Day 8

Well today was another long day. We split again but we beat the team we lost to yesterday and lost to the team we beat. Both games were very exciting and I am very happy it is baseball season. I love everything about the game and am so thankful for the opportunity that I have to play it this far into my college career. God has been so faithful and I am learning that with patience he will continue to provide no matter what happens. I have become much better with my attitude on and off the field and I feel like things that used to set me off are becoming less and less of a nuisance. I know that it is mostly just a short term change for now and things could go back but I want this all to continue on. I am dedicated to this cause and will fight for it no matter what is going on in my life because it means that much to me. I am completely exhausted from the day but I know that God working in my life is more important than the sleep I could bet getting right now. Know that when God is working in you, you cannot help but continue to seek after him and tell others what he is doing because it is so motivating and relaxing to know that he is at work and you can see the effects of it. Keep pressing on and allow God to speak to you, do not let anything hinder your spiritual walk and distance you from God. He is the only thing that can be your source and he will give you everything that you need.

Galatians 6:6 states, "Anyone who receives instruction in the word must share all good things with his instructor." I feel like I have many people who instruct me in the word and so this blog is my way of sharing the good things with my instructor(s). My parents have been an integral part of me growing since I have been in college and I could not be more thankful for that. I have had several pastors and professors speak into my life and I have benefitted greatly from that as well. I wish I could go down the list of people who have given me solid biblical instruction but it is not feasible for me to do something like that. I absolutely love that I have older people in my life who look out for me but I know that I also need my peers to look out for me and hold me responsible for the things I do. I am tired of who I have been and I will continue to press on so that I can overcome and show people that God can turn somebody around who has walked a way from him for a little while. I feel like my experiences have allowed me to grow immensely and I am stronger because of it all. The different experiences have enabled me to learn about situations that I can handle and the situations that I do not want to be in again.

Well, it is definitely time for bed. I hope you all had a great day! Please continue to pray for me as I will be praying for all of you.

God Bless,
Joseph Robinson
