Seasons are a blessing! I'm so grateful that winter is over and now that we are in spring! It's like a new fresh beginning is starting to break forth. I've been blessed in this "new" time in my life. It hasn't been an easy few months, but God has remained faithful! I'm reminded of His provision especially when we don't see the Big picture He sees it clearly. God has blessed me with a full time position, with friends and family that support me, a church that challenges me, and a faith that continues to be challenged to grow deeper.
I'm entering this weekend into our spring season through SOAR with our first set of games. I'm excited about the "new" season and with it requires many hours for me. I would ask for your prayers during these next 2 months that God will strengthen me physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. I will be the only full time staff person until a director is hired. The fellow that has been working with me most likely will no longer be working there starting next week and has been to find more part-time help. I have a guy lined up to come May 5.
So in reality, I'm working 2 people' roles at the moment. I am confident that God has showed up on my behalf several times the last few months, weeks, and days. He has given me much hope, but again do not want to lose heart or be weary.
I will be putting several hours on the weekend Friday and Saturday as we have games both nights. Please pray not only for me, but for the ministry. Our mission is to Change lives for Christ Thru Sports. Pray that relationships will be built in order to help move a person one step closer in beginning a relationship with Jesus Christ thru sports. Pray for the families, kids, and coaches that come each week. Pray that the families will see Christ in the coaches on and off the field. Pray that people will be encouraged and invested in the season.Pray for families to unite together. Pray that God will show up in a real and personal way. Pray that if confrontation needs to happen from my end that God will speak through me. Pray that people will be able to see Jesus through my life, attitude, and testimony. Pray that my attitude is right before each day and weekend. Pray that I will serve my God in a mighty way through the leadership that He has entrusted to me.
In all of these things, I ask that you bring them before the throne of Jesus. I appreciate in advance your prayers!
May He explode our faith in this "new" season!
