“I have full contentment and faith that God is totally sovereign, and no matter how I write my own plan, He’s going to do what’s best for me to make me more like Christ.... No matter how I do in my sport, I know it’s perfect because of the promises and hope He has given me.”

Some cool quotes from Phil Humber (Chicago White Sox pitcher) -

"I didn’t have that peace because I wasn’t looking in the right place for it. I wasn’t resting in the fact that God has my best interest in heart because I’m a child of his."

"For so long, I was trying to make it about me. I was going to make it happen because of how hard I was working. ... But because of the road I took, I couldn’t deny the fact that it was God doing it, that God had a plan."

"[Phil says that] every time he walks off the mound, he prays that God would be glorified: 'As Christians, that’s really our mission. Wherever we’re at, whatever we’re doing, that God will be glorified in what we’re doing. And he can be glorified in our low moments or in our best moments.' "

Tim Tebow, Jeremy Lin, Phil Humber, wow, lots of public giving-credit-to Jesus Christ from the sports world this year!  May it increase yet more... and from all spheres of society...

"There is so much temptation to hold on to my career even more now... To try to micromanage and dictate every little aspect. But that's not how I want to do things anymore. I'm thinking about how can I trust God more? How can I surrender more?"

-- Jeremy Lin
