Monday Night is our turn to help out at Sarah;s kitchen....please text me and let me know if you can be there......we will meet at 5:00 at Sarah's Kitchen!!!!

I recently watched a commercial where a little girl was standing on top of her Daddy's feet while he led her in a dance. He held her close and her eyes never left His and her feet remained in step with her Fathers. I was quickly brought to my own relationship with my Heavenly Daddy. Jesus was us to be in step with Him, our feet directly in His foot prints....He wants to lead us out onto the dance floor of this life. Our eyes must never leave His......My prayer for you today is that you remain in step with Jesus and that your eyes remain connected to His eye....life is hard, its important to stay in step with our Savior!

Our God whispers – In that still, small voice, he calls us to develop confidence in him; he calls us to abandon the confidence we have in what we see and the confidence we have in our fears. God keeps the curtain of our future drawn so we will learn to live by faith and not by sight, so we will become certain of what we hope for and become sure of God, even when we cannot see how he’s working in our current circumstances. (Hebrews 11:1)

Is your heart in the game?

Today we interviewed Bradley Wegner in Sunday School. He shared with us about the fact He is Captain of his baseball team at Centenial High School. We asked what positions he played and the importance of each position. We then also asked him what happens when he misses the ball or strikes out. He shared how he kinda beats himself up and sometimes the team players can get upset with each other. He, as Captain, is responsible to keep the kids in the game. To help keep them focused on the goal ahead not on the past. Practice as a player is so important! Weightlifting makes them strong, running helps give them endurance. Practice is vital to being a good player!

In our walk with Christ we are to "be like Him." We are to keep that as our goal on this earth. To grow and be more and more like Christ. It is so easy to get our head off the goal when we "screw up" and make mistakes along the way. Just like the ball player we need to "practice", we need to read our Bibles, and study His word to be strong and we need to go to youth group and church to give us the endurance we need to run the race. Practice, stay focused and keep our eye on the goal and we will win the race!! Philippians 3:12-14 12Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. 13Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. Please join me, come be part of the team!! Love you all, I am here for you always to help encourage you and help you find the tools you need to win the race.....hugs to all~ Jackie
