This is one of my VERY favorite stories of Husband coaching track and it's all I could think about on Sunday when we watched this sweet girl get baptized....
Angelica has some special challenges and is just the sweetest soul....
Husband was competing (well his Varsity Girls were) at Marshwood High school... I was standing on the fence line with him and some of his girls who were watching at the start of the 100m.... they had gone through several heats and the number of gals ready to compete was dwindling.... It came time for the very LAST race and Husband QUICKLY realized Angelica was going to be running....
alone. Racing against... no one.
He looked at the girls on the fence line and said "jump the fence and get in that race!" They didn't miss a beat... didn't hesitate for a second... didn't argue... just JUMPED the fence and lined up at the starting line to "race" with Angelica.
No one should race alone and I love the relationship that Husband has always had with Angelica, how respectful his girls were that day and how HAPPY it made me to see her publicly declare her relationship with the Lord.
It brought tears to my eyes and I am so thankful to have had a front row seat to this gal since she was in high school!
