2 more months and I will be out on my adventure around the world! I couldn't help but think this year during Thanksgiving about how different my life is going to be in a year from now. It is so exciting to think about what God will do in me and through me. The people I will meet, the friends I'll make, the experiences he has planned and the encounters of getting to see him in a new way. It gets me excited thinking that I am just a loved bit player in this divine epic he is creating. The greatest thing is that I already know I am on the winning side.
Anyone who knows me, knows that I love Texas Tech, and no matter who they are playing I am convinced that we are going to win. Obviously, I would never bet my life on a Tech football game because if you have been up to date with Tech Football this season or any season for the last 30 years you would know that it is frustrating being a Red Raider at times. We are so unpredictable and the games we are suppose to lose, we win and those darn games we are suppose to win (cough, cough A&M and Houston) we lose. Going into each game, you can never be 100% sure that we have the game locked up. What if, somehow it could be a fact and proven that Texas Tech was going to win every national championship in every sport, every year? I would think that Tech would have a lot more then just t-shirt fans. What would be the point in routing for another team if you knew for a fact Tech was going to win? Me being the Tech recruiter that I am, I would be all over that! I would be so pumped up and make sure everyone I knew around me would go to school there and get to apart of this national champion power house! I was sitting at the AWESOME Cowboy Stadium last night and I was just thinking about how great it is that my hope is not in Tech football and what I have chosen to put my hope in ultimately wins in the end. It's like I'm on that dream team that wins every national championship. We have a star player...He's our QB, Running Back, Lineman, Reciever, Defensive Back, punter and ball boy all at once, and he is even letting us play a little tight end every once in awhile. I think it's our job to invite the world to join this team and get excited about playing the game. How great is it that no matter how bad you mess up in the game, your team still wins! I've been learning alot this week, and ultimately Texas Tech, John Mayer, and The Office all lose. These are things that I sometimes find myself rooting on their team, but they lose in the end. If we know with all our hearts that in the end, the lamb wins, why not give our devotion, our worship, our lives, our hope to bringing that victory to completion! God has said that every tribe, tongue and nation is going to join together in the end, and I'm pumped to get to apart of that among the nations.
