These past few months have been a whirl wind to say the least. I'd like to say that Scott and I put all of our faith and trust in the Lord for his plan in our lives. Sometimes, especially in Scott's line of work, it can be a little hard and a little scary. What most people don't know about the NFL is that players can be cut at any time, regardless of a contract, and are just one injury away from not having a job anymore. At the end of August we were thinking that the NFL was over, we were making plans to settle down, job hunt, house hunt. However, God had other plans for us. Now that I look back at that night in New Jersey when I was in tears wondering what the future would bring, I marvel at the many AMAZING blessings that God has given us in our life. We thought the NFL was over. Yes we felt blessed to have had 3 great years in the NFL, but a little sad that Scott never truly got a shot on a team. It is so awesome to see God's plan unfold, and see how we are not the ones in control. We thought it was over, God knew it wasn't. He opened the door for us in Dallas, He put Scott on a team with amazing coaches and players, He gave Scott the opportunity and skills needed to start for the Dallas Cowboys, He is using Scott's skills on the field to glorify God off of the field. I will end this little post with scripture that I have comes to live by and holds true in our lives.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7
