Morning Motivation #6

“It is not the critic who counts;
not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles,
or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena,
whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood,
who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again;
because there is not effort without error and shortcomings;
but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm,
the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause,
who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who
at worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly.
So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls
who know neither victory nor defeat.”

Today~ Dare to be great at what you do, take the chance , get in the arena, spend yourself today on the purposes God made you for...

“The greatest power a person possesses is the power to choose.”
~J. Martin Kohe

What will you "choose" today to do?

“then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your forefathers served beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD." Joshua 24:15

Choose to live your life with purpose and be who God made you to be~

Morning Motivation #4

“It is not what a man does that determines
whether his work is sacred or secular; it is why he does it.”
A. W. Tozer

May you choose today to make your “work” sacred!

Be who God made you to be~

We love our SENIORS

It is really hard for me to believe that Steph, Kels, and Jess are SENIORS! They are 3 truly amazing young women who are filled with love for their teammates and on fire for the Lord! I can't wait to see what they do this season on and off the court. The verse that they picked for our team this year I think is a great representation of how each of them choose to live their daily lives.

"But I have raised you up for this very purpose, that I might show you my power and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth." Ex. 9:16

“To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream;
not only plan, but also believe”
Anatole France
Be who God made you to be today, dream big and believe it can happen!

Morning Motivation #3

Each of us has the ability to touch and influence other lives….

“Everyone is a leader to someone”
Tracy Brinkman

Who is your “someone”?

The co-worker you stand beside?

The student you teach?

The player you coach?

The teammate beside you?

And what would they say about you?

That you cared for them personally
That you valued them as people over what they do for you
That integrity and character is still alive- in you!

“If your actions inspire others to dream more,
learn more, do more and become more,

you are a leader.”
John Quincy Adams

Be the leader God called you to be- today!

Morning Motivation #2

Remember today:

You are not an accident. You aren’t an assembly line product.
You were deliberately planned, specifically gifted, and lovingly positioned on this earth by the Master Craftsman.
Max Lucado

Today- use the gifts that God has given you to make a difference.
Today- be the difference in a student, player or co-worker’s life.
Today- be who God made you to be and be a blessing~

Morning Motivation #1

God will use whatever He wants to display His glory.
Heavens and stars. History and nations.
People and problems. Babies and adults.

Be who God made you to be today~

Volleyball team volunteers to help

The team took a break and helped out in the highschool moving classes around to get ready for the start of school.

Is moving boxes really better than being in practice?

A little freshman fun~




Spanish class memories

We had a great time taking a little time away from practice to help out and serve the highschool office.
