Tori Roloff Reflects on Son Jackson’s First Soccer Game: ‘God Has Set You Apart’
By Movieguide® Contributor
Tori Roloff recently celebrated her son Jackson’s first soccer game.
The reality TV star commented on how others and Jackson, her son, are starting to realize that he is different.
“I feel like Jackson (and others) are starting to notice that something is different about him” she wrote. “At Jackson’s first soccer game, the other team was asking why he was so small. Purely out of curiosity I believe-not bullying or being malicious-just curious. It stuck with him enough to tell me on the sideline though. I told him ‘That’s how God made you, now show them how fast you are!’ He then proceeded to score a goal, and I can’t tell you how stoked we were.”
He’s starting to notice that he’s different and that’s hard to cope with- however, I WANT him to know he’s different. But maybe not in the way he thinks he is,” she continued.
Tori then wrote a prayer over her son that he would notice his differences and realize that that’s how God made him.
“Jackson, I pray that you notice that you are different. That God has set you apart from all other people. I pray you’re different in how you see and love others. I pray that you’re different in the choices you make to keep God close to your heart. I pray you’re different in how you solve problems and arguments. I pray that you think differently about how the world works and adaptations that can be made,” she wrote.
“I pray you see your differences and use them to change the world. You are different, kid. Different than any kid I’ve ever met. You are one of a kind and I am so stinking proud to be your mom,” she concluded.
Lightheartedly, Tori wrote that she was so excited that her pep talk helped Jackson score his first goal.
Movieguide® recently reported on the Roloff’s prayerfully prepare themselves for Jackson to start school:
Tori recently posted on Instagram photos of her son Jackson Kyle, 5, as he attended his first day of kindergarten.
“This kid makes my heart swell with pride. He walked into his first day of school as confident as ever! He is so sure of himself and I love how he owns a room!” Tori wrote in the caption.
“I pray every single day for the Lord to protect this boy’s heart,” she added. “To give him the confidence and strength to keep going. I pray he is always kind and helpful. I also pray that he loves school as much on the day of his graduation as he did today! ?”
Jackson was excited to go; Tori revealed in a series of videos also posted to her Instagram.
“I cannot believe we have a kindergartener!” she captioned the video. “He was so excited to go to school this morning! So proud of our baby J!”
But Jackson, the couple’s eldest son, was not the only Roloff celebrated this week.
Tori recently shared news about their four-month-old boy, Josiah Luke.
“This chunk of love is 4 months today! I almost missed this photo too. I had about 2 minutes and 6 photos to choose from before Si decided it was bedtime. But here we are: I still haven’t missed a monthly photo!!” Tori said.
“He is rolling all around already! ? He is SO happy (until he’s not ?) and smiles all the time. Especially for his siblings! ?,” she continued. “He loves to be talked to and smiled at all day long! ? As you can tell by the photos, he loves to put his hands in his mouth (I’m pretty sure he’s about to cut a tooth)! ?”
