I thought my body stole my identity — but in reality, God was using it to replace my identity with His. This is my testimony of how losing the one thing I built my life around became the very thing God used to show me who I really am. After six years of chronic illness slowly stripped away my baseball career, I found myself sitting on a gym floor, gasping for air, frustrated at my body for failing me once again. But a simple observation from a friend changed everything I believed about my weakness. This is a story about identity in Christ, about how God meets you in your lowest moments, and about learning that the thing you're most embarrassed by might be the very thing He uses most.
