It's was officially announced today that Marvin Sedberry, Sr. is the new Head Football Coach and Athletic Director at GHS. This is Coach Sedberry's third stint here in "tha G," and I, for one, am excited to have him back!
As a die-hard Greenville Lions fan, it is great to have a coach who has had a winning track record with our team BACK with our team. Coach Sedberry has taken the Lions to the playoffs many, many times in the past, and I am ready to go there again!
As a coach's wife, (more specifically as COACH WHEAT's wife), I welcome Coach Sedberry back with open arms. After all, he is the man who originally hired Jeff as a Lion coach way back in '94. I have always thought very highly of Coach Sedberry; he is a man of integrity, and a good role model for our young (and not-so-young [read: Coaches]) men. I know that Jeff has always admired him, and with good reason.
As an athlete's mom, (more specifically as MITCHELL WHEAT's mom), I think it is so cool that Mitchell will be playing ball for Coach Sedberry. After all, he was the head coach at GHS when Mitchell was born. I used to tote that child up to the top of the bleachers in a baby-backpack (NOT an easy task, I assure you) quite frequently on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday nights. This hiring makes me feel like everything has come full-circle.
Welcome back, Coach Sedberry. Welcome home.

Mitchell
My firstborn will be a teenager tomorrow.
My sweet, precious little baby is now a sweet, precious teenager.
When did that happen?
In the blink of an eye.
My tiny little preemie is now taller than me.
When did that happen?
Sometime between football season and track season.
My polite, respectful little boy is now a polite and respectful young man.
When did that happen?
Over the last 4748 days.
If I had known that the last time I picked up Mitchell and held him in my arms was going to be the last time, I would have held on so much tighter...and never let go.
Mitchell is every parent's dream. He is such an incredible kid. He is the best big brother in the world. Matthew and Mallory adore him. He is the one they go to when they are injured--in body or in spirit. He can always make everything better for them. He is the one Jeff and I call on whenever we need something, and the one we rely on waaaaaaay more than we should. He is always willing to help out anyone in need, and never says no when he is asked to lend a hand.
It's a mystery why the Lord chose to bless me with Mitchell, but there isn't a day that goes by that I'm not grateful, and humbled to be his mother. Sometimes just the thought of how fortunate I am absolutely takes my breath away.
Thank You, Lord, for trusting us with this amazing life. Thank You for blessing us every minute of every day with this child. Thank You for the opportunity to witness Mitchell's spiritual walk with You, and to watch him live his life for You. God, You are so good.
Amen, and amen, and amen.
