    Multiple National Championships, best friends, coach Gasso and future husband but her main accoplishment was "the Lord has given me a platform to shine a light that the world tries to dim." Can that statement be topped?

    So amazing to watch these girls winning not only on the field but ultimately in life. Every chance they get they put God first and it has been amazing to watch as they constantly get attacked. The prayer after games, the celebrations, the winning people choose every avenue of attack and they still but God first.

I don't play softball, i play tennis and in a few months will leave to go play college tennis, and i can be reminded that tennis is just something that i do, but I am a child of God, and i pray that i can reach teammates and others who have not heard of Jesus, because no matter the accomplishments that i achieve, matches i win, i cant do any of that without God, and in the end, those things will leave, but I am so glad to be with God forever!
