Coaching Mom

I have three precious girls who all love to play sports. We started with soccer at 4 years old for each one and the older two have progressively picked up basketball and volleyball. It's hard to balance three girls and multiple sports. But this is what they love, so this is what we do.

About the time my baby became old enough for soccer, my middle girl became old enough for volleyball. The thought began to enter my head, "Maybe I could coach her..." and the rest is history.

I do believe God's hand was in this. And anyone who knows me from my childhood would tell you that God's grace is the only way I've become involved with sports! I wish I could say that coaching is my ministry, but more and more I'm believing it's God's ministry to me.

It's hard. And challenging. And frustrating. And rewarding. And fun. I'm learning a lot about myself - some things I would rather not know (or let others see). But I take comfort in the fact that God's doing His work in me. And maybe, just maybe, by God's grace, I am offering a little to those He's placed in my care...
