Holiday Clubs this week have turned into Sports. Each branch is teaching soccer and netball drills to the kids while sharing about the life of Joseph. The children are learning that even though they will face difficulties that God loves them, has a plan for their lives, and is there for them through everything! As most people know, I am not a sports person. Yes I am a fan of watching some sports but I am also ok to watch anything else on TV. Since moving to South Africa I have become a big fan of rugby but soccer and netball are still a little foreign to me. I know that we just had the Soccer World Cup and I can’t tell you how many soccer games I watched but I still don’t understand the game.
This week I have just decided to embrace whatever comes my way and when I show up at clubs to help with whatever is needed. Today that job consisted of the following…… gathering some supplies and then helping girls to stay in a certain area while netball games were going on.
To some people I know this may not sound that exciting, but when I was watching the children’s faces today as they were doing soccer and netball drills I realized why I help!! Their faces were so full of joy and excitement that it made my morning!
I had to get some netballs ready for today so my early morning was spent hunting down balls and pumping them up! To get into the spirit I even wore my track suit pants!
