Our Sunday was filled with joy and laughter. We had a Saturday meeting with our conference Bishop Larry Herrera and his lovely wife June, and the leftovers were not only the salad and bread sticks! Good times!
Sunday School was a lively discussion, we are reading the Bible through the year and are currently in Psalms. Everyone talked about their favorite, reading aloud what touched their hearts. I was amazed that the same passage was several folk's favorites.
Corbie's special flowed out touching and melting hearts. The Lord had us pray for a young lady even before the message got started.
Pastor had a powerful word from 2 Kings 6:15-17. "There's more that stand on our side no matter what you see." Elisha's servant came out that morning and saw that they were surrounded by the enemy. His response was OH MY GOD, calling out to the Lord.
She went on to say that no matter what life throws at you or the how the enemy comes at you, our God is a BIG God. If our focus is on our problems, they seem bigger. But if our focus is on God, our problems seem small.
Ever thought about how things look in the rear view mirror as you drive away? That's how He looks as we get away from the vision, the reality of who God is. Remember though the text on the mirror, objects in the mirror may be closer than they appear. Call on Him even if it seems He is far away. Anoint my eyes Lord to see those who need to be here next Sunday.
We played volleyball so long there was no evening message.
We played five games! It was on friend! (James told me in the morning that we were going down, haaa!!!) Well, turns out he was right. T.C. won the first three games. 15-8, 15-7, and 15-12. Alec was back and they had their secret weapon, Sloan from next door. That little guy can really play! His shirt even said, power hitter. Little goober, couldn't wear his batman shirt that night!
Arlene was our hot player of the night. She served till they got tired of running after the ball. We had a newbie, Michael. He was very quiet but after he warmed up made that ball soar! TC couldn't stand still or decide who went where, in fact Smidgett wasn't paying attention and his Mom Corbie served it upside his head! It was SOOO funny several had to run for the bathroom!
I don't think Trenton ever made it over the net, he and other "power servers" kept slamming it into the net, or over our heads. Pastor tried to spike it only to get tangled up with Trenton in the net. Her earring even landed on the other side! Kuria, who does not run after it, slammed it every time it came her way. Even with a headache she popped that ball right back over the net, once Corbie actually caught it.
Tori and Bodie dropped in too, all the way from the Front Range to play!
Corbie and Starla actually crashing into one another, each wearing their orange shirts. Called it orange crush LOL!!! (see re-enactment pic below)
Play of the week: Daryn caught the ball with his toe two inches off the ground sending it flying, I kicked it a second time, then he slammed it over the net at the last second. Talk about screaming! The crowd went wild! Another wow moment was Pastor running out of bounds and saving it just above the ground. The scouts will be looking her up after that!
After three games we divided up and played another two. We all went after that ball like an obsessed dog. Nobody was staying in their place as we all raced from one side to the other. I'm talking knuckle cracking, head banging, split sliding, (Daryn 3 times!) EXTREME volleyball! Each side won once. We were exhausted but happy, limping off the court with bruises, swollen knees, and ball prints on the sides of heads.
