311: a sad ending, but a good fight!

Jayden's soccer team, The Green Strikers, made it to the playoffs! It was a very exciting and nerve racking game! The first goal of the game wasn't scored till the end of the 4th quarter..by us! Unfortunately, the other team handed it right back to us with a quick score. So the game was tied 1-1. We went into overtime..with no score! Then on to second overtime. Sadly, in the last minute of  overtime, one of the other teams players {which happens to be our friend} had a breakaway, took a shot and scored. It was a great game but the boys were a little disappointed! Jayden had one of his best games ever and was named the "Starburst" player of the game! Driving home, a few tears were shed! Then comes the question that no parent really has the answer for, "Why didn't Heavenly Father answer my prayers? I prayed to do good and he didn't listen!" Ummm..sometimes we don't always get what we want! Yeah, that's a standard answer but not exactly what a 9 year old, who is heart broken, wants to hear.
