In the flesh

Backbone: Urban Soccer League

Flesh:
-When I get phone calls from children begging me to take them to church on Sundays
-When I am calling parent after parent reminding them about soccer practice Tuesday
-When I am at a coffee shop working on spring scheduling for the Soccer Academy
-When my van is immersed in soccer equipment

This is what i've dreamed of. This is what i've waited for. This is the 'unknown' that I tried so hard to portray to my supporters. This is the flesh.

It's so easy to miss it, so easy to forget the blood, sweat, and tears it took for the vision to become alive.

And what's the goal? Life change - transformation. How exactly is that measured??

For me, It's a gut feeling. A display of excitement in a child's face every time they see my van come around the corner. The rest is a mystery. Maybe over time, little by little, it will be revealed. But regardless, we will be there.

For neither he who plants, nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.
