She was surrounded by a small group of friends all huddled near her locker. Even from a distance, I could tell that something was up. As I got closer, I saw her clutching something in her hand. When our eyes connected, she smiled widely, broke through the group of friends, and shoved the paper in my face. I knew quickly what all the excitement and emotion was about. This young woman, whom I had the pleasure of coaching from a very young age, had just received a full-ride basketball scholarship! There is nothing quite like being rewarded and chosen to do something that you’re passionate about.

It’s important to remember that God has chosen us from the beginning and has uniquely gifted us each with our own spiritual blessings. Our task is to continue to open ourselves to discover those spiritual blessings, because God has chosen us to make God known through sharing those blessings with others.
