Philippians 3:13-14
"Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended;
but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind
and reaching forward to those things which are ahead,
I press toward the GOAL for the prize of the upward call
of God in Christ Jesus. "

This past Saturday, September 6, Natty played her first official soccer game. I was truly a "proud" parent watching my little girl be a little version of her Mommy. I used to be the player running around on the soccer field and so was her Daddy. Now I am her Coach. I have had the privilege this year to be asked to Coach the first U8 Girls Soccer Team with girls from our Church, Calvary Baptist. We are considered an outside team playing with the CESA (Carolina Elite Soccer Academy) League. I hold practices on Wednesday before church for our soccer families who participate. We started practices mid July. These girls have gone from not knowing a thing about soccer, except that it involves kicking a ball, to really looking (at least uniform wise :) ) like a professional soccer team.
Andrew and I both played soccer years ago and we were both the number 5...isn't that kind of a neat thing to pass on to your little ones. Therefore, Natty of course had to carry on the torch and be number 5.
I chose the team name, the Calvary Sweeties, because we truly do have little Sweeties on our team. We have a Lollipop as our mascot. I wasn't able to take a picture of all our team players yet as seen in the slide show above, but I hope to add to the post over the next few weeks of the updated pictures.
As for Natty, she is catching on very quickly to the game, and my little Sweeties are indeed a joy to watch. I love being their Coach.
We did not win our first game, but we won in the aspect of finishing it well. Our soccer theme verse is the one stated above... "...We Press towards the Goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus." My heart's desire is for my little Sweeties to not only play soccer, but to Glorify their Savior, Jesus Christ, while doing it.
