- This is such a vulnerable video. If I took too long to edit this video or think about it, I wouldn't be able to post it. There are so many things I wish I would have said, or said in a different way. But, this is raw and real and what I feel like I need to share.

This is amazing! I was watching an older Clint's Reptile video (livestream) where the name of your channel was finally mentioned. I immediately paused that video to find your channel, and I watched this video first. Thank you so much for sharing! I know you're incredibly busy, and aren't uploading new videos, but I still look forward to watching your other videos!
I'm sorry my comment is so long, but I want to share part of my story with you.
I've had a "why not me?" journey as well, but it started out as a "God, are You sure I'm the right person for this?" journey. I wish I had kept a journal about this journey, so I could have more exact dates. I have a personal account, but in February of 2012 I created a Twitter account dedicated to encouraging NFL fans to pray for players & coaches. In September I went to my very first college football game (Mizzou). I was excited, but feeling overwhelmed. I didn't know what to do while waiting for the game to start, but I felt God leading me to pray for both teams, and I continued to pray for the Mizzou Football players. In October (I think) I saw some horrible tweets from angry Mizzou fans about specific Mizzou football players. My heart just couldn't take it, so I started sending tweets to each of them to let them know I was praying for them. There was so much negativity directed toward them that I wanted there to be something that I hoped they would see as positive in their mentions. They were, for the most part, very well received. After a month or so of sending out almost weekly Prayer Tweets, I felt God nudging me to pray for the basketball teams. At the time I was feeling a bit overwhelmed with work and life. I was like, "God, I can't. Even this feels like too much", but a few weeks later I felt Him nudging me again. This time I told Him, "Ok, I'll try when football season is over." A day or so after the last football game of the season He reminded me of what I said. This time I reluctantly said "ok", and started praying & sending Prayer Tweets to the men's basketball team. About a month later I felt God telling me to pray for the women's basketball team, so I did the same thing for them. A few weeks later I felt God telling me to pray for the other Mizzou Athletics teams. I resisted because it just felt like too much (I'm a single mom, and my son was a teenager at the time). Also, during this time I was tweeting from the other account. That account had inspired someone to do something similar for the SEC. I noticed they were sending S/O's to the athletes & coaches who were following them (broken down by school), so I was like "ok, God, I'll pray for these athletes." After doing that for awhile, I felt God once again nudging me to pray for the rest of the athletes, including the Golden Girls & cheerleaders. This time I shrugged, and, much more enthusiastically than the last time, said "ok, God, I'm already praying for all of these athletes, I might as well pray for the rest of them." While not all of my Prayer Tweets were acknowledged, I was quite surprised by how many were. I was still trying to keep up with the one for the NFL teams, but in 2015 I had to give it up. Sometimes I miss it, but I feel it was the right decision. And now I not only pray for Mizzou athletes, but I also pray for the coaching staffs of each team, former athletes, a few random former Mizzou students, and many random athletes & coaches that have absolutely nothing to do with Mizzou. A lot of those random athletes & coaches are/were college wrestlers. A sport that this football fan has absolutely fallen in love with, but that's another story. 😂
Thanks for sharing, Leisha! I relate so much to the feelings that you talked about as a stay-home mom. It was great meeting you today!
I'm only two minutes in and I already just want to give you a massive squeeze. I don't have kids, but I work from home and have had a lot of big changes on the last few years and this really speaks to me. Loads of love to you. Xxx
