Day #363

Joshua 1:9 says "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go." (NIV)

Last week Kristi & I were asked to be the devotional parents/coaches for Nathan's Upward Basketball team. I thought about it for a bit before making my decision and I also had to check with Kristi to see if she was game.
My first thoughts were what if I can't do this right, am I the right person for this? What if I mess up. This was new territory for me. I was kind of scared/uneasy. We decided to go ahead and take that step and do this together. Tuesday was our first night and as Kristi and I were were going through the devotion it had the above verse in it and the virtue word was COURAGE. Then it kind of dawned on me when we were done, that that scripture applies to adults as well as the kids we are working with!

All we have to do is have the faith & courage to take that step, and know that God will be with us! No matter what.

Probably one of the most important things we can teach our children.. Courage!
