I am going to get my Elm's College T-shirt today because my son has a game tommorow at 12 o'clock. He got accepted to Our Lady of the Elms College and is about to embark on a new chapter of his life.
He was home schooled all of his life and has played soccer ever since I can remember. DH coached him in the younger years and later he played town REC sports and then Suburban traveling team. His high school years he continued to home school and played soccer forthe local high school on Jr. Varsity and Varsity. He ended up winning Western MA All Star and was recruited by Coach Streeter at Elms. His new team is The Blazers.
Climbing to New Heights in 2011September 1, 2011In 2011, the Elms College men’s soccer team will field a squad that boasts nine returners and nine newcomers who will provide a tremendous balance of experience and athleticism as the Blazers look to climb to |
Over the years there has been many times I have questioned my vocation to home school and have felt inadequate to do so. I would say a prayer with the kids to entrust their vocation to St. Joseph. I needed peace of mind to know it was in God's hands.
At the Western MA All Star game, Joseph played on a soccer field with a statue of Our Lady of Grace looking over it. This was a sign to me that she was taking care of things.

Trust in the Lord, give everything to Him and He will see things through!

Go Blazers! My BIL works in the Athletic Dept where he met my sister. She's the one rumor has tried to kill her opponent in lacrosse (just a bad shot from goal). Two other sister's graduated there. Hope its a fabulous experience!
