  Summer MiLO Blog 5 Catch Your Breath and Hang On When you pray for God’s direction and prepare to execute those plans, you need to write your plans in pencil and hand God the eraser and see if He has any changes that need to be made. Writing those plans in ink will almost always end in frustration when they need to be adjusted or changed; but writing them in pencil and giving God the eraser reminds you those plans are His and He has control of them.  “A man’s heart plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps” Proverbs 16:9 As week 3 began, July 7-13, several team members headed back home and we had one new member join us.

  Loving Them Where They Are and 'Till They Ask Why What a blur this past weekend has been. It’s like the old TV show Flash; you could see him and then there was this blur and he was off running so fast you couldn’t see him until he stopped. Then he was in a different location in a matter of seconds taking care of something else that needed his attention. FLASH, it’s been a week and God has moved amongst our team and with those around us. Problem is my mind has trouble capturing all those amazing moments God created, but I’ll try and capture a few, to hopefully help you feel and see what God has allowed us to feel and see! First of all, our prayers have been on our families and the people of Houston with the difficulties of the hurricane Beryl. It is tough to be overseas when your families are going through what they are back home.    Football Our football coaches returned Friday after a series of practices on the coast with the Split Sea Wolves and having the opportunity...
