Will it ever end??

The WEATHER, that is!! Unbelievable! I've never seen weather like this....I've been on this earth for 26 1/2 years, and I've NEVER seen anything like it. Sunny and 60 one day, cloudy and 33 the next. Weeks upon weeks of sub freezing temperatures in a place that usually get 2-3 days of arctic weather a year! And they say global warming is in full effect! Psssh! I think Al Gore got us all on that one!!

Baseball Season is HERE!

Technically, last week was the first week we played, but I'm not going to count last Monday's game vs Erskine as our season opener....more like a scrimmage. Playing the best offensive team in NCAA D2 baseball with 6 freshman starters isn't the recipe for a perfect opening day.
We jump right into it this week with 6 games. Monday, we play Bluefield College, Tuesday we play Anderson University, and Friday and Saturday we play Montreat College. Hopefully we can come together and play some solid, Warrior baseball. One thing this team has to work on is getting tougher. We are a soft team right now, but I think we've got some seniors who are stepping up to help solve that problem.
I'm anxious to see how how team responds this week. Hopefully the weather will cooperate and give us a chance to play. I'm sick and tired of this bad weather!

Say it ain't so

To say this past year has been a wild ride would be a vast understatement. From losing my job, to a disappointing SWU baseball season in '09, to finishing one game short again at Daniel, to losing my girlfriend of a year, things have definitely not gone as my plan would have them. Fortunately my plan isn't what's running my life though, and everything that's happened is a part of God's plan. I'm still trying to find out exactly what that plan is, but I no doubt know it's there.
That's one thing I really really struggle with.....fully and truly trusting God's plan. I'm a gold personality...I like my structure and I like to be in control. When I'm not in control, I feel out of control! I've had absolutely no control over the things that have happened over the past 12 months, and at times it has driven me crazy.
This time a year ago, I thought I had it all planned out. I had my dream job, I had the girl of my dreams, I had a plan for the future.....fast forward 12 months. I'm working at a golf course making $8/hour and the girl bolted on me.....hardly what I had planned or what I would have wished for! I think I've done a pretty good job of holding it together, although the breakup did bring out a side of me I haven't seen in a LONG time (being madly in love has a tendecy to do that to you), but I think me "holding it together" has held me back from letting God do some work in me. I've tried so hard to seem like I had everything under control, to not appeared phased or anything by all that has happened, that I think I've limited what I'm allowing God to do with me. My goal now is to "let go" a little bit....to let God do work with me, in me, and through me. This is going to be hard for me, because I'm a control person.....but I'm pretty sure God's a little more capable of running things than I am!
