Facing The Giants

If you've never seen Facing The Giants then it belongs on your TO WATCH list.

My parents gave me the movie last year, and I watched it three times that first month.

We watched it tonight with the kids, and then I watched it again because I didn't get to finish it with them. It is a great movie, with an incredible message.

I wanted to share the scripture that Coach Grant Taylor reads at the turning point in the movie. I think it can apply to you no matter what situation or giants you are facing today.

1 I love you, O LORD, my strength.

2 The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;
my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge.
He is my shield and the horn [a] of my salvation, my stronghold.

3 I call to the LORD, who is worthy of praise,
and I am saved from my enemies.

Psalm 18:1-3

My rock, my fortress and my deliverer.


By the way- if you can watch the movie without crying, I pronounce you a robot.



A Really Lousy Blogger...

I know, I know... I'm really bad at this.

I know many(four) of you check in here on a regular basis, and I've been letting you down.

If you didn't already know, Janelle is a GREAT! blogger. If you haven't been, she's linked on the right of this page, or you can just click HERE.

As for the rest of us-
-Kids started school last week. (reference SPCMM for pictures.)
-I love my job/ministry! I can't wait to get to work every day.
-I love where we live!


As for prayer requests-
-Pray for me as I am in the middle of planning for the next year, putting together a calendar.
-Pray for the kids as they get into the routine at school, make friends, etc.
-Pray for Janelle as she gets involved in PWOC (Protestant Women of the Chapel), that she would enjoy her time and get to know the ladies.
-We're still praying for a second car. God is faithful!

I really, really, really promise... I'll try to post more often.
