Today was a great day, and a rough one all at the same time. We had a great day at practice, but personally I was a little uneasy because I kept thinking about our team member who is leaving tonight. I am continuously praying for him as he is dealing with all of the emotions attached to this situation.
Camp was great and the kids were great. I have truly been blessed this week with an experience that I will never forget. From the feel of this week, the kids are absolutely having a ball. I pray that the week continues to go well.
Huddle:
We did things a little different today, Brian and Jeff (our team member who is leaving tonight) talked to the kids. Jeff shared his story and his current situation, and Brian talked about the same situation. Brian focused on Exodus 17 when he spoke to the kids. This passage is where the Amalekites were defeated by Moses holding his staff in the air. His main focus was on the fact that as long as Moses held his staff in the air, Joshua and his army were winning. If you are familiar with this story, then you know Moses grew tired, and could no longer hold the staff up by himself. Then he asked Aaron and Hur to help him hold the staff up. Brian's speaking point was that we are all going to have times in our life where things are too heavy for us to hold up on our own. In these situations we should know that God is with us, and we shouldn't be scared to ask for help.
This really hit home with me. When things get tough for me I usually become very quiet, and don't want to ask for help. I think we all struggle with this, but all on different terms. Next time your having trouble and it starts to feel to heavy or overwhelming then think of Moses' story.
Thought of the Day: Never be to prideful to ask for help.
Goodnight and God Bless!
