What a wonderful day.  It was a day of lessons, blessing, smiles, cheers and tears.  All put together, though, it was a wonderful day.

The boys had their final swimming conference meet.  All three qualified in at least one event last week at prelims so, they all swam. 

 My oldest had a tough meet.  He didn't swim his best times and really struggled with that.  After we talked, though, I think he was ok, yet still sad.  Satan really likes to attack him when he feels he didn't do well.  We need to continually pray him through this and claim victory in Christ.

My middle son had a great meet.  He had only qualified in one event for today but excelled in it.  He cut an entire second off his time and was very excited abou that.  He was also put in a relay and really enjoyed that.  Boy has he come a long way this past year. 

My youngest did well too, bettering one time and swimming slower in one event.  He has come so far this summer and I can't wait to see him develop as he swim year round this year for the first time. Should be fun.

We had a 1st place celebration for the team, we went for a pizza party after the meet, and came home to a relaxing evening. 

God is really growing us this summer with trusting in His providence and knowing each event and bit of our life is a piece to the puzzle He is putting together.  It is so easy to be blinded by the enemy.  Open my eyes Lord and let me see things as you see them.

Early morning swimming is over for the year, now.  We will miss it but I so look forward to spending some awesome time with the Lord Monday mornig instead of waking the boys and shuffling them off to the pool.
