Passionately Devoted.

today my cross country coach showed me something that is crucial to anything you might be devoted to. she showed me her passion for the sport and the passion she has for making my teammates and I great runners. last night my coach got some news that on some of our routes we run people are calling and complaining to the school that we aren't being safe. the school's solution to this problem is having us stay close to school thus running around the practice football field. to some of you reading this doesn't seem to pose much of a problem but to a runner this is almost torturous. my coach understands that running laps around the football field will do nothing for the team and will make her seem like a bad coach when we lose all the time. my coach is so passionate about running and making us better she was in tears at the thought of us doing laps around the football field, upset that no one takes cross country seriously, and angry that we aren't getting te respect we deserve even though we are busting our butts to be the best we can. my coach is so devoted to this sport that I would bet anything that at this very moment she is thinking of new routes. my coach is passionate, devoted, whole-hearted, and all in about running. what are you devoted to? what would you do for something you were passionate about? what lights a fire in you? my challenge: be a coach t. don't back down from serving God with all your heart because you face some adversity. be passionately devoted.
