Kendra and Keen had their first soccer practice this week. They were really excited about it and had a good time.
Kendra is the only girl on a 15 player team. It's interesting watching how kids react differently to the opposite gender. While Kendra used pink shoe strings, a pony tail and sweaty competition, Heidi, on the other hand, did her hair, put on a cute jean skirt and showed up at the practice with Freddie on a leash.
Keen was having trouble walking, so we prayed for his foot that night. They've been hurting for some time now, and it seemed to be getting worse. I was afraid he might have a bone spur or something serious like that. The next day we went shopping for soccer cleats and I think the Lord answered our prayer. I found that the shoes Keen had been given from his cousin were 2 sizes too big. No wonder his feet were sore; the arch was hitting him in the wrong place. We bought him new shoes that fit.
Heidi made an interesting observation at church this morning. She had put a lot of effort getting ready and perfecting her look, and she did look good, nice hair, cute shoes, fun bag, trendy note book. She was happening. Then she realized that her bag said, "not listening" across the side, and her notebook said, "blah" boldly on the front. She decided that they might not be conveying the best message for church. I was impressed that she reached her realizations without my coaching.
