Dear friends and family,has God ever thrown you a curve ball? My son and I have been playing pitch and catch recently.

I was teaching him how to throw a curve ball, in softball that is. He had a hard time catching the ball, not because I threw it fast, but rather because I threw the ball so wildly! It’s been a few years.

Have you ever passed through a period in your life where you were going in one direction and suddenly things just changed? Have you ever been tested by God in one area then unexpectedly, the outcome was very different to what you thought God had promised you, maybe even contrary?



We are big believers in faith and the power of prayer but what happens when things don’t turn out like you planned? I believe that beyond any manmade idea or arrangement, God will use His creativity to make His divine purpose come to pass in each of our lives. God is more interested in my character than in my gifts or even my prosperity. How will I react? Will I lose faith or face the curve ball head on? I am convinced that whatever valley, mountain, decision or situation we face, if we allow Him, God will be in control. Exodus 3:10 God said to Moses, “I am sending you to Pharoah to bring my people out of Egypt.” Just read Exodus and find out all of the “curve balls” Moses encountered. Yet God also added, “I will be with you. And this will be a sign to you that it is I who sent you.”

Hey, pitcher, pitcher, throw me your best curve!

Keep your vision,
