Baseball, Baseball, Baseball!!!

Have I mentioned that baseball season is underway? Wow!! Colby has already completed his JV season with about 25 games. Now, all three Cannon boys are playing baseball! We have something at the baseball field almost every night...if not a game, then we have practice and sometimes both!! We are busy with baseball. Have I said that yet? However, it is a blast!! Jeremiah is wide open in his tee-ball with his hitting, fielding and "Pete Rose" head first slides!! Micah is doing awesome with his baseball. It looks like he is following Colby in the pitching position. He pitched his first game last week and did very well. He is also playing shortstop. Colby is now playing rec. ball and doing very well pitching!! I can't leave out Savannah. She is involved in her vocal groups at school. They are getting ready for a competition in Orlando. So you see, Shannon and I spend our time running taxi for the kids!! WE LOVE IT!!!

Are You Believing God?

Wow...what a question! It sure is easy to answer this question verbally with a yes, but so much harder to live it out day to day in life. God is challenging me in amazing ways lately. My wife and I are doing a Bible Study together right now in our home entitled "Believing God" by Beth Moore. It is an incredible study. I am being reminded that God's power in my life only comes as I continually know and believe Him. Believing is an action word that is continually happening!

As His children God has given us the permission and faith to believe Him.

[11]In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, [12] in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory. [13] And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, [14] who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession--to the praise of his glory. [15] For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, [16] I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. [17] I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. [18] I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, [19] and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, [20] which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, [21] far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. [22] And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, [23] which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way. (Ephesians 1:11-23 NIV)

I want to share with you five statements that I am being challenged with that are helping me understand what I am believing God about:

1. God is Who He says He is!
2. God can do what He says He can do!
3. I am who God says I am!
4. I can do all things through Christ!
5. God's Word is Active and Alive in me!
