What I learned today from a 11 year old

This morning I woke up ready to go about my day. I had to go serve with an awesome group of people at a local school.​

We did what we call "Operation Wipe Down" for the school. This is were we go in with Clorox wipes and wipe down everything a student would touch daily like light switches, desk, dry erase markers, keyboards, etc.​

Once that was knocked out, I went home and took a nap before my son's soccer game. ​

It was during this game that I learned something from my 11 year old son. ​

A little bit after half time my son is playing. The game was intense. The other team was up by one. ​

Then out the blue my son takes the hardest shot he has ever taken in the gut with a ball. The kid kicked the ball extremely hard and was just arms width from my son. ​

Everyone on the sideline grasped when the ball hit my son. ​

I was sure my son was going to have to be taken out of the game. ​But nope. 

It took a few seconds but he stayed in the game. And at that moment, I learned that you can take the hardest shot ever and have to stumble around a little while but you can still stay in the game.​

In life, there will be times that you will have to take some shots. And you may have to stumble around a little and things aren't going to look very good for you. But you can stay in the game.​

While all the craziness is going and your stumbling along, you can have peace.​

Isaiah 26:3 says that if you TRUST in the LORD, He will give you peace. ​
