"Eph 3:20Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,"
Over 36 years ago, my brother and I used to watch Penn State Football highlights every Sunday prior to the 3 Stooges. I dreamed of playing at the highest collegiate level. Sports consumed my heart and soul.
God's sovereignty would allow my father's death to cancer when I was nine.
I would give into temptation at a young age to alcohol and drug use. I was not aware at the time that I was supressing unresolved pain while becoming more of a "Stooge" than pursuing my athletic dreams. God's grace protected me from death on three occassions and Jesus saved me after my brother was killed by a drunk driver.
I wandered in the wilderness for quite sometime. As I gratefully reflect, I thank God for Mike Drass who allowed me to serve the Wolverines and travel with Wesley to Final Four games. Grateful for Coach Lavan also who believed in me and allowed me to serve Delaware State at Ford Field in 2007 and The Big House 2009.
This season God has blessed me with the honor of serving Temple University Football and Coach Golden through the support of one of my mentor's Terry Hill. As our team stands on the brink of a great challege vs Penn State today, God reminded me of his love, faithfulness and the dreams he put in my heart as a young boy. I will be taking the memory of my brother and the dreams of my boys with me today into Beaver Stadium.
God is able to do immeasurably more than we could ask or think through His power.
He writes a beautiful script for our lives. It does not always look the way we thought it would but the promised land may personally come almost 40 years later in some capacity or through our children. Excited to serve and pray for our team today.
Thanking God today for His mighty hand and for my supportive wife!
What are you dreaming about and believing God for?
Make it a great night!
