WHOOOSH!

Our rollercoaster ride continues! The boys had bball games last night, Jeff and I and all the boys were there (it can be really hard to make that happen with all our schedules). Matthew has had one dream and that was for his first score to be seen by all of us. He has done really well for a first time player with defense and rebounds but had never scored. Tues. night he was so mad at himself for "walking" and missing a layup.

He grabbed a pass, put it up, and WHOOOSH! And the crowd went wild!!! He was so modest but absolutely thrilled. You would think he broke an Olympic record or made the game winning score (we lost the game, by the way, but we didn't care:)! But for him, it was a hard-earned dream come true, and all of us who know his spirit were so incredibly happy for him! And just one more time that Matthew has inspired us that all things are possible! I remember the infant legs that didn't look or kick normal because they were so weak from lack of circulation. And now I watch them run down the court and am reminded that He is always there, even in a small town middle school basketball game, revealing Himself in a little boy's eyes and in the many tears shed for His grace upon us.
