Courage's cousin ... that is adversity. Adversity brings forth an opportunity to display courage. Will you? I believe you ... and we ... can.
I learned a long time ago that adversity is akin to a fire. When it comes, it burns away all that is perishable, and you are left with those things that are truly valuable -- namely, your character.
Put another way, rather than making us adversity reveals who we really are. So ... are you experiencing a little adversity on the way to a particular goal? Injury? Illness? Something even worse? Has some one changed their plans to where you are no longer a part of them, or at least the way you thought you were? Have you discovered that fallible people will let you down ... and maybe, just maybe an umpire will blow a call? I just, but you get the point.
That's life, and life is often unfair. But God is just, and He has a plan. I take comfort and draw strength from this truth when I encounter rough waters. I know God is working out his plan in me.
And He also has His hand on the Mustangs. I am excited to see what He is going to do.
Remember ... everything you may experience today, whether on the field or off, He has undergone in some form or fashion ... and in truth, He has gone through far worse ... and for you. He loves you more than words can say. And He believes in you.
So, get up. Dust off.
Let's roll.
See you on the field,
