GOD is in Control

Of all the challenges that Liz has faced on the basketball court, this is the one that her heart and committment just won't be able to conquer.

Physical pain was quickly overshadowed by the reality that a complete tear of her ACL means she may have played her final game of High School basketball. For Liz, basketball wasn't a hobby or an extra-curricular school activity - it was her world. Since last season, she has spent countless hours in the gym honing her chops by shooting 100, sometimes 200 made shots a day at each end of the floor. It wasn't a part-time thing, she was totally committed to training and preparation to make her Senior season one to remember. Not only for herself, but for her teammates.

As a parent, I hurt for her. But I know that nothing happens without it first going before the throne for God's approval and that He is in total control. Although it is of little comfort to her right now, I know that this injury is the beginning of something wonderful that God is working on for either Liz, the team, or both.
