You Never Know Who is Watching!

I received a text message earlier this week from my niece, asking me a question I didn't see coming. It was an awesome question and one that I was very eager to answer.

Let me set the stage for you. The back story if you will.

My niece is a starting varsity pitcher for our local high school girls softball team. She is very good and very  talented! She told me a little while ago that when she pitches she recites a Bible verse before every pitch. How awesome is that! A high school softball player reciting a Bible verse while pitching in a game. I was blown away!

So now for the question. She texted me and told me that for the last two years she had been reciting the same verse, and now she wanted a new one. One that had to deal with strength. She wanted to know if I knew of one. Wow! I was beside my self. Of course I knew of some. I emailed her two or three of them and I gave her my favorite one. Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

I texted her this past Wednesday to see which one if any she had decided to use, and which one had she used in the past. She told me that for the last two years she had been using John 3:16, but she wanted one more relevant to her situation. She told me that she has them all written down on a piece of paper and puts them in her back pocket while she is playing. The one that she recites is the one from Philippians. AWESOME!! I am moved beyond belief that she reached out to me for scripture verses. That just goes to show...Live and act like Jesus at all times. You never know who is watching you.
God bless my niece!
