You can do all things through Christ who Strengthens you!

Well, about a week ago I was in one of my group tennis classes, and we all had partners we were playing against. I was playing very well at first but then things started to go DOWN HILL! My opponent was CrUsHiNg me. I started to completely give up. That is one of my biggest problems with tennis. After my opponent is ahead of me I start to give up. That is probably one of the worst problems to have if you are a tennis player. Your opponent is most likely going to be ahead of you a few times during the game. Well anyway it was getting to the point where I was ACTUALLY missing the ball with my racquet. Yep, it was bad trust me. Anyway I am running around to the other side of the court when my coach stops me and says, "Sloan what are you doing??!!" I said I CAN'T HIT IT!!!! He said "Yes you can, you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you!" I immediatley was powered up and ready to let my racquet do the talking. :o) I came back and was awesome. The point of my story is sometimes I give up too easily, not just with tennis. Every time I feel like I'm about to give up I think about what my coach said to me that day. Don't give up people! YOU CAN DO ALL THE THROUGH CHRIST WHO STERNGTHENS YOU!!!
