Saturday was the WDA Cross Country meet. It was cool and breezy. The perfect day to race.
Brenna had an amazing race! She beat her previous PR by nearly one minute, placing 16th in the WDA! It was so fun to watch her! We are so proud of your hard work and improvement, Brenna-girl!
We also had a blast watching the high school teams. Because we got to know the boys and their families during Jamison's years at CHS, watching them race is super special! It was an extra special day because they won the WDA meet. This has not happened since 1978! The girls team won as well, in part because of the middle school girls who were asked to race with them. The addition of the middle school girls (who we know and love) made that race personal as well. So - it was all in all a superior day, and a nice escape. I am not usually one to find a day of sports action a relaxing break from life, but yesterday it was just that!
Joshua does not love cross country - but he does love climbing trees! Once in a while a race course has some good climbing trees. These pictures were taken in Minot at last week's meet. They were too cute not to post.
Life is a hard balance sometimes. There is much going on that is and should be driving me to my knees. It almost feels wrong to post this "silly little stuff" in the midst of it all, and yet to skip it is to sacrifice the gift that it is. Little stuff matters. Little moments of triumph and laughter are what get us through most days. So, I won't sacrifice the gift that they are; BUT, I will also be praying over the BIG things. I will be giving them over to the Lord many times each day, trusting them to He who is able to do more than we can ask for or imagine.
