Day 32

Long days just seem to be routine for me now and I do not think they are even worth noting because they happen so frequently. I was up at six this morning to finish a paper and then I had class at 8 followed immediately by leaving for a baseball trip about three hours away. We played a doubleheader and lost both but I was able to pitch in both games and I really enjoyed it. My time on the mound today was peaceful and I found myself having fun while going after hitters and not being afraid of what they were going to do. Although we had a rough day, I had a good time playing the one game I love and I cannot wait to head to practice tomorrow and then play again on Thursday. My wrist is still not one hundred percent but I feel that it is getting there and I know God is going to do something miraculous so that I can finish off this season and possibly play over the summer. God has given me such a great ability and opportunity to play this game and I more than likely only have a few years left so I am going to make the most of every time I am out on the field. My sister comes into town tomorrow and I am extremely excited for that. She is pretty much my best friend and we are going to have a blast together. I hope she can get a glimpse of what I have been up to this semester and help me where I may need some fine tuning. The semester is coming to a close and things are getting busy with classes and all but I need to just continue to stick it out and allow for my time management to take over and I need to remain diligent when getting homework done so that I am not completely overwhelmed as the assignment due dates start to pile on.

Throughout this whole time I need to continue to keep my eyes fixed on God and not become too tired to spend time with him. His time is precious to me and if I can make time for Him then I will be abel to make time for other things. I always make excuses for not having enough time to do certain things but in reality I am just not putting forth the effort to get those things done efficiently so that I can do more. Psalm 27:14 states, "Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord." I am still waiting for God to do something amazing but I know that He is at work. It might be another couple of weeks or even months but He is attempting to transform me and it is time for me to allow for that to happen. Patience is key even though I am trying to break free from certain things. I need to show that I have matured in my decision making and then God will be able to slowly trust me with more and more and I will eventually feel like the next thing that God hands me cannot come slow enough. I will need to be Spiritually rich and not allow for anything to hinder me or dry me out in a spiritual sense. Some nights I feel like I have nothing to talk about and I feel like that is because I am not as connected with God and I need to be better about that in that I need to spend MORE time with God outside of just my blog and then I will have words of wisdom on a daily basis that benefits many different people. As long as I am in the Word and allowing God to use me, then I am perfectly happy with where I am at from an evangelistic standpoint. It is up to me to expand and whether or not I do that could leave very little can be a problem and I know that God is working in, around, and outside of us and all it takes is dedication to this single, common goal and success will take care of it self.

Thank you all for reading, I hope you all had a good day. One again, I just need prayer for my wrist as I need it to get to 100% as soon as possible because it is very difficult to be successful on the field and in life it general. If you need prayer, just ask and I will be happy to provide it foe you.

God Bless,
Joseph Robinson
