Get a GAME PLAN



Expect the unexpected. Sometimes you have to look at life in terms of a sports game if you like football, basketball, baseball, golf, hockey, gambling whatever sport you like look at your life like that and break it down. 

My parents both love basketball. My dad is a Shaquille O'Neil fan so he likes anything Shaquille likes and my mom is a LeBron James fan so she likes any team he plays for. When they hand me it really was the fourth quarter of their life. they were both past 35. They have both been married before and had children in those marriages. They both have been to college and graduated and started in their careers. So when I came about yes they were what they thought was the fourth quarter of their life I guess they said this is the longest quarter ever. Lol. Little did they know that was really the first quarter of their first game in the seven game championship. They had no idea what life was going to entail for them but they had to prepare through prayer for every second of the game they were about to take on. 

Having a disABLED child is not only a life changing thing. it is something you have to literally prepare yourself for every single day. You cannot keep the same game plan when you are dealing with different things. For them there blueprint to the game plan was always simple. it required prayer hard work dedication a team of doctors and therapists their family their commitment to themselves a commitment to each other and their commitment to all their children. But every day they had to come up with a different game plan to make sure the day ran smoothly. 

When they realized what the winning game plan blue print was going to be they were able to go through life easily. Not because life was easy for them but because they had came up with a easy to do gameplan. So of course they started winning, beating down all opponents in the form of obstacles that people are not used too. When things didn't go the way they knew to always pray first then contact via team of doctors and family members. 

For me and my ex we love football. Our favorite team is the New Orleans Saints. even though he decided to play in a football scrimmage game football doesn't have that many games and the season is not long enough, so I choose to look at my life in the form of a baseball season because they have so many games and so many series to get through to actually win a championship. When I had Trinity I honestly was really in the first game ever of my life. Yes she is I was the 2nd child and yes Jermany was three years old when we had Trinity however I did not have to do anything for Jermany because Jeremy came out the womb independent. Lol. Seriously that child was talking to at a-month-old crawling at three walking before nine she was eating table food before she even with eating cereal in a bottle. 

Since I had never played a game before I didn't even really know how to communicate anything about the situation to my ex husband and as a result we played two different games on two different teams with two different goals getting much different results. 

Once I came up with a good game plan I was able to successfully create winning results and now I am learning how to approach each game for the season in a much different way. 

Life is really no joke. And if you do not prepare yourself you could get lost in the trials in tribulations of every day activities. Always have a game plan set out for you so that you can literally tackle the day and win the game. 

Giving birth to a disABLED child IS NOT a game. dealing with life issues is NOT a game. it is something you have to take as serious as you take breathing. once you create a plan that will make sure you succeed don't look in no other direction but the scoring place.
