I'll do both of us a favor and not recap the past 3 months. Quite frankly, I don't remember it anyway. Ha!
However, there is something that has been life changing and I will dive deeper in another post. A few weeks before Christmas we had one of our pastors and a few others in our amazing church lay hands on Jet. We are believing that God is going to heal him. Pastor Linda said to be watching for his healing to take place. One of the first areas that has been healed is his gluten intolerance. That's right... Jet has been eating Gluten for a couple of months now. You have no idea how huge this is for our family. It's beyond words.
Let's talk about today.
Jet and Will both had their first soccer games. And it was such a bittersweet afternoon. Will did awesome, of course. He had a tremendous amount of fun and we all had a lot of fun cheering him on from the side lines.
Jet's practices have been difficult on so many levels. Once again, too deep to go there this very minute.
I knew the game would be hard for him because he's NEVER been in that type of situation. The coach and I had a discussion about what I thought the first game would like for Jet and I honestly told him that I had no idea because this was so new for him.
He was terrified. He didn't know what to do. He was crying. He was confused. It was awful and heartbreaking to say the very least. Will tried telling him he'd do okay. Anabella was bringing him his water bottle to try to make his tears go away. And then finally, God showed His Grace once again. The coach from the opposite team said "come on in with him." Thank you so very much coach that I don't know. You made a very difficult situation bearable. I didn't want to go in with him, so I sent my first born in with him.
I can not put into words how proud of Will I was. He held his hand and took him up and down the field. He showed restraint in not kicking the ball when it landed right in front of him but encouraged his brother to kick the ball. He let go of his hand to give him independence when he found it necessary, but took it back when his brother wasn't sure which direction to go.
Will showed a tremendous depth of character today. He saved the day!!! I love you Will.
Confident of His Goodness,
Lela

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing! That is so awesome about Jet's healing! We are celebrating the healing He's done in Benjamin recently as well. I believe He has more healing in store for both of our boys!
