Wednesday Update

This morning Amber, Austin, and I had the privilege of going to Mom and Dad's church, FBC Silsbee, to help with their Vacation Bible School. Momma asked me to share the plan of salvation again this year on their ABC day. I absolutely love this opportunity! Today I shared three different times a very simple illustration of the gospel. I don't know how many committed their lives to Jesus today but I do know that God spoke to the hearts of many kids today. I am thankful to be used as a tool of God. We then traveled to Casa Ole for lunch and enjoyed a meal with my family. Following that, I got to relax some with a newfound friend, Jeff Martin, playing some basketball on Xbox. Yes, I know it seems a bit childish but it is nice from time to time to just relax and hang out. From there Austin and I went to the church to get ready for VBS where I truly believe God tested me after I had a wonderful day and I failed miserably. Scripture teaches me that God allows trials into my life to grow me. It's great to read in scripture but difficult to live out. My attitude must change. I must work to be more like Jesus. I am not "good enough". I must continue to battle 1 Corinthians 9:27 style. After a late but great night I hope to go and love on some of our students at ETBE tomorrow. Finding time to do it all is tough but it is worth it. I miss those kids yet I couldn't be more proud of them. Getting to meet Joey Romero tonight, their Ghana trip leader, really got me excited about what God is sound in their lives all summer long. I hope each year we send that many students from our student ministry to do God's work. God is good.
