Claire is playing in our school's elementary soccer league
and on Saturday mornings we play our games
The team, which is made up of her classmates, has really improved
during the first weeks of the season.
Instead of running in a little blue clump....they are learning to run to space.
Instead of avoiding the ball, they are learning to go to the ball.
Instead of waiting to see what the other team is going to do, they are learning to
be a little aggressive!
Our coaches are wonderful....
a 5th grade Cypress teacher and a beloved Kindergarten teacher's husband
They sure do make it fun for the girls to learn a new game!
And our Claire Bear....she has really enjoyed it!
One things for sure.....she is fast and she is strong.
I took the camera to last Saturday's game and got some good action shots...we have another game this morning.
They get tired out there!!!
The post I don't have margin to write right now is our family's insane schedule.
Achterkirch's Adventures is not just a catchy title....every day
is truly an adventure.
It is amazing we get through most days.
It is by God's grace that we do!
Tired? Yes I am.
Rejoicing? Yes I am.
Delighting in all that God gives us to do.
May we do it ALL unto Him
even soccer and ballet and taikwando and laundry and football and homework and birthday parties and work trips and family relationships and class projects and Bible study and small group and volunteering and rehearsals and tests and meal prep and piano and cleaning house and car maintenance and book reports and church events and lawn work and pet care and grocery shopping and ministry
{deep breath}
God, you have created us for every good work
and granted us gifts beyond measure
and set us in relationships to treasure
and called us to work and play in your kingdom
to make your name great.
We savor your goodness to us. We are busy, but we are rich because of you!
Today is yours, God, every busy crazy bit of it.
Help us to enjoy you this day and delight in your good gifts to us.
Use us in all our activity at home and away from home for your glory.
Help us to be a joyful, thankful, loving, servant minded family!
...and go Little Lady Warriors!
