~ BC Winter Games Results ~

This winter has been a growing experience for us in Curling.  The boys came close but didn't win the two out of three games they needed to get to the finals on Sunday. 

I am so proud they even made it to the BC Winter Games.  My heart hurts for them.   I want them to leave this event with hope in their eyes for the future.  I see such a amazing team here.  I see such a awesome team and I pray they keep their eyes to the heavens for HIS glory. 

 As my friend Bobbie said ..."as everyone watches how the "Christian/Homeschoolers" win, they are also watching how they don't win. May all they do bring God honor and in doing so honor their parents as well." 

I plan to make a Curling Celebration Cake for them to come home to.  I want them to know "HOW" proud we are of them.  And I will take a pic of them in their BC Winter Game hoodies.  The suviner (sp?) that we got them. 

   Thank you all for your words of encouragement and prayers.  They ment soooooo much to the boys and us.  It also makes the let down not be so hard knowing that there are such SS'sIC out their for us.

(((((((((HUGS)))))))))

on just making it to the games. What an honor! We are proud of you guys! And yes, this experience will be helpful for the next year.

Don't give up - if Abe Lincoln or Thomas Edison had given up (after multiple tries and losses) where would we be?

Great job!!! Celebrate for a job well done!

Posted by jenn4him
That's really a hard lesson to learn at so young an age, but they can be so proud that they went as far as they did. I will pray that God gets the glory and they learn valuable lessons from this,too. They are well on their way to being godly men!

I'm so sorry that the games didn't end up as well as the boys would have hoped. We think they are super and will do better next time! Big hugs to them and eat a piece of cake for me.

Feb. 23, 2008 - Hey Mrs. Rawick!

Posted by azncutie2007
Thank you for posting this up Mrs. Rawick! I knew from the website that things didn't go to well for them. But they tried their best and I hope that they will be strong and cheerful. They better not give up (^.^) I hope that they stay strong and full of hope for the next years coming or even stay strong for the olympics. Obviously it wasn't God's will for them to win, but they have my cheer for whatever they aspire for the future.

Love,
Esther

I'm sorry for their loss.
I hope the experience of going was a good one overall.
I think it is just so cool that they made it so far.

Will they continue to do Curling in the future?

Blessings,

We have homeschooled our four boys from birth and plan to go the distance till all four graduate from our homeschool. I teach with a Charlotte Mason style and use the Heart of Wisdom Approach. I love to craft! I am a beader, knitter, x-stitcher, quilter. We have been on a journey of being apart of building "The House that God Built". I have been recording our journey on my blog. Go to my links and you will find it. I know God has a lot more instore for us and we just need to follow where our Lord takes us.
