Today has been a good day here! We had practice and then I was able to hang out with Andja a little bit. We lost our power for about an hour this evening which wasn't fun, but thankfully it came back on. I wanted to share with you some notes from a message I listened to today:
He Lives...Do You?
FISHING OR FOLLOWING?
Matt Wilmington

John 21:4-22
Keys to living a resurrected life:
1. Show him your obedience.
John 21:4-6
What is the step of obedience you need to take?
Your never going to be able to pick up a cross if you aren't willing to drop your nets.
What are the nets he wants you to put out?
2. Face the fire
- face your past, failures, etc.
What is in your "fire"?
John 21:9-13
"Little is much when God is in it"
Stop messing with fish and start fishing for people.
3. Recommit your love
John 21:15-17
"Follow me"
Jesus promises to meet us where we are. We all have made mistakes.
Jesus wants to lift us up and move forward with us!
Jesus shows Peter he loves him...love is an action. What shows love and restoration more than saying come on let's get on this team!
4. Follow Jesus forward
- John 21:20-22
- don't turn back
- don't compare yourself to other people
I am leaving for Kayersi in the morning. We will be playing on Thursday at 3:00 p.m. which is 8:00 a.m. EST. The game will be live on TV on the internet. Please click the link below and wait for awhile. Down on the right side you will see CANLI YAYIN (means live stream) in a little window. The live link starts and you should be able to watch it on a big screen, but you have to use a laptop not a phone.
