Just wanted to write a quick note to let you know that we made it safe to Burhaniye. We will play tomorrow at 2:00 p.m., which is 7:00 a.m. EST. Our hotel is right on the Mediterranean Sea, so I plan on taking some pictures tomorrow morning :)

I hope you all have a great weekend! I will not post tomorrow, because we will not be getting back until late, but I plan on writing a blog on Sunday!!

Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.— Psalm 107:1 (NIV)
Thoughts on Today's Verse...What do we have that won't wear out, break, die, go out of style, or need repair? We can rejoice and give thanks, because our life and our future are tied to the Eternal Father, the creator of the heavens and maker of our world. Not only is God good, he is good to us. But more than just being good, he is loving and his love will not wear out, grow old, fade away, or need repair.
My Utmost For His Highest:
We will have times of despair caused by real events in our lives, and we will be unable to lift ourselves out of them. The disciples, in this instance, had done a downright unthinkable thing— they had gone to sleep instead of watching with Jesus. But our Lord came to them taking the spiritual initiative against their despair and said, in effect, “Get up, and do the next thing.” If we are inspired by God, what is the next thing? It is to trust Him absolutely and to pray on the basis of His redemption.
Never let the sense of past failure defeat your next step.
Our Daily Bread:
Often it’s challenging to make the most excellent choice, especially if there aren’t many others joining us. Sometimes it may feel as if our desires and freedoms have been suppressed. But if you follow Paul’s advice, you’ll notice some really positive outcomes—like being pure and blameless and fruitful (v.11).
Make the choice to live a life filled with love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Gal. 5:22-23). Then revel in the result!
