Saturday, Iron Bowl day, I am still thankful to be a Crimson Tide fan. I am thankful that the trash talking no longer bothers me and that I no longer participate in it.
The University of Alabama means more to me than just football. It is the school of my children--1 now, 2 next year and Lord willing, the third in a few years. They love it and I am proud of everything about it.
Thinking about how much I do love watching football and my attitude towards it now, makes me realize how much I have changed in a few short months and continue to grow and change each day.
I've made some tough decisions and have managed to have the will power to stick to them. Not only just "sticking to them" but to actually embrace them as a learning experience and a spiritual journey. It hasn't been easy to go without alcohol or any of the other things I had gotten so used to. But it has brought me so much closer to the Lord and given me such a great new outlook on life.
And for that, I am VERY thankful!
