Somersaults

 

In The Garden

Pray for Thornaby. Pray that the kids in that area would KNOW the great & endless love that Christ has for them, and that they would truly understand the meaning & the power of the Gospel. Mon--Thurs of this week we have been sowing seeds in Victoria Park of Thornaby at our Wild Wild West Kids Club. Oh how quickly my heart has come to love these kids--Demi, Chloe, Grace, Lilly, Zoe, Kaitlyn, Olivia & so many more--I want them to KNOW Christ!!!

Thornaby is an immensely dark area. The kids told us it's considered "not normal" if there's not at least one fight a day there. We were pioneers in hosting a Kids Club in the area, & I truly believe Thornaby has been forever changed--changed not because of anything WE did, but only because the Holy Spirit has begun to stir up "dry bones" & these people are now seeing glimpses of the love of Christ.

Ezekiel 37

"The hand of the Lord was on me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of the Lord and set me in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones. ² He led me back and forth among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry. ³ He asked me, “Son of man, can these bones live?”

I said, “Sovereign Lord, you alone know. ”

⁴ Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones and say to them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! ⁵ This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones: I will make breath^[a] enter you, and you will come to life. ⁶ I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord. ’”

My heart breaks for these kids when i look into their eyes and into their lives. I pray that they would "taste and see that the Lord is good"...And that there is NO greater love than the love of Christ.

 We have also been going to Thornaby Academy, working alongside a team from Texarkana, and running Sports for the kids as well as telling them about our faith. All of the kids LOVE that we are American, and always guess that I am only 17 years old.

in an others company

by the sea
when i go out to the pier
gonna dive and have no fear"

I live with nine of the most talented people I've probably ever met. In the Birkdale House we have five musicians, two of which have written and recorded incredible songs; a National Geographic caliber photographer; a brilliant play-write; a somersault/useful life-skills extraordinaire; a website designer; & lit-erally the best dancing "cowboy" I've ever met. We've been teaching each other our respective skills--and today, yes today, Elaina, Savannah & I learned to Somersault.
