NYWC!!

Woo Hoo!!!! I am so fired up this morning! I am leaving in thirty minutes for Nashville!! I am heading to National Youth Workers Convention to hopefully be fed from some awesome worship, learn from some great teachers but most importantly I get to hang the entire weekend with DH, Fritz, and Clinton! It is going to be such an awesome weekend, good for us all to get away and just spend some time together!

However, as I was reading my Word this morning, and doing my devo's listening to Charlie Hall- one of the sentences in his song "Marvelous Light" really struck me-

"Sin has lost its power, Death has lost its sting, FROM THE GRAVE HE'S RISEN VICTORIOUSLY!"

Those words really spoke to me, and just reminded me of the amazing power and love our Savior has for us! It reminded me of the amazing victory we have in Christ! We are fighting battles day to day in this world, but our CITIZENSHIP (phil 3:20) is found in HEAVEN!!! Our reward is far greater than any trial, or tribulation we will face here on earth! As the battles continue to come our way, remember the WAR has already won and we are fighting for the GREAT VICTOR!! There is victory in every trial, and blessing in every tribulation. We as followers of Christ are called not to look to the mountian but to the mountain mover! We are called to look not at the water in front of us, but how Jesus walked ON THE WATER. We are called not to look at the problems in our lives, but the victories that Jesus provides each and every day! I will write this weekend I am sure- pray for fellowship, and growth! Have a great day rejoicing in Christ's victories!!

Be Blessed,
Toe's

I am sooooo jealous! Have a great time.

Make sure to sit in the front row, go to all the break-out sessions and write down everything you hear, for those of us who can't go.

And make sure Daniel Wayne doesn't skip a meal.

And give him a huge hug for me and reester.

Got all that? :)
