What A Day!!!!!!

It was one long day!!! Well I had a friend ask me to coach her daughters softball team. Well the awesome friend that I am I told her sure. Before the season even started her daughter blew her knee out, and some how I am still stuck coaching!!!! So I am coaching 7&8 Grade girls fastpitch. Here is a few pics from our first practice.

I spent the whole 2 hours pitching to the girls, by the time I was done I realized I'm not 15 anymore. If you see me this is why I am moving a little slow.

Those who know me know I loved every minute of it!!! Thanks Cindy for making me coach these girls, it's going to be an awesome season!
So as soon as practice was over I raced home to shower and get ready for church. We had an awesome service learning about God's love for us!!
Well one of my friends has been given the opportunity to go to India. It is her first time out of the country so I am doing all I can to help her get prepared. So after church we ran to get something to eat before we worked on filling out her Visa application.

The waitress brings the bill and H realizes she has misplaced her debit card. She uses her whooing skills and talks the waitress into taking a check. The waitress excepted the check eventhough she had no drivers license that had been misplaced like 6 months ago.

Got in the car and found the misplaced debit card after all that!!!!!

We go to work on the Visa application and realize we can not find H's passport. We spent 2 hours searching and came up with the misplaced drivers license. Passport was found much later. But I am happy to announce all documents are filled out and ready to mail along with passport and copy of drivers license. H is actually going to India!!!WOOHOO!!!!! I'm so proud of her!!!!

My Testimony

I grew up in a Christian home where I was drug to church every time the doors were open. I spent my childhood trying to follow the Christian ways that my parents had drilled into my head, but when I was 10 I made a choice all on my own to accept Christ as my Savior and follow and serve Him for the rest of my life. I continued to follow after God, and when I was 15 I knew God was calling me into full time ministry. In my mind I believed their were only 2 options for me; a children’s pastor or a youth pastor. For 10 years I went around and around and around because I let fear stop me from doing what God created me to do. Finally I got tired of not going anywhere and I asked God what is it that you want me to do. He told me He wanted me on the mission field. This was very hard for me to hear because I spent my entire life with a fear of leaving the United States, I grew up saying I was never going to another country. I put aside all my fears and said O.K. God I will go. My first trip out of the United States God sends me by myself, I cried for a week before I left, I cried on the plane the whole way down to Honduras, but once I got there and I experienced what God had waiting for me it was greater than anything I had experienced in the States. After setting foot on foreign soil I knew thats where I was spending the rest of my life. I still was not completely open to what God had for me I still had some restrictions. We had a sermon series called The HPC Apprentice; 4 people out of the church were chosen and I was 1 of the 4, we spent several weeks just doing whatever was asked of us, serving the church, serving the community and then at the end the church voted on who they thought should win. I did not win, but the guy who did win won a trip to Swaziland, Africa. After finding out what the prize was I was so glad I did not win, because I had also spent my entire life saying I was never going to Africa. Well, over the next 6 months God begins to work on me and all of a sudden I am now telling my sister I really want to go to Africa. My sister had a friend who was going to Africa in 2 months so she called her up and told her I wanted to go to Africa, so she said let me see what I can do. Next thing I know I’m receiving a phone call saying I hear you want to go to Africa. Within a month I had raised every penny I needed for the trip and within another month I was on a plane to Africa. Do you know I made it to Africa before the guy who won the trip to Africa? When God has a plan He makes away. So 2005 was the first year I went to Africa, I went home from that trip with a calling on my life to reach, serve, nurture and love the children of Africa. I spent six months living in Mozambique, Africa I returned with an even greater passion to reach the unforgotten children around the world. After returning from Africa I co-founded Red Thread Ministries to help those who are without means to help themselves. We work with children domestic and international, sharing the love of Jesus.
