A friend told me the other day, "it only takes one thing". God only needs to break one thing through, open one door; the rest is waiting time. There needs to be no lead-up time, no warning, just poof - He's arranged something and there it is. And He did.
On the weekend I had a small faith crisis; I was growing in dissatisfaction and distrust of all the things God has promised to me; I wanted to actually hold one and not have words, I wanted to see Him do something in my life. I wanted him to reveal just one thing, open just one door, to show me Himself.
I was talking to someone I haven't seen in a long time last weekend. They asked, "are you playing soccer?" Of course I said no, but I've been playing squash, swimming, snowboarding... anything except soccer. But it made me think, I think about soccer a lot, I sometimes have dreams about playing soccer again, why don't I? So sometime in the week I emailed Calgary Women's Soccer Association to find out more information for the summer season. They responded and told me to submit my player profile on the website so a coach can get ahold of me. I closed it without doing anything... until Sunday night in the middle of my distrust.
Less than 24 hours later I was playing in a game at the Calgary Soccer Center.
God is crazy.
He opened my door.
A coach called me around noon yesterday and after talking a bit, asked if I wanted to come try out with them that night at an exhibition game. I was hesitant because it was so sudden, but the phrase, "it only takes one thing" kept running through my head. And there was no way I could deny this one thing.
So I went. And 4 goals and 1 assist out of the team's 6 last night, I am getting signed onto their team in time to play the last two games of the indoor season with them, as well as all summer.
It seems so strange, so fast. But it was that one door. A day ago I wasn't hardly thinking that playing soccer again so soon. And now I'm on a team.
I am blessed. God has answered my prayers huge. And after tons and tons of waiting and crying and praying, it only took one thing.
