Just call me Grace

Last Sunday (Easter) our group of friends got together at our complex to celebrate the RISEN KING and eat together. After lunch and our Easter egg hunt (pictures posted in my previous post) we started a game of kick ball.

It was the guys vs the girls and included everyone (ages 2-35). I found out very quickly that this is a pretty competitive bunch!!

About 30 minutes into the game (which lasted 3 hours) I was playing 3rd base and attempted to get another out for my team. However, I was running barefoot and tried to stop before I got to the sidewalk...

My feet stopped but the rest of me didn't!! Oops:)

The picture really doesn't do it justice. My leg hit the edge of the sidewalk just below my knee. You can see the grass stain and the red mark right below my knee...and then that huge knot/bump thing...ouch!!

I am learning very quickly that I am not (and may never be athletic).

But I did finish playing the game...and got cool points from the guys for having an injury...nice. Matt kept saying, "Mia, does that hurt? You are so awesome!!"

Funny how guys things getting hurt is cool.

Welcome

Thanks for visiting our blog! We are students at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary (beginning our undergraduate studies). We just finished our first semester and are ready to jump into summer!! We are here preparing and being equipped to do the Lords work overseas in hopes that EVERYONE has the opportunity to receive Christ as their savior (if you have questions about this please check out the bottom of our page). Feel free to keep up with us, comment on our adventures and encourage us as we start here at SWBTS.

You were designed for something far greater than a day-to-day existence: a relationship with God.

The Bible teaches us that we are all separated from God because of sin, our own wrong thoughts and actions*. Sin leads to death and hell*, and none of our good works can change that*.

But there's good news! Jesus Christ paid for our sin by His death on the cross*. Through faith in Him, and Him alone, we can be reconciled with God here-and-now* and live in heaven with Him forever*.

Not only that, but God promises to change us from the inside-out*, to free us from the bondage of sin through the Holy Spirit*, and to give our lives meaning and purpose* as we learn to live for Him instead of ourselves*. We can deepen our relationship with God by spending time with Him through prayer, worship, and Bible study, by obeying His teachings, and by meeting with other believers.
