Every weekday morning that we go to school. It is our alone time and I hope starts therir days positively. I have missed doing this while in the hospital.
So I got out out the devotional book we use to read today's devotionals and write down some things that I thought pertinent for them. The book is called Devos for Sports Fans (can't imagine the boys would like that :):)) by John and Kathy Hillman.
Today's devotional was about a guy who aspired to be an official in the game of football. He reached his dream - only to call a touchdown on the 5th yard line of the first game he officiated!
"Without the courage to make drams a reality, we might as well not dream."
Verse
Joshua1:9
"I command you - be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you whenever you go."
from the Life Applcation Bible
" Yes, be bold and strong! Banish fear and doubt! For remember, the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."
It is amazing how God works. What I thought was going to be a good life lesson turned out to be something that directly applies to me and what a wonderful verse to start the week!
On a side note - a specific prayer:
Jared has pulled a leg muscle. He is out for a few games in football (his favorite sport). Please pray for fast healing for him! I am worried that this might be too much change for him right now. Thank you!

ReplyDeleteI have been praying for you, your strength and healing. Today in church I wrote down some words to the praise songs to share with you. Sorry I don't have the real deal, but I think you will know them by heart. I love the blog. It is encouraging to see how much each of us rely on God's word.
For thou, O Lord, are a shield for me. My glory and the lifter of my head.
How marvelous, how wonderful and my song shall ever be.
How marvelous, how wonderful is my savior's love for me.
O how He loves you and me,
O how He loves you and me,
He gave his life,
What more could he give,
O how He loves you,
O how He loves me,
O how He loves you and me.
This I know with all my heart, his wounds have paid my ransom.
Be encouraged, so many people are praying for you. I hope your pager is going crazy!!!
In Him,
Heather
