Old and New Testament Reading.

I can do everything through him who gives me strength.  

Philippians 4:13

I think many times through our lives and even our days.. we forget what we can do or forget to even Just Try. I think we often put things off for a better time, for when we have more time, or Just because we don't feel we have the ability to do something. But We can! If you Believe, and I do hate to sound cliche.. but if you Believe Hard enough... You can. Now.. BELIEVE... Believe in your goal Yes.. But Believe in the Word, Believe in God, Believe we are saved and you WILL have the Strength you need to do ANYTHING! You WILL have HIS STRENGTH to push you thru. 

Now.. today my oldest son Read the Old and New testament readings for today at church. Now he is amazing because when I ask him if he could do stuff like this He will say " Nah Ma. I dont think I would be good at that. I don't want to do it. " and I say "How will you EVER Know if you are good at something if you keep shutting it down before you even try it?" He said "Nah Ma, I will mix up the words and I will mess up while I'm up there." I said, "You speak VERY well for your age. People are there not to Judge you reading the word. But to hear the word." He said, "Okay Ma, Ill try it." SOOOoo he practiced and then Today came.. and HE DID AMAZING! He took a deep breath before starting like I told him he should do. And Read it without flaw! a little cough and a little throat clear.. but he nailed all the words and the LORD GAVE HIM THE STRENGTH to Make it all the way till the end and it Made sense. He was scared at first there was no doubt in my mind. As we were leaving the church I lost count of the number of people that came up to him and expressed how great he did. I'm so proud of my son, He took something he was nervous in.. He Believed IN the old and New testament he was reading and God gave him strength to do an amazing job. 

Hugs!
