3 days, 13 games, a whole buncha bruises, and a few blisters later, I realize just how tough you gotta be to play basketball. We really don't get enough credit. I am sleep deprived, and I feel like I just ran a marathon. Who knows how many miles we've all ran these past few days.
I realized something about myself these past 3 days.
I like to hurt people.
And that makes it all the harder to be a Christian on the court.
If you elbow me, you can expect another elbow coming back in your face. Because if I get yelled at because you do something to me and for some dumb reason the ref calls a foul on me, you can sure be ready for the same to happen to you. But I don't WANT to hurt people. it just.. COMES OUT! :( I never knew I had it in me! But all of us have been shoved, knocked to the ground, elbowed, and even had the wind knocked outta us a few too many times. Seriously, if someone touches me, beware, I might explode or a limb might go flying your way at this point.
:)
The suffering won't last forever. It won't be long before this generous God who has great plans for us in Christ-eternal and glorious plans they are-will have you put together and on your feet for good. He gets the last word; yes, He does. - 1 Peter 5:10&11
