Finding of True Purpose Through the Love of Softball
Despite my health problems, God has given me a life-changing opportunity to continue to play softball in spite of having severe exercise and heat-induced asthma. I am thankful that God has allowed my heart to be open to so many opportunities to share the gospel and great news of Christ with all people, especially through playing the sport I love, softball. I believe that God has blessed me with the ability to play softball because He wanted me to lead others With a heart of generosity, love, and mercy. I firmly believe that God has allowed me to be the “Team Captain” of my softball team. In order to encourage my teammates and to be a catalyst in strengthening their relationships wrth Christ.
This position has played a key role in my high school career as a softball player, and I have actively encouraged praying before games, despite recent public school regulations not allowing student-led prayer. As team captain. l have become a bold leader for Christ and have stepped out of my comfort zone. I have been compelled by Christ to become a leader and positive activist for His benefit and glory. Every time I step up to bat, I pray that God will use my athletic abilities in such a way that will lead others to know love and follow Jesus Christ. Over the past 6 years that l have played on my high school softball team, I have confidence that God has used me as a representative of His kingdom by leading my teammates with a heart of kindness, encouragement, and compassion.
As an upcoming college student, my relationship wrth Christ has been personally strengthened by the Christian foundation and values that I have been reared upon. God has allowed my love for Him to continuously grow. l have a passion for sharing the gospel with underprivileged children in diverse communities and love to use any opportunity given to me to share my faith. With others I love to use my voice and singing talent to glorify the Lord onstage and in other venues within my community, Also, I have acquired a strong desire to teach children Christ’s love for them. My ultimate enjoyment is shining a light for Christ by leading my softball team With a heart of compassion and leadership for each individual.
