The First Week of School 2k19

This week was the start of the Fall Season for Team Bibb.  School started, soccer tournament, the schedule release for the little girls, basketball is coming, football is coming.  Life starts in the fall.

Here are a few of the moments of the first week of school:

Day 13 of 365 - Mavs vs GSW Game

Last night took an L, but tonight we bounced back could describe our day.  Lex lost a tough basketball game last night.  We don’t lose a lot of basketball games.  We don’t lose any basketball games.  But, we lost last night.

We are a true sports family.  We have basketball goals in our house, balls everywhere, and the stains on the wall for decoration.  We love it, but the downside are the losses, and we take them hard.

Lex lost her basketball game, and then the Cowboys lost their playoff game, so that was 2 tough losses back to back.

We all woke up in a funk, Lex included, and needed to get out and get some retail therapy.  We got some things from Kirkland’s and ended up at the Mavs game that night!

We had GREAT seats and it was a GREAT game.  Luka did his thing, but so did Steph going for 48 and getting the win.

Not a bad way to bounce back from a rough night.

These 3 Things

If we could get you girls to remember and live by 3 things, it it would be these:

1 - Love and put God first

2 - Love people and help bless their lives

3 - Reach for the stars

Life is full of ups and downs.  Seek God to know how to live right, how to live a life abundantly and full of joy, and to model for others how great living right is.  When you live for God, you are ready for anything and appreciate everything.  You are ready to take on the world because you have good intentions and have God on your side, you appreciate your wins and losses.  The wins are easy, and with the right perspective, the losses are wins because they teach you real lessons.

Life is about people - help people.  Be a light.  Find ways to bless others through encouragement and love and empathy and respect. 

Help make the lives of everyone you come in contact with a little more meaningful and special.

Just imagine if somebody - or groups of people - did that for you ...

Finally, reach for the stars.  You can be anything and do anything.  Have positive thoughts.  You have to feed your mind.  An idle mind will get filled, and it usually gets filled with negative thoughts.  Be proactive with your thoughts so that you remain in control.  It starts each morning with feeding your mind good, positive, productive thoughts - then work hard throughout the day to control your thoughts and win the day.  Over the course of time, you will have more days won than loss and you will look up and love the life you live.

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full and abundantly.
