Praying for Opportunities!!...

WOW, its been awhile since I last posted anything. =( Sorry about that. 
   Ok, I just wanted to update you a bit of what my family and I will be up to the next month or so. My younger brothers, Collin (11), and Cian (9) play on on a Little League baseball team, and my dad is head coach for the next four years. Because of this, I am going to be keeping book, which I am rejoicing about because I love baseball, and working with the boys!! 
   This season my family is looking, and praying for opportunities to share Christ with the boys on the team, and their families. Please pray that we come across opportunities, and when they come that we would be bold enough to speak out for Christ. There are so many hurting families that need to hear the gospel, and need hope. And we as Christians have the hope, and peace that passes all understanding.
   So that is our mission throughout this baseball season. Again, please pray for my family as we interact with many families - that we would share the gospel with them, and impact them for Christ.

Beautiful Katie!! =)

Hey everyone, 
  Friends are a huge part of our lives, and we need friends. God has given me the most amazing friend, Katie, and she means the world to me!! I don't know what I did without her before I met her, because she is everything that anyone could hope for in a friend!! 
  Yesterday, life took its tole on me, and I let it push me down to the ground. But that was before I got a phone call from Katie!! She stretched out her hand, and helped me up off the ground. She encouraged me in so many ways, and helped me put my focus back to where it needed to be!! Thanks Katie!! =) 
  Katie this is for you!! 

Kindness - you are a perfect picture of kindness even when I don't deserve it!!
Able - you are able to do anything that you put your mind to. DON"T EVER let anyone tell you can't!! =) 
Teacher - the things that you've taught me over the past few years are precious, and priceless. Thank you!!
Inspiration - you inspire me to be a better daughter, sister, and follower of Christ!!
Excellent - you're excellent at everything you do!! =) 

Katie, I love you dearly, and God is going to do great things through, and in you!! =) Never let anyone tell you that you're nothing, because God says you're golden in His eyes!! 

Love,

Hebrews 11:1; Hebrews 12:1,2

Hebrews 11:1 - "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."

Hebrews 12:1,2 - "Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God."

So these are just a few of the verses that I've been reading in my quiet time. These verses particular have really stuck out to me, and stuck with me the past few days. I thought that I would share them with you, and I hope that they bless, and challenge you as much as they did me!! =)
