So this a teaser to a story that I wrote a few years ago. I have never really had the courage to share this story with others, but lately God has been putting it on my heart to share it with my blog readers, so here you go.
It is still in the editing stages since I have been editing the story on and off for the past 3 years.
I would best describe it as a coming of faith/age story.
Sam Miller is not your average athlete for she is tall, strong & powerful not mention very tough, smart, vocal, driven, and extremely headstrong, and one might say that she had everything that one would need to be able to play her sport at the next level. Oh did we mention that she is the only girl on the Northfield High boys hockey team? Sam’s life is going just the way she wanted it too before it was announced that the school was forming a girls hockey team, and that Sam was going to be the face of this new team which causes a sense of excitement to everyone except Sam. As much as she hates the idea of a girls hockey team, she agrees to be a part of the team, mostly so that she can fulfill her own selfish desires and pursue her personal goals even if it means giving up other parts of her life that once meant something to Sam like her faith, rather then care about the goals of the team.
But all that changes when Sam meets:
Holley- a shy & awkward nerd, who also happens to be an elite hockey player
AJ- a mysterious girl who knows a thing or two about playing hockey as well as life.
As well as a few others who turn out to have a impact on Sam’s life
After a rocky start, a bond forms between Sam, Holley and AJ, and from that first meeting to the championship game, we see this bond as it becomes a friendship between the three of them, and it is in part due to this friendship that both Holley and AJ mange to teach Sam some lifelong lessons both on the off the ice, and it’s through what Sam learns in these teachings that help her to see that there is more to life, including what it means to be a better person, and what it means to become “Saved”.
In case there is anybody out there with connections to a movie or TV studio producers who think that with work this might make a good TV movie, let me know cause I think it would be cool to turn this into a movie plus I already have someone in mind to play the head coach (not me). My only requirement is that I have a say in casting since I do have a VERY specific vision for some of the characters.
don’t forget to donate!!!!!!! You are all awesome!!!!!
Til next time your sister in Christ,
