Have Faith

What is your favorite grand slam tournament of the year? What event in your profession is the biggest in your eyes? Do you see yourself participating in this event? Have faith. Your time is coming shortly. God has the power to command a turning point in every situation of your life.

The US Open is my favorite grand slam tournament in tennis. I usually do not go to the Open even though it’s my favorite grand slam tournament. My reason behind not going is because someday I wish to walk in with a credential pass, my dream team smiling from ear to ear with my Bose Noise Cancellation headphones on walking in to play my first match. I’m excited. I can see it even though I didn’t experience it yet. I know I’m on my way.

Kelly Williford. We are traveling buddies. She is a good friend. She continually said to me we need to go to see the level. I finally gave in. USOpen 2018, here we come. Praise God for Kelly because seeing a few matches assured me I'm on my way.

The experience was great, just as I remembered it. There were a lot of people, long lines, overpriced food, loud grunts, and more.  I looked to my left and right and saw people I once practiced with and played beside in the qualifying round. I saw Calvin Hemery (FRA) Heather Watson (GRB) Gail Browsky (USA) and more. Imagine the person you went to middle school is now a famous producer or a singer? That can very well be you. Your time is coming. What is done in the dark will come to light. Keep pushing. Keep the faith.

What is different between you and the next person? The hunger? The money? The talent? There are many factors to achieving a goal. Having faith is the most important. You deserve to live the royal life. The next producer or writer or singer or NBA player can very well be you. Don't let your now situation dictate later. Don't give up.
