Through many years, I've been focusing on the pitch and the outcome of whether or not I actually hit the ball to make it on base. I've realized that it's more about watching the movements the pitcher makes to throw each particular pitch. Will she curve her wrist, smack her glove to scare me, or throw a ball? If I can see what she does as she throws each pitch, I can be better be prepared for that brief moment when the ball reaches the batter's box. The outcome is now the result of my observances and my reaction to each of the pitcher's movement. I'm in control and I choose how I want the game to end.

Prayer after prayer, you help me deal with everything.  I’m not sure I’m ready for the many tests you have in store for me.  I beg no, but must understand.  Just give me the time to revisit the person that I once doubted.  I can’t have another taken away without one last word.  Give my family the strength as we struggle through the tough times.  I pray that he have strength, forgiveness, love, and a full recovery.  Sometimes people are blinded by the past and they forget to love always.  I understand the test, please don’t give it to me now.
