Maja Chwalinska has changed her life at this year’s Roland Garros.
Her total career earnings before Roland Garros:
$864,030.
What she’s earned at this tournament:
$1,624,000.
Because the players don’t get the money til after the tournament, she was worried she wouldn’t be able to cover her costs for a hotel as she went further and further in the draw.
Polish company OSHEE had to step in and pay for the rest of her hotel fees.
It’s nothing short of heartwarming to see this happening to such a humble person who has overcome her share of struggles.
She overcame a battle with depression and stopped playing tennis entirely for a period to take care of her mental health.
She wasn’t sure if she’d ever come back to this sport.
Absolutely unreal story. 🥹

Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. Matthew 10:29
The one who so loved us that he gave his only Son is the one who now, by the same love, looks after us. Fear not, therefore!

Sorana Cirstea was 19 years old the last time she reached the Roland Garros quarterfinals.
She’s 36 today and she’s back in the quarterfinals.
It’s 2009 again. 🥹

I stand with Katie.
5 incidents in 5 days. I left the court with 2 stitches and a bruised knee. Thankfully, it wasn’t worse.
Do we really have to wait until a player is seriously injured before these courtside boards are removed?
Player safety must come first.

We don’t experience contentment by receiving everything we desire, but by bringing our desire down to the level of what we have already been given by God.
Five psalms for five moments:
Psalm 23: You feel completely alone.
Psalm 46: Everything is falling apart.
Psalm 73: You're struggling with envy.
Psalm 103: You've forgotten how loved you are.
Psalm 139: You wonder if God really knows you.
In all my years of pastoring, I have learned this lesson: a person’s spiritual maturity is not truly visible until they DON’T get their way. Then you see the person.

I can't believe I didn’t have a laptop as a first-year Mass Com student. I remember submitting handwritten essays for our Psychology class and getting perfect marks on them. Part of me wants that culture back, but I definitely don’t want to handwrite any court pleadings. 😂
Quando comecei a universidade, não tinha dinheiro para impressões. Então entreguei o meu primeiro trabalho todo escrito numa folha de almaço.
O professor pegou, fitou, me encarou, olhou novamente pro trabalho e disse "estou emocionado".
