A couple days ago, another mentor and I decided to get together with our protege's to play some volleyball. When I got to the court it was already being used. Neither one of the boys has been playing very long so this was supposed to be an opportunity to teach some basics and start developing some skill. I was concerned that the boys might get frustrated because it appeared that the guys already there were quite skilled. I prayed and asked the Lord to intervene. We decided to invite ourselves to play four on four. After about 5 minutes, the score was something like 13 to 0 but that was when it happened. Clouds had been threatening all night but suddenly they opened up. Everybody grabbed their gear and headed for the cars. We decided to stick around but the rest of the guys lit out of there like lightning was going to strike at any moment. We hung out in the car and talked for a couple minutes and decided to head back to the court despite a light drizzle. Within 10 minutes, the rain had completely stopped and we we now had the court all to ourselves. It was great to get a gentle reminder what our Father can do if we stop worrying about the circumstances and details and give the situation to Him.

What is this?
I start every day by digging into Gods Word. I try to journal what I learn so that I can remember it and apply His principles to my daily life. I challenge you to do the same. Archives
