We met our goal as a team of winning four in a row! As a reward, coach decided to give us 3 full days off from practice. In case you were wondering, that is super rare to get that many days off at this point of the season; we have Sunday through Tuesday off. The game was a hard fought game, and we came out on top!! After the game I went over to a family's house from church for dinner...the food was amazing!!! :)
I have actually decided to go to Athens, Greece to visit a friend who I played with down in San Antonio. Erin Perperoglu and her husband live in Athens. I am excited to see them and get to go to another country I have never been to before. It was pretty amazing how the Lord worked everything out. I will for sure take pictures :)
As a result of going to Athens for a few days, I will not be blogging until I get back. So, expect a blog Tuesday night or Wednesday. It is going to be a mini-vacation for me all the way around :)
I hope you all have a great rest of the weekend!!

Verse of the day:
It is God's will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish men. Live as free men, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as servants of God.— 1 Peter 2:15-16 (NIV)
Thoughts on Today's Verse...What does the world most need to hear from me today? A life tuned to the melody of grace that I claim I believe. Doing good, being like Christ, is Peter's answer to opposition, cynicism, and even persecution. We are free in Jesus, but being free means that we don't have to pretentiously prove we are free. Instead, we can live for him who died to conquer death and renounced absolute heavenly freedom so we could find it. We are free to serve others, and most of all to serve God.
My Utmost For His Highest:
Jesus Christ wants our absolute, unrestrained devotion to Himself. We can never experience Jesus Christ, or selfishly bind Him in the confines of our own hearts. Our faith must be built on strong determined confidence in Him.
It is because of our trusting in experience that we see the steadfast impatience of the Holy Spirit against unbelief. All of our fears are sinful, and we create our own fears by refusing to nourish ourselves in our faith. How can anyone who is identified with Jesus Christ suffer from doubt or fear! Our lives should be an absolute hymn of praise resulting from perfect, irrepressible, triumphant belief.
WOW!!
Our Daily Bread:
We were so valued that He sent His Son to pay the price for our sins and to allow us to have a relationship with Him. We were created in the image of God (Gen. 1:27), and He has designed us and been involved in every detail of our life since before we were born (Ps. 139:1-16). Whether or not we always feel significant, we are deeply loved by our Father.
Of all creation’s treasures rare,
Not one compares in worth with man,
In God’s own image we were made
To fill a place in His great plan. —D. De Haan
The God who created the universe is the God who loves you.
