So, I have a confession. I am Newsboys fan. It is hard to admit, but there it is. Okay, maybe not all of their stuff, but some of it is wonderful. Like this, from The Tide:
"there is courage for the simple man
to the holders of secrets and scars
learning to stand with reaching arms
we'll wait till the very last
no matter what will be
you're always good
always good to me"
Now that that is out of the way. It has been so cool to see God moving in and around me. My roommate and I sat in front of the same couple this week, and picked up our conversations from last week with them. After the service, we sat at the same table as the pastor at the newcomers luncheon, and my roommate had a good conversation with him. The both came out of the same Catholic background, so there was a common understanding. It seemed like a good talk, and meanwhile, I met some pretty neat people. Saturday, the girls team that I help with had a game down in SE Washington, and I probably had one of the more terrifying coaching moments. Our goalkeeper got a pretty good whiplash from a fall, and was a little woozy, but the cobwebs had cleared and she checked out negative for a concussion when I checked her. So I let her stay in the game as per her wishes with her promise that if she got any worse she would let me know, immediately. By halftime, ten minutes later, she couldn't jog off the field without getting dizzy, which she wasn't aware of earlier not having to jog. So, I pulled her, had her lie down, put some ice on her neck and back of the head where she said she had some impact. Well, she got progressively worse to the point where she couldn't sit up, her vision was getting blurred, and she wanted to sleep. In other words, she is screaming concussion symptoms. So the parent (not her dad but a teammates) who drove her to the game took her and me to the hospital to double check that there wasn't anything worse going on. Fortunately, there wasn't, but not fun.
On business news, it will be a busy next 2 weeks for me to see whether the Spider's clinics will take off or not. We have tryout clinics for 2-3 clubs. Very exciting.

This is Diane. I don't have a blog, so I am using Darrah's account.
Jeff, so thankful that church/community etc. is taking off. Praying that the Spider's clinics are going well. (And that you won't have too many more terrifying coaching moments.) May God continue to provide great opportunities for equipping you with all He's called you to do.
We miss you.
Diane for the Sikkemas
NEWSBOYS??? JEFF???? I am shocked. ;-)
