Let's Play Ball

 

As the opening ceremonies for baseball approach this weekend, our family is in full swing with activities. I need to pause and catch my breath. Lately, many have asked me how I manage to juggle everything, and the honest truth is that I can't say for sure. The real answer is that I have faith, knowing that God supports me through it all.

It's amusing to find myself juggling my work schedule while also squeezing in baseball practice. Once again, I'm adjusting my days to keep everything balanced. I attend college on Mondays and Wednesdays, which is great since those are usually my days off. However, with baseball now part of the equation, I've started working Monday evenings and picking up some simple haircuts on Wednesdays. Meanwhile, Tuesday and Thursday evenings are dedicated to my son's baseball practice.

I was uncertain about how I would manage to find balance once the game day schedule was released and how I would handle everything. However, I truly believe again God made a way for me.

Philippians 4:6-7

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

I find joy in the fact that I received the baseball schedule, as it seems like a divine intervention. It is overwhelming to schedule everything perfectly, feeling like I was running around aimlessly. Thankfully, the schedule has returned my Mondays to a more manageable routine, allowing me to enjoy a day off with a baseball game to look forward to. I truly appreciate this change, and it feels like God noticed my struggles. A big shoutout to the person who created the game day schedule—you are amazing and talented!

Mondays and Fridays are typically game days, with the occasional Thursday evening thrown in. I truly believe that God understands my need for this routine; His faithfulness is unwavering. I've often prayed for the strength to be a loving wife, to be fully present for my children, and to manage my business while returning to college. I have many responsibilities and wear numerous hats, but God knows when I need to take a step back, clear my mind, and simply be myself.

I can't wait to see my son take the field for baseball. His face lights up every time he steps onto the diamond, and it fills my heart with joy to witness his happiness. I would gladly rearrange my schedule any day just to experience that moment. Praying for a fantastic opening week to all the baseball families out there. Let’s play some ball!
