Sometimes you're looking to play perfect tennis but it's not going to happen all the time and you have to accept it.

I'd have loved to have been a footballer. I was always playing football and I enjoyed it much more than tennis to begin with. It's more fun to play in a team, all the parents are there cheering you on.

Christ will always accept the faith that puts its trust in Him
