Dang, this one hurts! Words won’t ever be enough! 

When committing to Lipscomb as a high schooler, I had no clue the impact this program would have on me. I’ve learned what a privilege it is to do hard things, laughed harder than I ever thought possible, and have gained life-long friends. Thank you to every person along the journey, from my family, to my coaches, to my teammates, and to my God, thank you for it all. You guys are why I play. Thank you volleyball for being unsatisfying. It pointed me to my Savior time and time again. 
I’m reminded of this quote that says “When you can let go of the idols of athletics, relationships, fame, wealth, intellect, success, beauty, and career: you can actually enjoy them for what they are. You don’t expect salvation or redemption from them. You don’t crush them with expectations or demand they serve your every whim. You instead see them as gifts, as privileges, as an honor gifted to you by God to be respected and cherished.” 
Playing collegiate volleyball for Lipscomb has been one of the greatest privileges of my life. These girls, this staff, and this school have been one of my sweetest gifts. To 8th grade Addi who was told D1 volleyball just wasn’t for her, turns out it was, and dreams really do come true💛

let me know what to do with my free time in the comments, I’ve got a lot of it now!! #nonathleteeeee
