CHRIST SHINE

T he softball season is not only a time of hard

practices and tough games, it is a time of spiritual

growth and unity between teammates. The two

most stressed areas are depending on the Lord for the

ability to play the game and keeping your testimony in

the face of adversity. The games are not all “easy win”

games, so it is common for the ladies to become fatigued.

That is when Coach Kris DeWitt steps in and quotes to

the team Isaiah 26:3: “Thou wilt keep him in perfect

peace, whose mind is stayed on thee....” Coach is

constantly reminding the team to keep their minds on

Christ by talking to Him and depending on Him for the

strength to play hard.

Practice, although it is tough, is one of the most

enjoyed times. It is a time for making good friendships

and growing spiritually. It is not abnormal for Coach to

stop practice and ask one of the players what they got out

of their devotions for the day. At the end of each pratice

and before each game they have a verse and a time of

prayer. This is when the team is challenged spiritually, so

that the team’s testimony remains strong when game

time arrives. -Lara Brown
