My Testimony

I think everyone is on this earth for a reason. This is my testimony. I enjoy playing baseball, and I just finished playing on the all-star team at Maryville Little League. My team won the district and advanced to the state championship. I feel that God helped me and my team a lot. At times, I had the opportunity to pitch for my team. I was excited to be able to pitch, but I also felt a little nervous. So before each game, I would pray for both teams and the coaches. My mom and I would also pray and ask God to give me strength and wisdom. We also had a Bible verse that we used that would remind me that God is always with me, Ephesians 6:10-17,
Finally, let the Lord make you strong. Depend on his mighty power. Put on all God’s armor. Then you can stand firm against the devil’s evil plans. Our fight is not against human beings. It is against the rulers, the authorities and the powers of this dark world. It is against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly world. So put on all of God’s armor. Evil days will come. But you will be able to stand up to anything. And after you have done everything you can, you will still be standing. So stand firm. Put the belt of truth around your waist. Put the armor of godliness on your chest. Wear on your feet what will prepare you to tell the good news of peace. Also, pickup the shield of faith. With it you can put out all of the flaming arrows of the evil one. Put on the helmet of salvation. And take the sword of the Holy Spirit. The sword is God’s word.
In the end, we did not win the state championship, but I learned I could depend on God for everything. As I said, God helps me in many ways. He helps me in school, with sports and basically everything in my life.
Periodically we will feature a contribution from our children here on the website. Please encourage them and pray for them.
