You're Killin' Me Smalls

 

There is nothing in the world anymore precious in the world than watching a child play a sport with an innocent heart. Before our world and our parenting gets in the midst of their eyes, this is where athletes are crazy. Do not get me wrong, I absolutely love competition, and pushing my oldest child each day. But watching this little guy play in the dirt when strikes are repeating, turn is hat backwards while screaming that he looks like squints, or waving from second base. 

Man... just leave me here in this ball game life.

There are days when we wonder why certain things are taking place, and what the greater good of heartache could even be coming from. But on Saturday, June 3 while Charli Beth was away at an overnight camp she was saved and most things started to make sense. She called me as she was leaving that afternoon, and her heart was still tender as I've ever noticed. 

While we are worrying, fretting and letting our lives whirl us around we forget the image of how each life is being a message to little eyes who are watching. I cannot even express into words how happy Charli Beth's news made me on that beautiful Saturday afternoon. To see her grow in Christ over the past few years, has been a blessing. Listening to her give her heart out to God in praying has been heart warming. We are blessed to be able to continue to watch her grow in Christ. 

I cannot express how thankful my heart is for the families that have prayed from Charli since she was born, during this hard year and at different times. We are blessed with two church families that have continued to surround us with love, prayers and guidance. 

What a wonderful day with even better news to share.
