Race to Win
              1st Corinthians 9:25 "And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown."
 Someone who wants to win a race or whatever they're competing in, will train and train hard. No one who competes in something will go in without some kind of training. I ought to train myself in the word that I might receive the prize of an imperishable crown. All who believe in Jesus are going to heaven but, who is willing to go all out for Jesus? You can cruise your way there ignoring what God would want you to do, He doesn't need us to work for Him we get to, or you could ask His will upon your life. I did and now I'm here in Guatemala! We've done some street ministry here and some people gave their lives to the Lord! Even if they are the only ones to give their lives to God, this whole trip would be worth it just for them. Even if only one person were saved by the end of this trip, it would be worth it. Serving God isn't complicated, all I have to do is what He says to do and He will do the rest.
               During the skit on the street, I didn't have to do anything but act out a mime. No talking, just silent acting. I didn't need to know the language, I just needed to act. I must admit I got stage fright all the way up to the point of starting, but when I started acting all fear flew away. It's like that in life as well. God tells us to do something and until we start doing it we will be afraid to do it. However, once we start doing it, all fear goes away. So start training, there is a long race ahead. As for me, I plan on racing to win!
               Praise God for saving lives.
