This is more of a frustration vent than a blog, but, oh well. Have you ever felt like you don't know why you're doing something. Like you feel so utterly pathetic and worthless that your embarassment never ends? You feel you could easily do better, but it just isn't happening?
Welcome to my life playing soccer. I love watching people who actually have skill and really enjoy playing, and I wish I could help the team out more. (Especially when I'm given the awesome opportunity to play forward, and I completely waste it!)
Well, that's when I smile and laugh at myself because I realize I forgot my eternal perspective. For pete's sake, (And don't ask me who Pete is... I don't know!) the only reason I can walk and think and breathe and do ANYTHING is because of God! I should be thankful and realize that NO, I'm absolutely not going to be the best or even just remotely good at everything. It just means I have to play my best... whether that means using mad skills on the field or cheering crazily with a British accent.
Well, whether or not I play well, God is good! And praise be to Him for giving us the wonderful soccer players we have on our team, starters or not!
Thanks for listening!

Amen sista! God is so good. But Natalie, I don't think you're talented, keep playin like you said to the best of your ability and for God, and man, God is so happy, and so are those watching. (And yes, I've seen you play, don't ask me when)
But, I know who "Pete" is. He's the guy who invented the "rock 'em sock 'em robots".
Sweet! You'll have to introduce me sometime so I can give good 'ol Pete some pointers on how to properly design toys and/or robots!
Wow... I think my kid brudder just said that he "doesn't think you're talented..." Wow, kramer... take it easy man...
But Natalie, I appreciate the post... you've restored my sanity this morning... I forgot that we're not supposed to be the best at everything... hmm... that explains a lot. Thanks for the reminder, Sister.
Oh, and by the way, you're not fat, you're not ugly, and... well, I dunno... you might poke you're eye out... I dunno... but hey, if it causes you to stumble...
:)
You people take things too literally! The fat and ugly thing is a joke that Kim and Esther started. Ian, Dave, and I have also picked up on it too, so if ya hear it again... it's not serious! :)
