Opening Day 2009

Today was Opening Day of Baseball 2009 in our little town and it was such a fun fun day~~They really went all out and had all the teams and their coaches dress in their uniforms and all were called out to the field and announced.. They had the Mayor and even Miss Magnolia come to the ceremony! Of course all those little boys from the age of 4 to 15 were all in awe of her:)I tried to get Phillip to take a picture with her but he threatened to kill me if I even suggested it in front of her.. lol) I love embarrassing my boys...They have 65 teams in this league so you can imagine the crowd of parents and Grandparents and Aunts and Uncles, it was the place to be today...I tell you when we moved here the end of June one of my constant prayers was and still is that God would just make us all feel like we are a part of this community and not only that but, that he would just use us in this community to Glorify him! We were so involved in St Louis in the schools and in our church and in the baseball organization so it has been hard to come to a place where no one knows you and you don't know them.. we have really jumped in feet first in all we can and have really met some precious people and have made some wonderful friends.. Today I do not know what more I could ask for... here we are at opening day and here are both my boys laughing and talking to their new friends both of them healthy and in ball uniforms, here is my husband surrounded by people who tell me that they think the world of him and how happy they are that he is board member of the league now and they are all out on this ball field being announced and then they ask for the first pitch to be thrown out and it was a little boy who threw it who will be 4 tomorrow our youngest player and they picked Phillip to catch it for him.. WOW!! How AWESOME is GOD?? I could not have asked for me and my family to feel more part of a community than we were today! So when you pray you better be sure it is something you really want to happen because he will make it happen if it is the true desire of your heart so Thank you Lord for hearing me and answering my desires:) Thank you for making me and my family a part of your day today by reading our blog!! Have a great day!!
