During try-outs I was told you are gonna make varsity and had everyone telling me not to worry about it, well that wasn't true and I was put on the JV team. A lot of people were surprised and I was devastated. But, all that to say it was probably the best thing for me and for sharpening my soccer skills. We scrimmaged Varsity all the time which made me a better player because I had to step up to their skill level. And I played almost the full time in every game, which would not have happened on the Varsity team. <br />Then my senior year I made Varsity and was voted one of the captains so it all played out wonderfully. I pray the same for Caleb!!Lydshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13187911952967050212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176735909708151146.post-58497965194659789022010-09-08T17:32:12.493-07:002010-09-08T17:32:12.493-07:00tis a sad tale...

All kids have sorrows--two of my dear grandsons have had painful times starting with rejection letters this spring. Both are 'second' children following an I-can-do-it-sibling. But as one dad pointed out to soft-hearted grandma, Life does have pains. Important to decide how you want to deal with them. But my heart aches with wishing their dreams would come true, so I empathize, and God watches over them. I'm praying that for all four of our boys and for the team in Bundibugyo/Nyahuka with their challenges. God bless us all. Judy in HMBAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
