COLTS WIN! PLAYOFFS HERE WE COME!

Well........ WE DID IT! The Colts won the game tonight to punch their ticket into the 3A State Playoffs of Alabama!! They have not been in the playoffs in 16 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How awesome is that? It feels sooooooooo good...after a "convincing" win like this...but I will say all glory goes to God. I had "my sword" "on" me tonight. I wrote scripture from 2 Chronicles 20:17 on my hand before I left for the game. Last Sunday when I was in Waco at our former church the message came from this passage and I decided to claim if for Forrest and I and the Colts tonight. 2 Chronicles 20:17 " Take your positions, stand firm, and you will see the deliverance that the Lord will give you. Do not be discouraged, do not be afraid for the Lord is with you!" As my sweet father-n-law once said...."God did not MOVE/ bring you and Forrest over there to not have favor on you." It's so true. There is a purpose for us being here...although it's hard to see at times. Being the head coach is WAY different than being an assistant...the head coach position is a LOVE/ HATE deal....and we've just felt arrows being thrown our way here and there....but a victory like tonight...will help build trust, belief, and validation. So thank you for your prayers and support...you will never know how much they mean to us. My ONLY regret tonight is that I didn't leave my camera on "video" mode to capture the team "doucing" Forrest with not 1 but 2 gatorade coolers. He got soaked and it was quite chilly/ windy out there tonight. What a night...what a sweet memory!
