My Plans vs. God's Plans





I would like to introduce to you Pat Summit. For those that don't know she has the most wins for a college coach in both girls and boys college basketball with over 1000 wins. She is and has been the only coach that the Tennessee Lady Vols have had. (starting there at age 22) You all know that I am a huge basketball fan and when I was younger one thing I had said was, "I would like to be the next Pat Summit." Did I give up on my dreams. Of course not but now my dreams have changed and those are the ones I am pursuing. In the course of the past 5 years God had different plans for my life than the ones I had for myself. This included getting married, having a son, staying at home. The Lord has given me a new passion and that is to be there for my family.
Being a coach takes time and commitment. Right now I am using that time and commitment to be a mommy and wife and I'm having a great time doing it. Do I miss being a coach? Of course I do but I know that if I were to do that right now I would miss something even more and that is precious time with my family. So is coaching in my future? I would love to one day be an elementary PE teacher or possibly a junior high coach. So for now I will stick to God's game plan and be the mommy and wife he has called me to be!
