Cedarville Magazine Summer 2017

19 / 30

1 It’s probably 6:50 a.m. and I’m doing a quick
rundown in my head, thinking about what I’m
going to do that day.
2 Heading out the door at 7 a.m. for breakfast. I
keep all my books in there, minus one, so my
backpack is heavy!
3 Walking out of Brock Hall with my roommate,
Ben Luckhof ’19, an international student. His
parents are missionaries in the Philippines. We
usually grab breakfast a couple times a week.
4 I usually have my devotions at breakfast. Right
now, I’m reading Ezekiel. I’ve really been struck
by the paradox of God’s mercy and wrath.
5 On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, I don’t have
class till 1, so I normally catch up or get ahead in
my classes. I study in either the Stevens Student
Center, like I was this day, or the library.
6 I usually sit with the same group in chapel, a mix
of volleyball and baseball players and athletic
trainers. Dr. White spoke that day on letting your
yes be yes, and your no be no. Better to under
promise and over deliver, than over promise and
have to ask for an extension and forgiveness.
7 I have accountability with Adam Southerland,
Resident Director at Brock, once a week at
lunch. He’ll ask how life is going, what I’m
reading in the Word, and how my reading
impacts what I’m doing. I’ll ask him about
issues I’m facing, and he’ll offer scriptural and
personal advice. We go through everything.
8 I met with my Principles of Organization and
Management instructor, Professor John
LeBlanc. My group is doing a presentation,
but we needed to move our time because of a
baseball game. Professor LeBlanc is also my
academic adviser.
9 This is right before batting practice, when I go
into the cage. I work on having a short swing
so I get to the ball quickly. I also work on hitting
the inside of the baseball so I can drive it to the
opposite field or up the middle.
10 I play left field. During practice, we take ground
balls to the middle, left, and right; then Coach
Kip will hit us line drives, and we work on fly
balls. I work on my route to the baseball, being
in a good throwing position once I’ve caught the
ball, and getting behind the ball so I have extra
momentum to throw the ball in with quickness
and authority.
11 After practice we always circle up with Coach
Manes and pray together.
12 Hanging out with Danielle Wolgamot ’18, a
pitcher on the softball team. She’s dating my
friend and teammate Marc Russell ’18. A group
of us study together regularly in the library. The
library is my second home.
