42 years ago today, my life changed forever.
Just before my senior year football season, I fell asleep driving at the wheel, the car ended up in a ditch, and because of that car accident, I missed a crucial part of my season.
Football was my way out, my way up. I'd spent years working for this. I saw the moment I bought my mother a house. I envisioned myself as the local hometown hero turned pro. Suddenly, all of it was slipping away.
I thought my life was over because football was my life and Jesus was just a game. But I realized I had it inverted, that actually, Jesus was my life, and football was just a game.
I ended up earning a small football scholarship at Presbyterian College. I was at a Fellowship of Christian Athletes meeting when I realized my love for Christ.
As a kid raised in poverty, in a single-parent household, I always wanted a father's acceptance. I always wanted to be defined by my family lineage. And what I found in my faith was I was adopted into the Family. If I wanted to know more about my Father, I could read His good book called the Bible, and I could discover all that He said about me. But more importantly, all that He said about himself and all that He is.
I thought that car accident took away the thing that most defined me, the thing I most loved. But instead, it opened my eyes to what is truly important, a deeper connection with our Heavenly Father.
@jtedscott We had some good times with Ray!! I remember he didn’t believe that Corbin was playing with you. He told Corbin “man I’m gonna have to sneak a pic with him!” Such a phenomenal man ❤️
@acaseofthegolf1@JaredWolfepro Caddied for my husband, Corbin, some last year. Absolutely incredible human. So heartbreaking to hear. When q school came around Corbin said I want one guy and it’s Ray Scott! 💔💔💔
Haven’t tweeted in quite some time….but nothing like landing in Utah for the @mondayq to realize it’s the next Monday………. It’s been a nice day hanging out in @delta lounges… thanks for the hospitality
