I love this so much. 👏
Athletes can get so frustrated during lessons or training when they fail. They begin talking down to themselves, questioning their ability, or expecting every swing, throw, or rep to be perfect.
But failure is part of the process.
We fail. We learn. We make adjustments. We fail better. Eventually, we succeed. And then there’s more work to do, another level to reach, and the cycle continues.
Our walk with God isn’t all that different.
We’re going to stumble. We’re going to get things wrong. There will be seasons when we feel like we should be further along than we are. But God never asked us to grow through our own strength or to achieve some level of perfection.
He asks us to abide.
When we stay close to Christ, He uses the process, the successes and the failures, to teach us, correct us, strengthen us, and make us more like Him.
Failure isn’t a reason to talk down to ourselves or give up. It’s an opportunity to learn, get back up, and keep walking with Him.
There will always be more growing to do. And that’s okay.
The goal isn’t perfection. It’s becoming more like Christ.
“Abide in Me, and I in you.” — John 15:4 🌿

What a blessing it has been to watch Ashlee grow this past year. Not only is she about a foot taller 😆, but she has grown so much mentally and athletically. It’s been a joy to be a small part of her journey.
A special shoutout to our favorite ball boy, Hunter. 🤗
As your family begins this next chapter, you’ll be greatly missed. What an impact your heart has on others! Praying God’s blessings over all He has in store for your family.
(But don’t worry… virtual lessons loading… 😉💚)

What a blessing it was to get to know the Troup High School Softball team as their Huddle Leader at FCA Camp. I’m so thankful for the opportunity to spend the week with these incredible young ladies, and I can’t wait to watch all that God has in store for them this season. Praying they continue to grow in their faith, their leadership, and the gifts He’s given each of them. Excited to cheer them on this year! 👀💛🥎

We want to extend a special thank you to Coach Parker and LaGrange Academy for providing a place for us to hold our camp this summer. Their generosity made it possible for us to continue throughout the week despite the challenges the weather brought our way.
The weather was certainly a major factor this week, but Coach Parker was there every morning, ready to help in any way he could to ensure we were prepared for each day. We are incredibly grateful for his support, hospitality, and willingness to serve our campers and staff. Thank you, Coach Parker and LaGrange Academy, for helping make this week a success!
