As I was thinking of what my very first blog should be about I found myself a little lost. Should I write about training camp? Or maybe my new team……… or I could write about what God has been showing me??? My thoughts were interupted by a blog written by Jonathan David Helsner (an amazing singer/songwriter).

I have peace in knowing that when I feel lost or confused in who I am or who I am supposed to be I can say “Daddy, pick me up…… tell me who I am.” His peace comes over me in a blanket of comfort. Comfort that cannot be replaced by worldly things, comfort that cannot be replaced by another’s words, comfort that can only come from my Father in Heaven.

I AM loved!! I AM beautiful in your eyes! I AM uniquely made !
