Inspirational sayings for my students

Today, some of my students will be playing their first tennis match and im excited and nervous for them.  I have a tradition of writing a short note and sharing some words of encouragement to them that is personal and unique to just them.  Below are some of the quotes i used this year.

Please say a prayer for these young/future leaders of our church as they play their first match.  I pray that regardless of the score and outcome, that they always seek and reflect God’s glory.  Im nervous for them!!! -PJSLB

A calm feeling in the midst of a storm

flat800x800075f-u2

There are days when i feel the weight on my shoulders.  On those days, i find myself prayer just a little more harder and listen just a little more attentively to the voice of God.   On those days, I need (trust) the Lord to get me thru to the other side.

Today is definitely not one of those days.  Yes, I have quite a few uncertainty in my life and yes, I find myself at times alone and confused.  But today I have a very say calm about life and about myself.  I have felt it before and I know that its a feeling from the Holy Spirit.  In my heart i feel that “everything will be alright for i am in control”.  I acknowledge that and thank you lord for it.  In Jesus Name, Amen -PJSLB

 

Mark 4:35-41 New International Version (NIV)

Jesus Calms the Storm

35 That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side.” 36 Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him. 37 A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. 38 Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, “Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?”

39 He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.

40 He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?”

41 They were terrified and asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!”
