My flight from Bellingham International into Oakland will leave here in about 6 hours, so sadly, this is the end of the bullpen blog :/ well at least for now. It has been an interesting summer, full of memories and good people. Going away to college and then going away for 2 more months of summer, I learned a lot about myself. I think they say that you learn a lot about yourself and gain a lot of knowledge and wisdom when you step away from your comfort zone, and being 20 hours from home, I am definitely away from that comfort zone. It is an experience that I will never forgot, nor ever regret. The journey wasn't always smooth, but it seemed that God never put me in a situation that I couldn't handle, which is what scripture tells us in 1 Corinthians 10:13. So not just for you baseball players or athletes alike, but for everyone out there, my advice: never be afraid to try a new experience. Now I don't mean to abandon your morals and do something crazy like fleeing the country with stolen goods, but if an opportunity knocks, and you are unsure about it, go for it. Leave your comfort zone and TITL, Trust In The Lord. There is an old saying that goes, "you can never get to second base without taking your foot off of first." So next time an opportunity is there to get to that second base in your life, go for the steal. Love you guys.
