Heaven

HEAVEN. . . is there any other place like it?  today we did another lesson in the Blazing Center by John Piper, he did a really awesome job at doing it.  one of my favorite parts was when he was talking about heaven.

'Heaven is not a huge golf course,
Or a huge mansion where we sleep in all day'

heaven is a place where we will spend the rest of our days glorifying God. . . i can't wait to join the angels and sing my heaven song.


You wrote a letter and You signed your name 
I read every word of it page by page 
You said that You'd be coming, coming for me soon 
Oh my God I'll be ready for You 

I want to run on greener pastures 
I want to dance on higher hills 
I want to drink from sweeter waters 
In the misty morning chill 
And my soul is getting restless 
For the place where I belong 
I can't wait to join the angels and sing my heaven song 

I hear Your voice and I catch my breath 
'Well done my child, enter in and rest' 
Tears of joy roll down my cheek 
It's beautiful beyond my wildest dreams 

I want to run on greener pastures 
I want to dance on higher hills 
I want to drink from sweeter waters 
In the misty morning chill
And my soul is getting restless
For the place where I belong
I can't wait to join the angels and sing...

I want to run on greener pastures
I want to dance on higher hills
I want to drink from sweeter waters
In the misty morning chill
And my soul is getting restless
For the place where I belong
I can't wait to join the angels and sing
No, I cant wait to join the angels and sing. . . my heaven song

Little is Much

What is the measure of a life well lived
If all I can offer seems too small to give
This is a song for the weaker, the poorer
And so-called failures

Little is much when God's in it
And no one can fathom the plans He holds
Little is much when God's in it
He changes the world with the seeds we sow
Little is much, little is much

Who feels tired and under-qualified
Who feels deserted, and hung out to dry
This is a song for the broken, the beat-up
And so-called losers

Little is much when God's in it
And no one can fathom the plans He holds
Little is much when God's in it
He changes the world with the seeds we sow
Little is much, little is much


Consider a Kingdom in the smallest seed
Consider that giants fall to stones and slings
Consider a child in a manger
Consider the story isn't over
What can be done with what you still have

Little is much when God's in it
And no one can fathom the plans He holds
Little is much when God's in it
He changes the world with the seeds we sow
Little is much, little is much

this is an awesome song, it's just a constant reminder that 'God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.
Little is much... when God's in it.

pumpkins, paint, and band-aids

we had a pumpkin carving contest with our cousins and fam, this was my favorite

 also today we went paintballing with dan and bobby. (L to R, dan, kaleb, kade, kwinn, kole, bobby, and i'm taking the pic

 you can kinda see the paint that kade brought home, he was a beast out there

 you can kinda see the band-aid that is on my hand.  that's all i got today. along with my record of only getting shot once, only losing twice, only surrendered once (otherwise it would have been a point-blank shoot-out with my cousin dan (who is a police officer)) and killed seven people.  i did pretty okay. . .

hope ya'll like the pics!

it's okay *pat on the back, sigh*

so we got crushed today by bentonville. . . you don't even want to know the score.  okay, it was 10-2, but when we're playing for God's glory it doesn't matter if we win or if we lose.  it only matters if we play fairly(i'm not saying all our team were playing like they were playing for God or anything).  oh, and btw, one of my best bros, nathan hastings, really hurt his ankle tonight trying to volley the ball.  please pray for him, he's an awesome dude!  he's the one going with kade to ecuador in november

FINALLY!!!

so it is finally turning fall out here.  it came so quickly that i didn't recognize it until yesterday.  i took these on the way to church.

i thought they were pretty cool.

Ky

the conclusion. . . (drum roll)

okay so here comes the question. . . who won today?  well i'll tell you.  three minutes into the game kole had already scored two, we hit six, kade took a crack from half field and made an amazing goal.  then for some reason we let them put in three goals.  the score stays the same until the last minute of the game. . . (hush! i'm making the tension grow!)  kendra, the only girl on our team, in fact only a guest player, put one between the goalies legs, we were up!!!  (for now)  eureka springs got the ball on the kick-off, they were dribbling up the field, then they were in the box!  comes the shot!  deflected by the goalie.  punted out to safety and we had won!!! 

The Spartans!

                                         I know. . . it doesn't seem like I'm having a good time.

                                                           The Woodell Spartans.

The Manly Spartan grip. and that's kole my older brother. he's probably the best player on our team, his is SO STINKING FAST!
