a great ending!...

Last saturday was our big day for our cheerleaders...they have been working on their routine for months now and saturday was when they got to perform it in front of everyone (homecoming)... they did awesome...we had been working on some fairly difficult stunts that i was a bit nervous about, but they pulled it off and did AWESOME! i was so proud! one of the parents called me later that nite and said a lady saw her West Creek shirt and asked her if she was west creek's coach..she told her no, but her daughter was on the team...the lady told her "you guys were the team to beat today. everyone has been buzzing about what an awesome job your squad did!" well, it turns out that this lady was the head of the entire cheerleading program for clarksville!(she oversees ab 25 squads) the greatest thing about all of this to me is seeing how possible it is for something to be made out of nothing... because the majority of them had never cheered before, they had no idea of what they 'should' or 'shouldn't' be able to do...they were just always up for learning whatever i was willing to teach them..and THAT is why they were such a great group! i just wonder at what point in our lives we think we know all we need to know....i know as a teenager we go thru 'that phase' but what i learned from these girls is (1) PATIENCE! because they are middle school girls & they do like to talk ALL THE TIME! (2) that if we're willing to learn, God is more than happy to impart His wisdom and give us joy as we're taught....so here's to a great season! Go Coyotes! and great fun as we learn life!
