St. George, Utah (2013)
Philippians 4:13 is inscribed in the bill of Kyle's baseball hat. He wrote it himself. I love that! A constant reminder, on top of his head, of all he can do with God's help.
This weekend we traveled 650 miles to attend a baseball scouting event. Kyle arrived to play on a team he's never played on, with a bunch of players he didn't know, in front of a few college scouts. He could do all this with God's strength.
Kyle worked on his homework, both coming and going, to make sure he had everything done that he needed done to go to school yesterday. That was even after playing 6-7 hours of baseball. He did all that with God's strength.
Then, after arriving home at 2:00 am, Kyle still got up at 6:30 am to go to school. All in God's strength!
Each day our kids face all sorts of obstacles and challenges. and if they can say "I can do all this through him who gives me strength", they will be able to accomplish more than they could ever imagine.
Lord, I pray that Alyssa and Kyle hold on to the truth that they can do all things with you as their strength. As they face obstacles, challenges and difficulties may they fix their eyes on you as their help. Alyssa and Kyle can go many places and do things unimaginable with you by their side. You, Lord, are their refuge and strength, and their ever present help in trouble. Thank you, Lord, for your abiding presence with our children.
