Year 15.
After taking some time to reflect, I’ve realized this season was never just about basketball.
Life has a way of reminding you that nothing is promised. Every game, every conversation, every challenge, and every person you cross paths with is a gift we’re often too quick to assume will always be there.
This season taught me to stop chasing what I can’t control and to embrace what God has already placed in front of me. The victories, the disappointments, the pain, and the growth were never separate chapters. They were all part of the same story.
And of course, I’ve learned that peace doesn’t come from getting everything you want. It comes from knowing you gave everything you had and trusting God with the rest.
I’m incredibly proud of our group, from our coaches to every single player. To come together and accomplish what we did is something its something be grateful for. Of course, you always hope for a great ending of the season, but life doesn’t always unfold the way we want it to… and that’s okay.
Because God’s faithfulness isn’t determined by the outcome. His faithfulness is revealed through the journey.
The older I get, the less I measure my life by the seasons I’ve played and the more I measure it by the man God is shaping me to become.
Here’s to gratitude. Here’s to growth. Here’s to embracing every moment we’re given.
And yes… here’s to some good wine. 🍷
Kevin James dropped a powerful reminder about prayer and God.
He said if you look back at all the things you once prayed desperately about, they all got taken care of, maybe not exactly how you wanted, but in a better way. The things that once kept you up at night aren’t even worries anymore.
“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… will guard your hearts and your minds.” - Philippians 4:6-7
