Victory

On Friday Stephen's team had a game that we had to travel over an hour to!  Thankfully Bill came home early from work to stay with the young ones so they would be able to attend home fellowship.  (That is why Bill was unable to come to the game as he leads worship there.)

This was a varsity game that the JVers were invited to.   We did win the game by a lot.  (over 20 runs)  The plus was the JV guys got to play 2 1/2 innings.  That is a great way to build up their skill and their confidence.  Admittedly it did get a little boring but all-in-all it was good exposure.  

Stephen has never played organized ball before so there are some things that he is hesitant about.  It was so nice to see one of the players (our star player) coaching him with hitting!   That alone makes all the driving and hours involved with this league worth it!!!   He was not asked by anyone to do it and he just stepped up and out on his own to mentor Stephen.   That brought a huge smile to my face and warmed my heart more than words can even express.  And warming my heart was a good thing because we were freeeeezing on the sidelines because the wind was wicked!!!!  

It was brutally cold in the stands.  I had 3 layers on and was very cold.   I am ever so thankful that the young ones did not have to come as they would have not enjoyed themselves at all!   Due to the cold and wind I did not even think about taking any photos and for that I am bummed.   But there will be other games to view and capture photos of!  

Go FALCONS!!!!
