Thank you for writing your story. What a marvel and a praise to see how God was working in your life to bring you to Himself and never giving up on you. You are an incredible inspiration of the courage, discipline, and dedication it takes to play the game of soccer. On page 223 of your book, I was especially encouraged by your insight of Joshua 1:5. You wrote, "God is my strength and courage. I find that courage and strength because God will never fail or forsake me and is with me wherever I go. The point of this is, I don't find strength or courage through my own resources (i.e., my knowledge, willpower, abilities), but I choose it because I know God is beside me-always. He becomes my strength, my confidence, my courage, and with Him at my side, I can overcome." Then you listed those areas that were on your heart at that time. I want to do whatever God tells me to do with courage knowing He will give me the strength to do it and that He is always with me. Thanks for inspiring me through your book.
