Inside Sandora Irvin by Chris Reese
According to Sandora Irvin, “everything in my life played its’ part to get me to who, what and where I needed to be. From this understanding, the “Born With A Purpose” ministry was birthed along with a love and a passion to live out Colossians 3:23-24, which reads: ‘Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men; knowing that from the Lord, you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.'”
The picture above is Born With A Purpose in action. In my eyes, the purpose is probably so intertwined with the word Born that basketball’s logic of the “camp” almost matters not. Meaning, we all can see that Sandora Irvin’s mission, or in fact her Ministry, is for us.
However for her,she works to please God. She serves The Most High. She has no problems telling the world of His Love and Grace. From the trials of her life, the strength in developing herself results in promoting the correct ingredients in becoming a complete woman. Even if it means teaching a nice running floater at the same time.
Womanhood in the eyes, heart and soul of Sandora Irvin takes on a definition that makes us wonder. Her Ministry starts from being Born again, which never ends. You ask if that’s possible; she answers, “When does God take a play off? If he doesn’t, I won’t”.
Anyone can minister to a group of young ladies that wants to be the next Sandora Irvin. They can take this group, dribble the life out of each ball and drum into the heads, hearts and souls of the future of women’s basketball that being great is all that will get you to the next levels of the game.
Without the aid of pure leadership, teaching every young woman the ins and outs of the life that God purposely set forth for you truly defeats the purpose of having a purpose. Nothing without God will stay as nothing. No matter how much you put into it. Which is why Sandora Irving ministers with all pride for God as her tongue.
