  MiLO25 - Blog 8 Step Back And Take A Look And You’ll See Jesus All Over It! Walk In the security of the one who loves you.  One of the hardest things for most to do is to take the time to reflect. For most of us it is extremely difficult to be still, to pause or step back; in fact if you polled most people and they would take the time to honestly answer, you’d get the largest response or answer of “I don’t know how to do that” or “It is so hard for me to rest, let alone to pause or be still.” I think that is mankind’s problem since the fall. We are too anxious to be still, don’t want to be considered lazy so we don’t pause, and need to be remain busy and can’t step back to see the bigger picture.   In Exodus 14, God told Moses to tell the people to “be still, now move; why are you still standing here”. They had come up to the Red Sea in front of them and Pharaoh’s army behind them and they felt trapped. To be still is a matter of comfort in the heart and peace...

  MiLO25 - Blog 7 What Do You Do When You Get Thrown A Curveball! The best thing to do is admit your skills aren’t adequate enough to handle the pitch, step out of the box, take a deep breath, then turn and hand God the bat and allow Him to DH and handle the situation from there. Life is full of curveballs and situations you weren’t ready for. The hardest thing to do is to admit you need help, and the next hardest is to ask for it. Often we think, "I got this" and immediately step back in the box and think we are ready, but in reality we are not. All of us who have placed our trust and faith in Jesus have the greatest hitter of all time, the Hall of Famer of all Hall of Famer’s, who has a .1000 batting average, and yet we don’t let Him step in for us! Like all MiLO’s, this years is no different than the ones we have had in the past 19 years. Curveballs come toward us and things happen we hadn’t planned, or something happens we didn’t expect. For new players on the team and ev...

  MiLO25 - Blog 6 Success Should Never Be Measured By Human Standards When It Comes To God’s Work The Texas Day Carnival may not have had as many people as we’ve had in most years past, but God opened up many eyes to witness what He wanted seen. For those who came as well as for our team. Never know where or how God will show up. You just have to step back, pause, to be still and observe what He creates. Texas Carnival We had a lot of competition this year that may have removed numbers from attending, but smiles were prevalent on everyone and enlightenment came to many who had never been before. First, there was a huge patriotic concert in Zagreb the same night and they had sold over 500,000 tickets. There are less than 4,000,000, people in the entire country of Croatia, and they were traveling from all over the country, including Sisak. It was also extremely hot when we started at 6:00, which made people hold off coming until 7:00 when it started to cool a bit. I had a couple with...

  MiLO25 Blog 5 Blink and It’s Over:Take a Deep Breath to Remember. So hard to believe how quickly days fly by and before you know it the team God brought together starts to head back home. Guess what, more days have flown by since I wrote that first paragraph. I’m so tired and wiped out from the daily activities.  Because the days are filled, I’m having trouble getting everything written down. So, I’m going to give you a fly-over on this blog and the next so I can get caught up on the days I’m behind. I can say this:  we have been so blessed with the doors God has opened wider and the new doors He has created. Baseball/Softball Camp On Thursday of camp the Sisak Storks baseball/softball club held a barbecue for us to let us know how much they appreciated us and wow what a celebration it was. Many parents and so much great food guaranteeing none of us went home hungry. Leftovers were actually forced into our hands and we enjoyed a few more days after! Rotar...
