MIDLAND, TEXAS - Fastpitch softball is what Charity Butler does, but it's not who she is.

That distinction wasn't always clear to the professional softball player, who said she used to allow the pressure of defining herself by the sport she played take over her enjoyment of her gifts and talents.

"Most the time as competitors, we're pleasers and we want to be winners; we place so much of our work and our self-value in our achievement, our accomplishments," she said.

Butler will share her story at the Midland United Girls Softball complex 6:30 p.m. Wednesday during an evening that will include time for clinics, autographs and fellowship. The event is free and open to the public. There also will be a Q&A session with Butler and a band for musical entertainment. The event is hosted by Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and will be similar to the organization's annual Field of Faith events, according to Lee High School FCA sponsor Ken Marks. Anyone is welcome to attend the event, which is geared toward softball players of all ages.
