It's a process... growing... developing confidence... having courage to change, to step outside one's comfort zone... a life-long process.
My husband & I got up this morning at 7 o'clock. Yes! And on a Saturday morning. WHY did we do such a awful, unthinkable thing? Because we drove from Rocklin to Isleton to watch our 9 year old grandson, Will, play basketball. It took us over an hour to drive the distance... the game lasted less than an hour. Will played in center position... made some key baskets... needed reminding to stay in the paint but nevertheless, showed promise with his blocking technique... amazing growth in his ability to focus and concentrate. It was extremely interesting to watch... I was very proud of him!
Will is developing confidence and skills. At this stage, he is not aware of his potential. It becomes clear during the process of living. As long as he has the courage to risk failure or success... to test his strength and skills no matter how uncomfortable. And for Will and others his age, the basketball court is the classroom to learn the lessons to aide him in playing the game of life... team spirit... courage... taking risk... being the best he can be.
Living life becomes the game.
What an awesome... what an exciting time for Will!
