I Wonder

Sometimes, when I have a minute or two, I wonder if I'm getting it right. I look at my kids and see such greatness. They truly amaze me. Not only are they gifted mentally and physically, they are such hard workers with high ambitions. I guess the right word is driven. They have set goals for themselves and are willing to do what ever it takes to accomplish those goals. As parents, Dathan and I do all that we can to help them out. Wouldn't anyone? Sometimes I wonder???

Do the neighbors think we're crazy as we are always running here and there? Do our friends roll their eyes because our kids have to schedule their playtime? Is it okay that we get up at 6:30 a.m. to eat breakfast as a family because no one is home in the evening? Do we need to simplify our lives? Should our kids be more "normal"?

I do know one thing. Johnny will never make his goal of the Olympics sitting at home playing X BOX. Lonica will never get into the best dance conservatories watching The Suite Life of Zach and Cody. If Justin is to earn a scholarship , Jalen wants to be an famous artist or Jordan is to become successful, mediocrity is not an option. Excellence is a process that must be continually improved.

"It is a rough road that leads to the heights of greatness." Seneca

We have made the decision to go for it. We are shooting for the stars. Somebody is going to make it. Why not us? We are committed and will give it our all.

But still when I lay in bed at night I wonder!
