Molly's Prayer

I think this is a prayer we could all learn from if we prayed it. It is from one of my inspirational youth.  Thanks Molly for sharing this...

God, Lord, maker of all, power over everything, all knowing; you have adopted me, a sinner, who makes many mistakes one after another. You love me for who I am and allow me to be forgiven for all that I do against  your word. You take me in every mood rather it be I'm down and not following your way or think theres no hope, or in the highest spiritual time in life and happiest I could be. You're the center. You're my center focus in my life.You created me and use me to do your great tasks. You sent you're only begotten son, Jesus Christ to die on the cross for OUR sins, MY sins, You saved me and blessed me all and more than I could ever ask for. Whenever I need someone to count on your always by my side. Through thick and thin it does not matter either way. Rather I follow your word on the dotted line or a little off your there. Could anyone ask for a better savior? I'm an open door for you to use me for work and to glorify your name. I call on you so much and lean on you its time I really live my life to the fullest and let you take over and guide me and show me your way fully. The ONLY way. Start giving my sins, worries, confusions, questions, up to you in prayer and letting you have them and letting you control. And helping me seek ways for you to shine your light through me at all times not just when it is convenient for me. Thank you for adopting me and blessing me with all that I need and more: Family, Friends, Your word, church, shelter, clothing, food, school, and cars.

Home Run Prayer

I was reading a book about adolescent development today and there was a section about sports. It caused me to heavily reflect upon my time as a high school and college athlete. I remember training harder than ever in high school so I could be a starter on the Varsity team. My defense skills as a catcher were very strong. My hitting was consistent, but I was not a power hitter. I was a decent single hitter and great a moving my team-mates around the bases. My greatest strength was bunting. Yet, every player longs to hit a home run. I had been trying to hit a home run ever since I could play ball. It was never accomplished. In high school I spent much of my time trying to make my swing more powerful. I remember after one of my best rounds of hitting in the cage every ball was a solid line drive to the back of the net. Hitting the ball like that felt so good! I hit almost an entire bucket of frozen ropes. When I was done I quickly ran over to pick up all the balls and I smi

Experiencing the Unseen

Ephesians 6: 10-12 "Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." This past weekend I saw student's lives changed, had open and honest conversation about sex and relationships, and watched three different generations bond together sharing wisdom and teaching one another. It was a beautiful picture of family ministry.  Adults and teenagers were together talking about subjects that I think most churches try to sweep under the rug causing people to learn about sex and relationships through media and other misleading sources. One parent put the weekend into her own words... "Mostly this weekend I was reminded that teens want adults to be real, truthful and to sh

What I Learned About Marriage from my Big Brother

Here is the Wedding Message I gave during my brother's wedding Oct 22, 2011...  I have only lived with my brother for 16 years. And today Wendy you are committing the rest of your life to Jason! Now that I have been married for 3 years myself, as I reflect on the 16 years of living with my brother I realized that God had used Jason to prepare me for my own marriage. I learned 3 key important ingredients that have helped me in my own marriage and I hope will help you in yours as well. INGREDIENT # 1 -  Open Communication Thanks to Jason, I learned in my own marriage that it’s somewhat healthy to wear your emotions on your sleeve. My brother and I always spoke freely with very honest feedback about how we were feeling. Even though it could be hurtful at times I could always trust with Jason that there were no surprises since communication was so open. For example; even though we disagreed in high school and had very different lifestyles; there’s a part of me that always
