“There are no accidents in the Kingdom of God and God doesn’t waste experiences.” These are quotes I live by. No, there is no accident that now as a former failed athlete, saved by Jesus, I get to share the love that God showed me with so many coaches and athletes, who are just like me. There are no accidents in the Kingdom, The King makes no mistakes.”
