I am constantly humbled by how much God blesses me in different ways at school. Just last night we had a soccer game. This was against the team that I got steamrolled against last time we played them. I had one of my strongest games ever defensively blocking some key shots and passes, not allowing a goal against while I was on the field. While playing solid defense, I also scored a goal off of a beautiful sequence between me and two of my forwards. I ended up all alone to the side of the goal, blasting the ball upstairs on the scrambling keeper. After the game one of the girls on the woman’s soccer team said something that has stuck in my mind. “You have an awesome God-given ability” were the words she spoke. And it’s so true. 2 years ago I wasn’t even remotely interested in soccer. There’s no way that I would be at the level I’m at today without God’s working. The way she said it humbled me in one way since she is an incredible player herself and reminded me that God is working in me beyond just in the intangibles. He’s not only interested in changing my heart and mind; He’s also interested in my physical skills and abilities. I forget that sometimes, but not after last night.
