Our little yellow belt!

Tonight was a BIG night for Mr. Austin! He tested for his yellow belt in Tae Kwon Do. We started Tae Kwon Do at the beginning of the summer to give Austin something different to try other than soccer and football in hopes that he would take a natural interest in it...and he did! This has been something that has been not only good for Austin, but for our entire family. We go every week as a family and this week Jeremy and I started taking the adult class as well. Carson has even made a friend (Eastman) and they meet up every Wednesday and Friday and play together and watch their big brothers get a workout! It's been great for Austin to get out of his comfort zone and go to a place where he doesn't know the other kids from school...a place he can build his confidence, health, and skills! The video below is a shorten clip of his test this evening. Jeremy and I could not be more proud of him

Before Austin tested this evening, he was very nervous and afraid he would fail. He was afraid he wouldn't be able to break the board... I asked him if he had prayed and told Jesus he was nervous and if he had asked him to help him do well on his test. He replied "Of course I have mom. I've also prayed for all of my friends; that they will do well even if I don't." His responses always amaze me! Our 7 year old prayed for the other students testing to pass even if he didn't...I sure don't know what God has in store for Austin, but I know it's BIG and I'm so thankful that God chose Jeremy and I to be his parents!
