Cinderella story

My word for me this year is TRANSFORMED. My mission statement this year is "I want to be transformed by God for God". So when we were playing these last two games I kept thinking "Am I living a transformed life"? Two times over two days I lost my transformation and was condemned by the Holy Spirit, I prayed for forgiveness and received it.
So during the game when Nathan went up to hit I was praying, and when others went to hit as well I was praying. Some will say God does not care about sports, but I have to disagree. God cares about a mother on her knees praying for her kids team, and He did amazing things.
So here is how our last game went. I personally think Nathan is a natural at it but... I am his mother. Mike happens to coach his team as well so a little bias to say the least. Anyway, So we were playing in a single game elimination tournament these past two days. We were seeded in last place, cause we had not won a game all season long. So no parent or coach I think really expected this to happen. Out of no where it was like a switch turned on in our boys and we WON!!! So we had to play again last night as we moved up the bracket. Well it was a well fought game but in the end we lost by one run. I mean it was down to the last inning us up by one 2 outs, three coach pitch throws inn and BAM the kids nailed the ball and score the other team.
I heard this idea from a christian radio station. And I want to encourage you guys to think of a mission statement for your life this year. What would it be? What is the one word that will be about you? Mine transformed, came to immediately no hesitation, no second guessing, just BAM!!! WHAT'S YOURS GOING TO BE??
