Goal with a whole lot more

Do you see this child below:
See him:)
Yes that child;)
Dylan let's be honest has not been a easy child to raise thus far.
I feel like Dylan is more in my life to teach me things than me him, but I know God put us together for more reasons than I can really grasp.
But today was such a rewarding moment I just want to journal it.
Today.
O'today.
For the first time Dylan scored not one, but two goals in soccer.
For those who have children who do this all the time, that is so awesome.
For Dylan this was a moment in time i will never ever forget.  In the Fall mid way through the soccer season something clicked for Dylan and we all saw it, but he never scored.
This was his first game for the spring season and boy was it exciting to watch.
He looked like a natural soccer star out there and I'm not just saying that; he was passing good, thinking ahead of the game and just so involved.
Our son Dylan has had many medical challenges so it's been hard for him to succeed at one sport and do well.
Soccer is a sport we have always gone back to due to the nature of activity (very active), and fairly simple, plus he loves it!
Anyway, i could go on and on.
The joy of watching him in years of soccer and finally scoring today was HUGE.
I thought for sure i would jump up and yell like a crazy "soccer mom", but instead i just cried "happy tears".
What a journey parenting is and what a blessing.
So today I'm documenting it with the hopes of looking back and remembering the moment watching Dylan score his first goal at soccer. 
The pure joy on this childs face I will never forget.

Since we are going through Proverbs as a family my latest favorite is and this is the NIV Adventure Bible.

"My son, hold on to good sense and the understanding of what is right. Don't let them out of your sight. They will be life for you. They will be like a gracious necklace around your neck. Then you will go on your way in safety. You will not trip and fall, When you lie down you won't be afraid When you lie down you will sleep soundly."

Proverbs 3: 21-24
