God's plan beats our plan, anyday

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't been on in a long time! So as some of you know, I play competitive volleyball (club, school). So August 2nd, we started tryouts for our school JV team and I wanted to make it SO bad with all of my heart. I'm a setter, and they already had two from last year, plus a freshman they were looking at. I was pretty sure we'd all make it since we were all pretty good. So I was shocked when I didn't. I was devastated. I cried for an hour after I found out. The other 3 setters made it, and I was offered the manager job. I accepted it...so I get to do every single thing the team does, except play. I was so jealous of the team at our first few practices, especially when they got their jerseys..

I was mad at God, because I wanted to be playing on the team SO BAD. But guess what? God's plan beats ours EVERYDAY. No matter how bad we want something, it's God's decision, and we have to go with it. I'm still not exactly sure why He didn't want me to play school volleyball this year, whether it was so I could observe and get better that way, so I could get a better attitude, or just so I can be of service to the team and coaches. (This is a good time for me to try out Shane's bracelet challenge!) But now I'm learning to accept my disappointment and know it was for the better. I love all of you and miss you dearly.

With love, Kelly:P
