THE AUDITION

This was one of the toughest days we have had in awhile, but once again God proved to be there. The play audition was really hard. First, Mark felt horrible. Second, as a parent, there is nothing tougher than seeing your child completely disappointed. He was totally scared, and I couldn't find anything to do to help. I felt like a failure. He felt horrible. It was bad. And then, when he would have been able to do it, it was over! In the end though, I think that it was all good. For one, he battled through to play a great basketball game and didn't let one bad thing turn into a lot of bad things. Second, after a season of not scoring a basket, I asked God to please enable Mark to find a way to score. And he did! Now it didn't do a lot for his attitude, but the lesson I think was learned, that he didn't let this get him down, he still lived life and lived it well even after a disappointment. Looking back, I think this will be good, but it did make for a very rough day.
