Yes, we are in Florida right now!! We are so excited for the girls that they made it to the National Tournament here in Kissimmee, Florida. The Lord has brought together a great group of girls who desire to serve the Lord and just happen to be pretty good at playing soccer! We drove through the night Sunday night to catch a 7:30 am flight out of Chicago. We arrived in Florida Monday afternoon with just a few small delays. The girls changed and then they headed out to the soccer field for a practice.
Today, they had a long practice and therefore I got a little sun! This Wisconsin white girl has not seen sun in a very long time and therefore, I got quite pink! And sad to say, it is quite one sided as the sun was on my right the whole time. Oh well, hopefully it will even out by the end of the week.
Tomorrow the girls play BBC at 2:30 pm EST so if you think about it, please pray for them to be victorious, if that is the Lord's will. Pray that there will be no injuries and that they would do thier best. They are a young team, but I have no doubts that they can pull off a victory. I am excited and nervous all at the same time.
The Lord has already given us several unique opportunities to talk one on one with the girls this week. We care about them so much and love the opportunities to point them back to Christ. We are just simple tools that the Lord has chosen to use in this ministry and we are thankful for it!!

I missed it...how did the game go?? I just go on to check your blog. Hope all is well and that you are doing well!!! What a great opportunity you and Heston have with the soccer girls!
oh! what memories I have of that tournament. I will be thinking of you and praying for discipling opportunites that God will give you. There will only be a few that will remember specific fowls, shots, and penalties. But many who will remember people, the trip, and their experiences both good and bad. May God be glorified!
