Shoutout to Coach Prather, a true leader in the game! One of just two female football coaches in Texas, she's not only a mentor and friend but also an exceptional coach breaking barriers on the field. #WomenInFootball#Trailblazer#CoachPrather 🏈🌟 @sprather62
Sad. God gets the glory on the good and bad days. His promises and plans are always better than our human comprehension. We could have nothing on this earth, but if we have Christ we are fully satisfied. He’s already given the greatest blessing we could ever have. 🫶🏼
“But those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength and renew their power; they will lift up their wings [and rise up close to God] like eagles [rising toward the sun]; they will run and not become weary, they will walk and not grow tired” -Isaiah 40:31
Being in a healthy relationship truly taught me there’s no such thing as “that's just the way I am”. When you genuinely love a person, you work on those toxic traits, you learn to communicate, you actively listen to each others thoughts and feelings – you grow and heal together.
We tend to listen to what people say, but the real communication is how they behave. Behavior gives us insight on what language does not. Don't listen to what people tell you, witness their actions. They'll speak volumes.
Maturity is understanding why someone behaves the way they do, while also understanding we're not responsible for what people have gone through in their past. If someone is hurtful or abusive, it's not our job to try to fix them. It's theirs.
