unconventional

I love being married to a coach. There are a few hard aspects of it, but I feel pretty honored that, at least for now, God has called us to this life. There are some pretty cool things about it, but you know what the very very best part of it is? It’s our guys.

It is meeting these young, athletic, rough-around-the-edges, sometimes cocky/sometimes insecure, good looking boys and growing to love them. It’s figuring out what strengths God gave them and watching how He changes them through this really great game. It’s accepting their failures and yelling your lungs out when an umpire mistreats them. It’s them giving you a hug & recognizing when you’ve busted your butt for them. It’s them cracking up over how crazy (& embarrassing) you are…instead of making fun of you. It’s getting a phone call, text or e-mail every now & then…with an update on their lives or just simply checking in. It’s them showing up and showing out because they want to please their coach. It’s when they show courage & do something no one else would. It’s when they hold their heads high, walk humbly, give God the glory, proudly win & lose…when they say something that INSPIRES you to live better.

I love being married to a coach because I love baseball players!
