Mia's tennis season started on September 18th. Her first match she played doubles with Maddie. They played a great game!! I'm always a little worried when the playing season begins but she did better than I thought she would. It amazes me how noncompetitive my offspring is. She didn't get an ounce of my competitive spirit. Writing this makes me remember a lesson I taught a few weeks ago, it was how God made us all unique and wonderfully made. What we see and value in our society is winning and appearances. But that's not what God values...he looks at our hearts. If our heart is good then as far as God is concerned who cares what you look like or if you win. I have to constantly remind myself of that. I get so caught up with outward appearances and winning and forget what truly is important. That's what I love my Lord he gently reminds me how I should be thinking rather than making me feel guilty about it.
Getting back to Mia's tennis match...they lost but it was a great match! I told her she needs to be lighter on her feet and not to rely on her partner. She was disappointed in her lost but I was sure she would get over it quicker than I did! ;)I love watching her play, her reach is so long and she is as quick as cheetah. I secretly wish I was as naturally athletic as she is. I hope I don't sound bitter...LOL!
