So the first game came and Tyler sat out due to his back being sore. But when the team won, he was a little disappointed that he hadn't been a part of it. This past Tuesday was the 2nd game and Ty announced that his back was indeed feeling better and that he thought he could play this time. So here he is, in his first Little League Baseball game. For the first time since this all began, I saw him engaging with the other kids, encouraging them, getting excited by the good plays that were made-in short, he had become a part of the team! I was teary eyed then watching him get more and more excited. And again when he got up to bat! This is such an accomplishment for him! He was obviously nervous, but he did it! He didn't back away from it! I was amazed in that moment at how faithful God had been through this time leading up to that moment! How all of the prayers I prayed from the bleachers while watching the practices had been answered in this 1 moment! Even though he was "walked" to first, he still got a pretty good hit in before that, it just went a little far off the field! But that walk eventually lead to him getting a run and scoring a point for the team.
So here are a few shots from the game. Can you see his smile as he waits on second to run to the next base? Yep. Our God is so good!

Oh and a side benefit to this...I get to take pictures of Tyler and he isn't ducking and dodging my camera!

Great Job!! We knew you could do it! I am glad that you are having fun and winning! We are proud of you, and God is so good. Maybe Nate and I can make it out to one of your games soon, that would be fun!!

It was so exciting to read this post Bonnie! How gracious God is to be teaching both you and Tyler about his faithfulness through a game. Maybe I'll get a different response next time I ask him how baseball is going :)
Smiles, all I could do while reading your post is smile at God's love and goodness for his little children, Way to go Tyler!
YAY Tyler! Great Job! I love this post Bonnie! And I love the love you have for your kiddos!
