200 Feet of Light – Trusting What You Can’t See

200 Feet of Light – Trusting What You Can’t See

Sometimes life doesn’t show you the whole road.

You only get 200 feet of light at a time—like the headlights in the dark.

But that’s often all you need.

Just enough to take the next right step.

As summertime arrives and Bella Love’s bowling season shifts into high gear, Barbi and I have to trust by faith that we’re guiding her in the right direction. We don’t have the whole picture. We can’t see exactly where this road leads. What we can do is coach her through life with what we do know—through faith, daily devotion, and example.

The World Series of PBA Junior Bowling is approaching. Team USA Camp is on the horizon. Then comes Junior Gold Nationals. It’s a packed summer of opportunities, competition, and growth. And yet, we can only walk her to the edge of each moment and trust that the next step will be lit.

Like headlights in the dark, our job isn’t to see the full road—it’s to show her how to walk with courage and purpose into the light she can see.

And when people watch Bella Love bowl, I hope what they see isn’t just talent or skill. I hope they see someone who knows where her gift comes from. Someone who sharpens what God has given her. Someone who gives the glory back.

Because the greatest story Bella Love will ever tell won’t be just strikes and titles.

It will be that she walked with God through the fog

and trusted the next step—

even when she couldn’t see the whole road.
