If only perseverence came in pill form......Amber

Awwww....look at the poor little plant pushing past the cement; acutally it kinda makes me want to stomp on it! Haha just kidding. Speaking of stomping...I had my first night of College basketball ID camps. I was sooo nervous; mainly because I haven't played organized girls basketball in like four years. I've only been playing in men's casual leagues (nothing serious at all). The first thing I noticed was how much smaller the ball was! I could palm the ball (see Evan I do have man hands!)

But all excuses aside, I had a horrible practice. And it ended with a girl stepping on my foot and rolling her ankle badly. I know it wasn't my fault, but I felt SO bad! The coach spent a lot of time telling me how off my shot was and it was just really awkward playing with girls. SUCH a different game and I'm so undiscipined!

BUT! I realized something! That I usually suck hardcore at anything I start. Like how I got cut from the soccer team in high school but the next year I came back and became captian. Or on one of my first nights of being a youth leader, I gave a girl a bleeding nose; and the second night I forgot three kids at a church! Now that I'm thinking about it, the stories seem kinda countless! I think anything that I've ever completed or achieved has usually started off with me bombing. So I'm sitting back and thinking, "okay...now I know what to do; it's time for the comeback!" But it just involves everything outside of my comfort zone! Perseverance is crazy in a way that you don't always get your favorite ending no matter how hard you work....but that's the adventure part.
