Seasons: Flu & Baseball

It's rainy today in Southern California. And along with the rain...came the FLU. I thankfully haven't caught it (yet) but Daniel has been up all night tossing and turning, with chills, fever and throwing up. My poor husband. He doesn't get sick too often, but when he does it hits him hard. Hopefully he can rest up today and get back to his normal self in no time.

 It has been a very busy month for us so far. Daniel continues to work hard and prepare for the upcoming baseball season. We still can't believe it's almost that time again when we pack up our lives in our car and I squeeze as much of my clothing as possible into spacebags (those things are genius!).

We are so excited for what the Lord has in store for us this next baseball season and are thankful for the opportunity Daniel has to do what he loves another year. Usually around this time of year, before we head out, I start to get filled with alot of anxiety. The thoughts of where we'll end up, who will go where, etc start to flood my mind. I see the way I have allowed the enemy in this area of my life to fill my heart with fear and uncertainty. Which ultimately allows me to take my eyes off Jesus. I have decided that I am no longer going to allow the enemy to have victory over this area in my life. The Lord has shown me that His ways are HIGHER and BETTER then my own! And although we have no idea what the future holds for Daniel and his career in baseball, God knows and ONLY He is in control. I find such a peace knowing that He is in control.

Isaiah 41: 10 "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

We are defined by Christ, not by baseball. More then anything, we want to live in His will and be used for HIS GLORY;not our own. I am excited going into this next season being refreshed and reminded that it's not about us, but about Jesus! With all the uncertainties this career can bring, our stability is in the Lord! Hallelujah!
