Proof positive that you can do anything you put your mind to and your heart into can be found in Sydney and Paige.
Paige has been taking Tae Kwon Do since March. She recently completed her test to move up from a white belt to a yellow belt. This included breaking a board and going through all of her forms. It was so amazing to watch. We have always been proud of our children and this was just another reason why.
Sydney has been training with Girls on the Run (GOTR) to complete a 5k run. This Saturday she did just that. She ran a 5k with her Aunt Felicia. I knew she could do it and I watched her train during the spring. She even ran on the treadmill during her spring break when they didn't have any practices at the school. On top of all of this, Sydney still plans to run during the summer and with GOTR in the fall.
Sydney and Paige have always had the mindset that they can do anything. I wish that I had more of their mindset in more things. I also wish that the world did as well. They see the good that needs to be done and they ask, "Why not me," instead of "Why can't someone else?" They set their minds on doing good, changing their world and changing their lives and they get it done. They did it! They got it done! We are proud of them both. We are proud of all of our family as well.
So, what about you? Yes, you! What are you going to do today, this week, this year, and with the rest of your life? What do you see a need for? What do you wish someone would do? What do you want to change about right now?
Whatever good it is that you have in your heart and mind to do, do it! I know I am going to do it, and I will get it done to.
Titled after my first book of poetry, this blog follows with a vast array of stories of hope, joy, grace, sorrow, success, thoughts and prayers. I hope to remind myself that it is okay to not know how all the notes make up the song, and to inspire others that sometimes the seemingly random is not random at all because the Truth is, we aren’t writing the score— He is. And because He is, we can just play the notes and trust that the song will be Victory
