Sport Is My Passion…

*Before I get into this blog…I just wanted to say that I will be posting a ‘Song of the Day’ at the end of each blog. I love music, and I just want to share what I’m listening to with you guys…

Sport is my passion…

I am realizing this more and more…

I have recently began working at a place that is represented by a Swoosh. I love it. I get to be around sports. I get to be around people that are passionate about sports.

My Element…

Today…I got to be in my element…and I think that I was in God’s too.

I had to go to Allen, TX this morning for a store ‘rookie camp.’ This two day training is all about the ins and outs of the Swoosh and the company as a whole. Very informative. We learned about the history of, not only (“its gotta be”) the shoes, but the company itself. There were videos, interactive exercises, Q & A, and giveaways. This, however, is not why I felt like…maybe…just maybe I was in God’s element.

I got to give one of my managers a ride back to the store in Terrell (what’s up @jamiefoxx?). In that one hour and fifteen minute drive, we talked about everything, it seemed. Then…the topic shifted to Christ…God’s Element. We talked about grace. I told him that God’s grace isn’t a free pass to do whatever we want, but grace is God’s willingness to work with us to pursue change…to pursue forgiveness…to pursue repentance.

I am already beginning to see that God is opening some doors to build relationships through sport. I want to be involved with sports in some level at all times…whether that’s coaching, working at the Swoosh, or being the chaplain of a school, or team. Sport is my passion, and my job in life is to serve the athlete.
