Outreach at the skate park

This last weekend a few kids from our youth group and our church went to the event taking place at the skate park. They brought in JSAW-Called into Action and the mission and vision of JSAW is:

Mission: Transforming action sports culture by reaching youth

Vision: Helping others to create positive environments within action sports culture where youth can be introduced to Jesus Christ and enter into discipleship.

JSAW then partnered up with Siren Pro, Zac Archuleta. It was a very neat experience watching these skate boarders. As a mom my heart was beating fast anytime there was a fall. It was neat to see the wide variety of ages participate in this event. I was shocked at how young some of these boarders were.

We went to simple hand out free hot-dogs and allow the Holy Spirit to move us and use us when ever. I had one young boy come and get a hot-dog from me and I asked him if he was competing. He said he was not able to compete due to a pinched nerve in his back. He then walked away and I sat there thinking, sorry God you wanted me to pray for that young man and his pinched nerve. Quickly after I thought that he came back over to get more ketchup and I asked him if he was in pain and he replied "yep it kinda is always achey." Then I asked him if I could pray for him and he paused and then said "I think that will be alright." So I prayed for him to recieve healing. I could tell he was out of his comfort zone but I have been praying for him and praying seeds were planted. :)

After the kids competed in different experience levels they had the pro skater, Zac come up and speak and give his testimony. It was fantastic! There had to of been about 20 kids raise their hand for salvation! :) AMEN n AMEN! Hubby and I are hoping to get down to the skate park more and develop relationships with these kids and hope that they will come to youth group or church some time! :)

After the talk all the kids were in for a surprise...BLESSING!! CCS is skateboard company and at first they were going to give away a couple skate boards but when they heard what we were doing they got ALL the kids a new deck n wheels! You should have seen the excitement... WOWZERS! They were so thrilled it was fun!

Overall, I know God used me and I know he is not done with that young man! I am believing in healing and salvation for him!

This boy was very young and very good!

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

Description: The first book in The Reading Game learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender. It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long. It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words. These are broken down into six sets of five words. The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game. Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory. Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not). Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Common Mistakes Made When Writing a Will

Writing a will should, by all means, be a simple thing. You want to make sure that your assets are being left to your loved ones and that your final wishes are being fulfilled. Usually, they are rather straightforward, but that doesn’t mean that they are entirely foolproof. Here, we’re going to look at some common issues that can lead to disputes or delays in carrying out your will. Image - CC0 License Not Having It Witnessed Correctly One of the most common mistakes when writing a will is not having it witnessed correctly. Wills generally require the signatures of at least two witnesses who are not beneficiaries or spouses of beneficiaries. If the will is not witnessed in accordance with legal requirements, it may be declared invalid, meaning your estate would be distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. It’s important to follow the witnessing procedures exactly as outlined in your jurisdiction to ensure the will is legally enforceable. Chan...
