be. We have everything planned and ready to go. Everything seems to be going great in the game when we step up to bat but then a curve ball is thrown. We know that we can still hit the ball, but we wont get a homerun off of it and we will have to be a little slower going around the bases. Something in life happens and it changes how fast we can accomplish the things we want to. We know that we can accomplish them, but it is going to take more time. There's always a chance that you will be thrown out at one of the bases and it scares you. In life there are always the times when you think you'll mess up and your not ready and that there is no way to make it through. In softball you turn to the coach to tell you what to do and you put your trust in him to make it so you will get home safely. In life you turn to the Lord and put your complete trust in him that you will be able to do what he is telling you to do. It is scary because you can't see the end results yet but you know that they will be the best results you could ever hope for. Even though it was a curve ball you know that there is always a chance to make it home when you swing instead of standing and striking out. In life that curve ball comes and it is always better to act in faith then not to act at all. Life may be harder for a little while but it will be worth it. It can be hard to put yourself out there off the bag but if you don't you cant make it to second. If we don't put our faith out there to be tested how will it grow? It can be scary but I know that we can do it, even through all the pickles. The Lord will help us get through the scary times in life. I know that I can trust the Lord and that it is always better to trust in his will then your own. His is so much better, even if we cant see it at the time, it is! I know that by putting my faith in the Lord know, I will be blessed.
