Recap of Tuesday Church Softball...

Like any A/G church in america...Hermitage has softball teams that play other churches around the area. Softball is perfect for middle aged men that attend church every week, its team oriented, you get closer with the guys, and you feel young again when you catch a fly ball in right field. The last comment was me haha. I was so pumped last night, I felt like I was back in pony league when I caught that fly ball and it was incredible. When I was in my teen years I remember I would always get so nervous and have the biggest adrenaline rush you could think of. I'm a really nervous type of a person. Its like hit or miss with me, I can blow people away with what I say or do, and then the next moment I'll completely redeem myself. I guess this is the way God made me, I just hope I don't make other people uncomfortable with how weird I am. I'm glad I'm reading that book "Messy Spirituality" because its all about being "Inconsistent". And no matter how much I try to be consistent constantly, it just doesn't work for me. I don't know if this is a learning experience that i've been going through for the past couple years but I feel like a rookie at everything I do, and I never feel like I'm achieving anything higher.

Anyways, I'm not a depressed person...But I do understand how a person could be "depressed". I mean life is hard and sometimes the ugly parts of life are consistent rather than the "Good". If we didn't have people around us to help counsel us through things, what would be the purpose of our existence as humans? People have experience and they understand things better than us sometimes, and thats the beauty of life, to not have everything put together in our own minds but to talk to others and see what they've been through on their journeys, and maybe what they've encountered could help our own journeys. I constantly try to apply others wisdom and advice into my own life to see what happens and if it helps, thank God for that person He put in my life.
