Earlier this weekend, for example, Sunday, I decided on a whim to email the ISU track coach about tryout opportunities for the team. I know, crazy considering it's my senior year and I haven't run track for about, 4 or 5 years, let alone college track. He got back to me on Tuesday and said he'd love for me to run for the team. To make a long story short (because I'm starving and I have a million things to do before life calms down again) I ran around all week filling out paperwork, attending meetings, and today, yes today, running at practice.
I still can't believe it, although I'm sure it will hit me tomorrow when I wake up extremely sore, that I am going to be running for ISU. I'm a track runner again. I'm a athlete again but not only that, I'm a NCAA, Division 1 athlete. Two months ago my life was headed in a totally different direction and I was just running, but today, that plan is something I never would've believed if you'd told me years ago I'd be here. I asked Him to run and now, I'm not just running.
God can do the impossible, the unbelievable and I can't wait to see where he takes my feet.
"Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. 6But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind."
