When God closes one door, another opens.
Heather finished her Little League season under a cloud of cancellations and the door closed for All-Stars. We've had a great season there and have made some new friends to go with some long standing friends. Her first trophy came out of that experience and she enjoyed it.
The ending left her hungry. The last four games cancelled by weather, circumstances and another league's choices. She just wasn't ready to quit. The game was done with her.
The St. Joseph County Surge have opened a new door.
I made contact with the organization last week. We were at practice last night. She is more than capable, this fact was already known. Would she fit in?
The answer is yes. She liked being on a field, playing ball. She liked making plays and taking some cuts. Most of all, she liked the other girls. Heather has always had an easy time making friends. She felt like part of the group right away, and that is what sold her.
Can I watch this team from the stands? No. Looks like I'm going to help coach. Having spent last night on the field with them, it's going to be a teaching assignment. I like to teach, and I think this group will learn. It will be fun.
Extra dose of patience required. Check. Teaching glasses on. Check. Learning a whole new group of names. We'll get there.
So...am I off base?
