Incredible

Oh my goodness. We had our first game for the varsity girls season tonight and we won! 56-23 against McClain. I'll tell you what though, our pregame room was flying with nervousness. Everyone, besides the middle school girls who play up, was nervous. Butterflies in the stomach kind of nervous/anxious.
     Honestly, I was a little anxious myself. It was a pretty different team from last year and we didn't have one of our posts.I told a couple of my friends (teammates) that I was a little anxious, but I didn't let it show come game time. I didn't because I'm a leader on that team and if I was anxious, some people's anxieties would have shot way up. Had to stay cool, collective, and encourage. But inside I was going through every scenario that could happen.
     We did our run-through and warm up and as soon as I got the ball back in my hand, it was go time. It felt so good to be back on the court. And honestly, I was super excited to be playing basketball with my Lil sis, Hannah Stalnaker, again. Been since middleschool.
     It was first tip of the game and once everything set into place we were ready. Our defense was a little sloppy and so was our offense. Hello! we've had like 6 practices...that's it. We still have a lot to go. But, we pulled it out. I won't go into great detail because that would take. FOREVER. Just know, it was a good game. We're 1-0. Everyone on the team scored (when does that ever happen?) (it was awesome!) I hit two 3's adding up to 14 pts all together along with another teammate who had 14 :D
     I love my team, let's stay together through out the season. For His Glory! & #35.
Fearless,
Thanks.

But What if You're Single and.... Happy?

Image
I've been sent a few reels over the last couple months talking about singleness and the different feelings around it. One said that people will talk about 4 major relationship categories,  1. Married and happy 2. Married and unhappy 3. Single and happy 4. Single and unhappy And how one of the categories is talked about the least... can you guess which one?  It's #3: Single and Happy.  I've not done the research, so maybe that discounts all of what I'm saying or about to say, but as someone who routinely checkmarks the single box, my life and experiences are the research. Why is it that so few people talk about what it looks like to be single and happy? In my observation, it's because there often is one goal and one goal alone to strive for: "get married, have kids". And if those things are not happening then how could one possibly be fulfilled, whole, happy, or thriving? A good question.  But what if I told you there was something else? That single people ...

Awaiting the Holy Night - Mary's Perspective

Image
I wrote this post back in December 18, 2022 and never published it but with Christmas around the corner and joining my family in reading a chapter of Luke a day to celebrated Advent, I decided to circle back around to it. I know it may be taboo to read into how a Biblical character might have felt or what they might have thought, but adding personification to the people that we read so much about felt like an exciting venture. And besides that, The Chosen TV series came out around that time and it brought so many characters to life... giving them thoughts, feelings, and emotions so I felt that maybe I was in the clear (I mean, now anytime I read Jesus's words in Scripture, I hear Jonathan Roumie's voice). Below is my mind's rendering of how I imagined Mary (and Joseph) felt and what they might have thought the days leading up to and the night of Christ's birth.  --- What do you mean, I'm pregnant? Pregnant... at 15... with the coming Messiah?! I can't show my a...

Grief - It's Okay

Image
Grief. How does someone wrestle with the wounds it leaves?  It's a fog that covers a valley. It's a g-force against our lungs like we're on one of those carnival rides that spins so fast, you're pinned to a wall. It's a cloud that specifically rains on you when everything and everyone else is basking in sunshine. It's a numbness that can feel like an emotional void. And like a spinning record, it plays over and over again. Grief comes in all shapes and sizes from all sorts of occasions. There could be a seasonal grief due to weather changes and the days getting darker earlier after sunshine and late nights and warmth kissed you all summer. There's the grief of change: you move, you start a job / job ends, a bad grade occurs, your body isn't doing things the way it used to, and injury changes the course of what you thought life would look like. Then there's the relational grief. This is the one that surrounds you when you lose a relationship, when the...
