Hey all,
My oh my, what a long title. Many of you know this year we hae been hosting the Upwards program at CWC. At the end of last year God really put it on my heart that if we do it again that I wanted to coach a team. Well God definitely answered that prayer this year as I am now coaching the 5th/6th grade boys basketball team.
It has been so awesome watching kids who might not normally come to church memorizing scripture and getting involved. My prayer is that this will spill over into families coming to know Christ in a greater way. In this day and age it is so wise to meet our culture where they are at. When it comes to kids sports many parents will support their kids no matter what (as well they should)
I say all this to say that in all of this I have benefited so much spiritually. In the families I have met, and many of the people I have gotten a chance to work with this year. Now if you have seen me coach I think I get more a workout than the kids (hint: I'm jumping all over the place). It is hard to contain the excitement of seeing a kid finally come out of any shyness he has and shooting the ball (i had that happen last week). It was awesome!
Isn't it funny how when you go, "out on a limb" so to speak and do something completely different that God shows you how awesome he is? Take a look at aspects of you r life and ask God where can I be stretched. Yeah, I know it is a dangerous question because as with most things we may not know th results, but praise God that he walks with us through these bold new challenges!
May God Bless you and Heaven Smile on you!

It's funny, but I don't often ask to be stretched but God always seems to provide the opportunities anyway!! (like, for example, me giving my testimony on saturday at CWC) : )
