Sorry for the interruption of adventures of summer part 2, but I have to share the craziest soccer game I have ever played in!
This past weekend we traveled to Odessa to play UTPB, a team that we have beat before. Well this game definitely didn't go the way we expected. We weren't playing very well and only scored one goal in the first half. We got a talking to during half-time and we had 45 minutes to prove to our coach that we wanted to win.
During this time, I was wondering if I was going to play in goal 2nd half. I asked coach hoping she would say " ya put your gloves on" but instead she said " you might have to put on a jersey and play on the field". Oh, forgot a minor detail: we had 3 girls on the bench who were injured so our bench was very small even before the game started.
So now me, never playing on the field except in the goal, finally had the amazing chance to get to play on the field.
By the time I got out onto the field to play forward, the score was 2-0 us. UTPB ended up scoring to make it 2-1. Fifteen minuted before the game was over, one of our forwards went in for a tackle and suddenly broke her ankle! It happened so fast, and me along with everyone else on the field suddenly saw her ankle not going in the right direction! After the paramedics took her off the field we started up the game again. (we found out she broke her tibia and tore ligaments-she's getting surgery this week) UTPB ended up scoring to tie it up. We scored, and they scored right after. Two minuted before the game ended we scored again! The end score was 4-3! This was definitely the craziest game I've ever played in- and the coolest thing is that the Lord was there by our sides the whole time, He gave us the strength and perseverance to push through adversity! The Lord is good and it is so fun when you give it all to God where He takes you in life! For me, that could be playing forward :)
