Finishing What You Start


There has been some debate in our house this week about "Finishing What You Start". This lesson is hard especially if you don't like what you are trying to finish. Abbie is trying out for several different basketball teams for this spring. One team requires a 3 week tryout. They do things a little different than what she is used to. (Different drills, different techniques, and different plays) Abbie committed to this when she first announced she wanted to try out. She finished week one and decided she didn't like it and was not going back! James and I discussed this and decided this was a lesson she needed to learn. It would have been a lot easier (believe me) to say, " Ok honey you don't have to go back"! I can't tell you how many times I have started something and half way through I wanted to quit. Committing to finishing something that you start is a hard lesson. I don't know if Abbie will make this team. I hope that one day she can feel proud that she did her best and "Finished What She Started".
