Dear softball,
Where do I even begin… I always knew this day would come... I just never knew it would feel like losing a part of my heart I don’t get back.
I don’t think I will ever be ready to let you go. You’ve been a part of me for as long as I can remember... not just something I did, but something that shaped who I am. And now that it’s over, it feels like I’m leaving a piece of myself behind on that field.
You were never just a game to me. You were where I went when life didn’t make sense. You were where I felt closest to who I truly am. You held so many of my happiest moments... and honestly, some of my hardest ones too.
However, God was there through it all. He used this game to shape me, humble me, grow me, and remind me where my identity truly is. Even when I didn’t understand His plan, He was writing a story bigger than softball.
@acu_softball I don’t even know how to put these four years into words. You gave me a family that I will spend the rest of my life thanking God for. You gave me friendships that became sisters, memories that still don’t feel real, and a love that runs so deep it physically hurts to walk away.
To my teammates- there’s no way to explain what you mean to me. You were my everyday, my safe place, my people. I’m going to miss the little things the most... the locker room laughs, the bus rides, the feeling of stepping on the field together knowing we had each other no matter what.
To my family- thank you for carrying me to this moment. For every early morning, every long drive, every tear, every prayer you prayed over me when I didn’t even have the words myself. You let me live out this dream, and I will never stop being grateful for that.
I know this isn’t the end of my story... it’s just the end of this chapter. And even though I don’t understand why it has to end, I trust that God does.
So thank you, softball…for everything you gave me, everything you took from me, and everything you taught me. by @e.marie.21

Thank you ACU.

4 years later, I’m all packed up and have officially left abilene. It is crazy to think about how much this place ended up meaning to me. If you would’ve told 18 year old E that ACU would become such a huge part of who I am, I never would’ve believed you.

I am leaving with my master’s degree, memories I will carry forever, friendships that became family, and experiences that shaped me in ways I can’t even explain. I got to play the sport I love, somehow run an entire business (still insane), and grow up a lot in these last 4 years.

I am just really thankful for this place and everyone in it. ACU will always feel like a home away from home. 🤍 taken in Abilene Christian University by @e.marie.21

I do not even have the right words for this weekend… truly something I will cherish forever. Feeling so loved and celebrated on senior day meant everything to me, but getting to baptize my sweet friend and watch her choose Jesus… nothing will ever top that. My heart is SO full! God showed up in the most beautiful way, and I am forever thankful for these moments. 🤍 by @e.marie.21

Just wrapped up my last preseason ever! Crazy how something that once felt so far away is suddenly here. The early mornings, the pain, the pressure, the joy, the memories… every moment has shaped this journey and the person I have become. I am just incredibly grateful and thanking God for the opportunity to live out a dream I once only prayed for. Truly beyond blessed for every second of it! 🩷
