What kind of pressure are we putting on our kids? I would like to say I was getting better as that sports mom. I’ve came along way from those beginning days…my heart rate stayed down most games and I kept my mouth shut for the most part…but then I seen the desire leaving my girl..

She had a shoulder injury two years ago playing softball..but never healed. She kept going through the pain because at the end of the day that’s what mom and dad wanted..for her to play. ..until a few days ago I said Addie do you even want to play anymore..as tears came down she answered with what I knew all along when I seen that passion leave months ago. No. I said it’s ok.

On the inside I felt a loss a death … this has been a big part of our lives for many years and now at 15 she is done. My heart was broke for her and for me and her dad that ran endlessly. I looked at her and said Addie do you have peace? She said yes.

I knew right then I had to trust God with the rest. I want to encourage anyone else out there going through the same thing..it’s really going to be ok. We are three days in so it’s still fresh but I see God’s grace in all that’s left.
