sometimes, you just gotta try.

softball just continues to inspire.

ever since i could remember, ever since i was born practically, i have never had an interest in sports. whether if it was the dangerous risks involved, the fear of ball meets face, or just not understanding how something like that could be fun, something always turned me away from sports, may it be basketball, golf, baseball or frisbee.

i'd head to softball practice just to see my friends, and sit on the bleachers while i watched them practice. its only been recently that i actually tried to get onto the field and do a little throw and catching (mainly because i knew it was a nice safe non-judging fun environment). putting on the glove and heading into the uncharted waters with the risk of being hit, i tried it. and to my surprise, i caught the ball a few times, and could give a decent throw. I tried batting and wasn't too shabby (or at least i didn't think i wasn't).

you try things and you realize that you can do it. sometimes we fear it, and we're scared to take that next step into murky waters, afraid of the unknown. why not take on a new experience? same with spiritual gifts. each one of us have a special specific spiritual gift chosen for us by our great God. How do you find out what it is? you try, its all about trial and error. Try different ministries, meet different people, thats the only way you'll discover yourself, your strengths, your weaknesses, your likes and dislikes.

sometimes, you just gotta try.
what haven't you taken a stab at?

verse of the day: 1 Corinthians 12:4-6

⁴ There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. ⁵ There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord.⁶ There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work.
