Friday marked the end of an era……..Ok maybe that’s a tiny bit dramatic!! Friday was Carlos’ last soccer game in the 6-8 age division. I’ll never forget the first game that Carlos played! He’s English skills were still lacking and he took EVERYTHING very literally. His coach gave him instructions and must have said something like, “Carlos I want you to play here.” Carlos planted his feet in that exact spot and did not move. Even if the ball came within a few feet of him…..he just stood in “the spot” where his coach told him to play. I, being a bad mama, stood on the sidelines and laughed until tears were pouring down my face! And trust me when I say this, Carlos no longer stands in the same spot! Just watching him run up and down the field makes me tired!

For you, O God, have tested us; you have tried us as silver is tried. You brought us into the net; you laid a crushing burden on our backs; you let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water; yet you have brought us out to a place of abundance. Come and hear, all you who fear God, and I will tell what he has done for my soul. Psalm 66:10-12, 16Favorite Verse for 2013
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea. Psalm 46:1-2-
