I'ma... I'ma Football Mom. I'ma Air Force Mom. I'ma "Whatever they are Doing Mom!"



Tonight has the feel of fall in the air.  Which is a little scary considering it is only August!   But tonight feels like fall.

Tonight I'ma football Mom and have downloaded the "Mental Toughness Training Manuel For Football" and the "Concordia Bulldog Football Media Guide," to read.   I don't understand most of it and can't remember all of their names and states. I can tell you I respect the passion.

Concordia Bulldog Football in Seward, Nebraska has an amazing head coach in Vance Winters.  A thoughtful and intentional man of character from my perspective.  Then add Coach Osten of the D-line and I praise God for the mentors in my son's life!  Several football players come from our home town so I'm very proud.  

My middle son is learning to focus his energy and passion!  To regulate his intensity.

The team's theme for the year is-FINISH! This is my theme for every area of my life!

I'ma Mama!

My youngest son is still out practicing High School football tonight.  His team is a young football team working toward becoming a team.  I'm so proud of this son who has jumped into football and faced his fears and working to bring up the intensity and passion in his heart.

So I've learned to love any football I can watch and I listen to Sports Nightly to try to understand more.  

I'ma Mama!

My oldest is an instructor in the Air Force in a mentally and physically tough position.  So I read "military news" and follow the Air Force websites trying to understand his world.   I am fanatical about listening to the news and try to be All In!

I'ma Mama!!

The point of this blog?!

Just to say that I'm a very proud Mom.  And to encourage every Mom and every adult who has the chance to impact the life of a child to be all in!

Ima Mama!!!!

Starting a Journey

September 3, 2010 Originally posted How to Begin a Journey 1. Pick a destination or simply start. 2. Plan a detailed itinerary or just take the first step. 3. Pack everything or travel lightly. I am choosing to just begin. To leave behind the baggage, pick up a day pack, and go. Several nights before we moved to Ogallala, I was praying about the transition when I heard that still, small voice of God. In that moment, I knew He heard my Heart's Cry. He hears every whispered plea, every unspoken longing. If I truly sit with that truth, it humbles me. What courage, boldness, passion, and decisiveness I have when I remember: He never leaves or forsakes me. He provides for my every need according to His riches in glory. My hope is to encourage you He hears your Heart's Cry too.

Picking up Rocks and Riding in Boats

I took a walk with a three year old young man today.   His mama was frazzled and he was bored.  "Grab your shoes," I told him.  He ran to his Mom to get his shoes on and ran to the door.  After fixing the shoestrings and the coat was on the way he wanted and I showed him the edge of the sidewalk and where we would walk...we were off. A dried piece of weed draped across an edge of the sidewalk, and I bent down to check it out.  He followed my lead and bent in half beside me.  I broke a piece off and gave him half and continued on our way.  Have you ever took a walk with a toddler?  And looked at things the way they do?  The broken sticks in the gutter, the ice and the small patch of snowing clinging to life are all gold to these little explorers.   A little encouragement is all they need to sift for treasure along the way. A smooth stone sat contentedly on the driveway of a house.  I stopped to admire...
