10 Things I Learned

10 things I learned this morning:

1. Lady Trojans can run up and down a field for over an hour and be like I just woke up like dis, well I didn't run and I could scare young children with the way I look. Oh wait - they are 20 years younger than me, maybe I'll use that excuse.

2. How old am I - 90? Every stinking body part on my body hurts. Even my eyelids. Apparently I can't hang.

3. Taking down signs in the rain will not be fun - can they just stay up til we go to state next year?

4. Yesterday was beautiful on the field, in the bleachers and at home. I will forever have that embedded in my memories of that time we first went to state. What a great story we have!

5. Like really who do I talk to about #3.

6. Our town still loves our Trojans and that includes all - from soccer to football to tennis to track to swim to bowling to FFA to JROTC to band to cheer to dance to flag to baseball to softball to whatever else I left out! We are one team, one school, one family!

7.-10. I'm done, I'm tired of learning! Peace out!

P.S. if anyone is interested in the image I designed and created let me know. I can change it to whatever sport or program you like or just leave it blank. If you want to get it on a shirt or something I can email the image to you.

10 Things!

10 things I learned tonight:

1. Never underestimate a small town, we show up!

2. Lady Trojans put it all out on that field.

3. I could never be a soccer player because I would be arrested for throat punching a girl.

4. Our fans are dedicated.

5. Our Lady Trojans got skillz to pay da billz.

6. I was out of breath watching them run hence the reason I don't ever sign up for a 5K.

7. When you show up to a game bring a bottle of honey for your throat.

8. The Lady Trojans are a force to be reckoned with, watching you hold your ground was possibly the most amazing thing I've experienced (well okay the birth of my children and getting married - guess I'll throw that in there).

9. When you can no longer stand kneel.

10. This town loves you, Lady Trojans! Not for a score, not for a block, not for a kick, but for your heart.

Just wait a movie will be made about this someday and people are going to say pishposh (okay maybe only me), but they will say the titans, who are they, I remember the Trojans!

Lady Trojans

So here it is, it is game day and we are on our way! What an amazing team, school and community we have!

I pray that our Lady Trojans understand the magnitude of what this has done for a community already. It is never about winning, though winning is nice, it is about your heart. What I see every time I see this team together is heart and it is so amazingly beautiful. Win or lose they have changed the hearts of many because they have shown that anything is possible. There are so many negative things out in the world, so when there is a positive thing happening we should always treat it as this community did this week. Sometimes the news and social media becomes inundated with so much negative that this was just a nice change to see a community just light up green and gold with love. May the team, parents and fans be covered with peace, safety and blessings. May you all be filled with the love God so graciously pours out! And to you Lady Trojans may you play your hearts out with the passion, fire and love that this community has grown to love y'all for! We are victorious in Him! Win or lose, y'all have already won our hearts!!

Proverbs 21:31 “The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but the victory belongs to the Lord.”

P.S. I'll be in the parking lot to hand out glow necklaces and bracelets and of course Kleenex! I'll also be face painting!
