Basketball is a passion of mine. I have loved playing it ever since I can remember. However, once I reached the college level, it got a lot more serious. I started to dedicate quite a bit more time to it than I did in high school. Pretty soon I found myself putting the game before everything else, including my faith. My priorities were definitely out of line. Instead of fitting my schedule around God, I tried finding time to fit God into my busy schedule. Not only that, but I let basketball determine my attitude. My demeanor was based on the outcome of our games or how I played at practices. This went on for almost a year. Then, with a few seconds left during the first game of my sophomore year, I tore my ACL and lateral meniscus in my right knee. My season was over. At first I thought, “Why me?” I was angry and frustrated at myself and God.
