We're back! Yes, we are still alive despite our lack of blogging. It has now been over a month since my last entry- that last entry being a very exciting one for us! In my last blog, I was ecstatic to announce that Daniel was heading home to California to finish the baseball season with the Mavericks. That's a call up we've been waiting for and anticipating for awhile now, so it was so exciting to see him in a Maverick uniform again (he played there for awhile in 2008); more then that though it was just exciting to have my husband home again. It was a very fun last few weeks of baseball for us. Thank you to all of you who came out to support and cheer Daniel on those last games. The last game was particularly exciting for us because Daniel hit his 10th homerun of the season (Praise God!).
The baseball season is now over and we are so thankful and blown away by God's grace this 2010 season. It was very fruitful both on and off the field and we finally made it through an entire season with no broken bones!! We did face two stints on the DL, but nothing major. The 2008 and 2009 seasons were pretty tough going through the injuries we went through. These athletes can face an extreme amount of pressure at times and to see Daniel's drive and perseverance through the diversities he's faced so far in baseball makes me so beyond proud! I believe God has a plan for our lives and I believe He has special plans for Daniel in baseball. But more than anything, I want us to always live in the will of our Lord. It's easy to lose track of our priorities when thinking of baseball. Of course we would love to reach the goal of making the big leagues someday and I believe my husband has the ability to get there. But I don't want us to ever lose sight that all we do is for the glory of our God; not for our own glory. His timing is perfect and He places us where He wants, when He wants. I constantly find me needing to remind myself that the organization Daniel plays for is not in control, but God is! He has the ultimate say on our life and in where baseball takes us. Being in this career has challenged our faith on many levels, but I praise God for the lessons we have learned so far and are still learning.
It is nice to be back home again close to family and friends. First chance we got, Daniel wanted to hit the beach so we did and he loved it! We're enjoying the offseason and are looking forward to relax and slow down for the next 5 months. I'll try to blog along the way. Big shoutout to all our Clinton friends and family too- we miss you guys and are so thankful for your support and encouragement this year!
