Today I woke up and went to church. I was bound and determined to go :) I had not been able to go since coming back over here. Unfortunately the service was all in Turkish, but it was great to be in the House of the Lord again!
This week will be a busy week. We play on Wednesday and then on Sunday, so 3 games in about a span of one week. We play Istanbul University on Wednesday and Ceyhan on Sunday.
This afternoon I did some laundry and baked some bread for one of my teammates because it was her birthday today! Some of us also went out to dinner with Whit (girl who had a birthday)...it was a lot of fun!
Here is a link to some pictures I took of the cake, teammates, and some of the food we ate:

I hope you all have a wonderful week ahead :)

Today's Verse For Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again. — 2 Corinthians 5:14-15 (NIV)
Thoughts on Today's Verse...What motivates us to do what we do? What drives us to accomplish, to achieve, and to pursue even more? Paul said that love was his compelling force. What would happen in our lives if love was truly THE compelling factor in our motivation and behavior? What if our desire to love those who do not know Jesus' saving grace became our all-consuming concern? He died so that it would be! Let's not disappoint him.
My Utmost For His HIghest:
Never let a hurried lifestyle disturb the relationship of abiding in Him. This is an easy thing to allow, but we must guard against it. The most difficult lesson of the Christian life is learning how to continue “beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord . . . .”
Our Daily Bread:
When something good happens, the Lord deserves the credit, for He is the source of all that is good. Give Him the glory. Aren’t you glad He works midnights?
What may seem like coincidence
As we live out our story
Is God at work behind the scenes--
So give Him all the glory. —Sper
Seeing God at work puts a song in our heart.
