Well it has been over a month since Fall Soccer has ended. It seems so much longer. We did need the break but were so ready to get back into the swing of things for Winter Indoor.
We have been told that all of Caleb's Age group sessions will be on Sundays. BUMMER!! We really contemplated and then.... the Lord continued to speak. This day is set aside for Me, Jennifer. "I know I know Lord but we already bought the shoes and I really don't want him to not be practicing his skills for so long during the winter." Funny how we try to reason with God. I was then reminded about our part as parents in Caleb's Soccer endeavor's. We are there for encouragement and as Christian lights to a dark world around us on the field. We had told the coach from the very beginning that if the games were on Sunday we would not be able to let Caleb participate. As much as it kills me that he is so sad he can't play. How would it look if we suddenly changed our mind now that we know ALL of the sessions are going to be on Sunday? I know the Lord will bless us for this decision and if they can't change it to Saturday for the next session then I guess he gets to wear his indoor soccer shoes a little earlier as school shoes.
I am so thankful for the Voice of the Lord for the gentle leading of the Holy Spirit. I am thankful that my heart and mind are open to it. I know the Lord is blessing our family. I now feel confident that although they may not understand why we won't let him play on a Sunday.... They respect us for it. We too feel better that we did not ignore God's voice. I want to be a light in this dark world and hope that as our children get older they will recognize why we make the decisions we do. GOD IS #1 in our lives.

God bless you for making a hard decision, Jennifer. We had to make one for our kids not too long ago, and though we knew it was right, it was hard to tell the kids "no". Praying for you!
