Diary of a Mad Soccer Mom:)

   Tonight,  my four year old had his first soccer game.  We have had a few practices but this was the first real game and everyone was really excited!  Maddie had been great at all the practices; he listened and followed directions and seemed to be great at it.  We called all our family to come see him play and we just knew he would do perfect! Boy! Oh Boy! God must be laughing at me right now.  One of those times when you think you have it all figured out and well you don't!  During the soccer game a little boy pushed him (not in a mean way it's a soccer game and they all want the ball:)). After,  Maddox got upset and "refused to play that team again!"  I was frustrated,  mad and a little sad! I wanted him to play. I wanted him to just be a little boy and have fun!  Our family had took time to come see him and he literally refused to play. We left the game early because our little girl Hadley who is 10 months was super sleepy. When I got home I felt bad for being upset with him. I knew I had only made things worse. Then Jesus spoke to me... why was I so upset with him!?!? Maddie could be mean,  selfish, unruly, hateful, a bully and all the things a mom wouldn't want their little boy to be and he is NONE of those!!! He has a kind heart and he is shy... And he loves his mama a little too much!! So what am I upset for!?!?!?! He has so many years to be a rough tough little soccer player or whatever little player he wants to be! I need to enjoy him being him:) :) This is who he is and this is how God made him.  He is perfect! Amazing how God can make my no good afternoon into a great night! I sure do love  God!!!
