This fall a group of girls 5th-8th grade asked about having a volleyball team. After praying about the details (Could all the girls commit? Who would we play? Would the girls be too shy to play in front of others?), the Lord put it on my heart to just go ahead and start working with these girls! This week is our last week of practice and then the girls will play together as a team against a team made up of their own family members! Through this the Lord reminded me that there are times when all of the details I worried about aren’t what matters. Our God desires that we step forth in faith, offer what we have to the Lord and let Him work. Through these practices the girls and I have gotten closer and we have been able to look at different Scriptures together and grow in ways that don’t only have to do with the game of volleyball. Please keep these young ladies in your prayers going forward. They have a lot going on in life and, like all of us, need Christ. I’m thankful for the way the Lord has worked even through something as simple as volleyball. —Liz Skillen
