Another great thing about the summer is the chance to hang out with some really cool kids. Some of my former soccer players have become really close friends and young 'brothers,' and it is my honor to serve as a mentor to them.
Every time we hang out, God opens the door for some incredible conversations and opportunities for teaching and trust. Rarely are there moments of weeping and/or quiet prayer (in fact, this has never happened), but there are always times when God provides a powerful moment for TRUTH and EXPERIENCE. As a Spirit-filled person, all I need to do is humble myself, get out of the way, and let the Lord use my life and His Word as all the inspiration and instruction these young lives need to succeed.
I am so very grateful to be a Christian and to be so effectively used by the Creator of the universe to love others in His name.
