Evan Mackenzie Peters

 “I’ve always considered myself to be tremendously blessed. I have a wonderful family with wonderful friends. Most of all, I know I’m blessed because I get to wake up each and every morning knowing there is a God that loves me and gives me a chance to get to know him every day. Ever since I was about three years old, I have been playing the game of baseball. I have developed into a pretty good player. I have no doubt in my mind that I would not be the person or the player that I am now without God in my life. My favorite bible verse is Philippians 4:13. This says, “I can do everything through him who gives me strength.” Anybody who has ever played baseball knows that baseball is a game of ups and downs. Something can be going great one moment and with a blink of an eye, it can all go downhill. When things do go downhill, I always think about this verse. No matter what life brings me on and off the field, I know that I can do anything through my God. My God is an amazing God and I am truly blessed to be able to serve someone as awesome as him.”
