Struggles Within

Why must the Christian life be so hard at times? Satan works very hard to put a kink in serving God. I am thankful that this is not the end for a Christian. We have the hope of eternal life. A life rid of temptation, sin, hurt, sorrow, disappointment and evil. What a glorious time that will be. I am so thankful that God doesn't just leave us here without helping us through this life. He is ever present. "Lord, please be near to me. Guide me and sustain me. Help me to stay true and close to your side."

My New Adventure

Only five more weeks til my new adventure begins. I am now the cheerleading coach for Heritage Christian School. What an honor. I cheered for HCS when I was in high school (don't ask how long ago). Being a cheerleader at a Christian school is a lot different than a public school. We do not incorporate dance or music into any of our routines. Our goal is to cheer the team on while still being Christ-like. We use stunting and motions in our cheers. Although I am nervous, I am very excited. Our try-outs are the week of October 31-November 4. My prayer is that I will be a positive and godly example for these girls. I want them to grow into fine christian ladies who serve the Lord. I have found a Bible verse that I would like to use as a type of theme verse. It is Deuteronomy 10:12 & 13 - "And now, Israel, what doth the Lord thy God require of thee, but to fear the Lord thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, To keep the commandments of the Lord, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good?" I used these verses at teen camp this past summer and had the girls replace Israel with their name. Try rereading it and do that. Put your name in place of Israel. What powerful verses. That encompasses all that a Christian should be. That is my goal for these girls. To have fun while living for the Lord.

It is time.

Well, I am now officially on the bandwagon. A few of my friends have a blog so I thought I would give it a try too. I will try to keep up with it so that it isn't too boring.
