We are super busy right now. Along with the various unmentionables lol.. Clays spring break is next week during my last week of classes. First week of May equals the dirty word EXAMS. Then pass testing starts about the same time as spring football. I'm getting uber excited about summer. Well did you hear me say one thing about Fundraising? not a word.. Here goes it. Can't do a skating event, it would have to benefit a congregation, or organization of more than 200 people. Ok go figure. Still in the works is a 10k run/walk in Georgetown or Hemingway. There are other ideas being passed around people just haven't given those ideas "legs" yet. In this moment I realize that it isn't up to me. It's up to God. Thank you Lord for reminding me that it isn't my responsibility to get them done. You have already gone before me to make the crooked straight and in times where I can't take another step, you will carry me. Okay folks time to get a grip of the hand that hasn't let us go find our sea legs and step out the boat. Remember the joke about the three pastors:
Ph Pastor, Methodist Pastor, and the Baptist Pastor? They were fishing in One day a Methodist Pastor and a Baptist Pastor took a Ph Pastor fishing on boat.
Once in the Middle of the lake, the Methodist Pastor said" I seem to have forgotten my fishing pole, be right back" and to the visitors amazement stepped out of the boat and walked on top of the water towards the shore.When he had returned, the Baptist Pastor said "I need to use the restroom, be right back"
Again the Ph Pastor watched in amazement. Once the Baptist Pastor returned, not wanting to be outdone, the visitor said " I need to use the restroom too" As soon as he stepped out of the boat, he sank.The Methodist Pastor nudged the Baptist Pastor and said "We should have told him where the rocks were"

What does exceedingly abundantly above all mean to God?
Ephesians 3:20 (KJV) ~ Unto Him that is able He is to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we can ask or think
Bigger than all my problems, bigger than all my fears,
God is bigger than any mountain I can, or cannot, see,
Bigger than all my questions, bigger than anything,
God is bigger than any mountain I can, or cannot, see.
God is far bigger than I can ever imagine! God is a “doing” God! He is a God who is well able to do anything! He is able to do anything, far beyond our every human thought or imagination. The Bible says in Ephesians 3:20 (KJV), “Unto Him that is able He is to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we can ask or think.”
There is no impossible circumstance too far gone that God cannot minister too,
No problem too big the God cannot solve,
No sickness He cannot heal,
No miracle which God cannot do,
No prayer which He cannot answer,
No sinner too lost in their sin that God cannot save,
No back-slider too far from God that God a cannot restore,
No city too hard that God cannot bring a mighty revival too.
For our God is well able to do far above all that we ask or think…He is able to do!
If we are honest with ourselves, we must admit that we, more often than not, tend to fix our eyes on the problem. Then as we dwell on it, we allow it grow until it becomes to us this huge mountain before us. However, in the eyes of our great and awesome God, it is but a speck of dust, which He can blow away by the gentlest breath. It can become all too easy to take our eyes off the awesomeness of God, to fleetingly gaze upon the circumstances, rather than fix our eyes upon our Almighty ADONAI, our EL SHADDAI, our God who is able to do far above all we can ask or think. The Bible says this in Jeremiah 32:17 (KJV), “Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee!”
My friend, let me encourage you today with these words from Ephesians 3:20 (KJV), “Unto Him that is able He is to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we can ask or think.”
Our God is able to do whatever it is you need Him to do.
Our God is able to heal you.
Our God is able to rescue you.
Our God is able to save you.
Our God is able to meet all your needs.
Our God is able to turn things around for you.
Our God is able to restore you.
Our God is able heal your broken marriage.
Our God is able forgive you.
Our God is able to show you mercy and grace.
Our God is able answer all your prayers.
Our God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we can ask or think.
Our God is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine.
Our God is a great big God, bigger than all our problems; He is bigger than anything.
Think on this little song by Andy Griffith, but written by ‘Lange/Hearth/Burke.’
‘Who made made the mountains, who made the trees, who made rivers flow to the sea?
And who sends the rain when the earth is dry. Somebody bigger than you and I.
Who made the flowers to bloom in the spring, who made the song for the Robin’s to sing.
And who hung the moon in the stray sky, somebody bigger than you and I.
He will give you love to guide you, and He will walk beside you just as He walks with me.
When I am weary filled with despair, who gives me courage to go on from there?
And who gives me faith that will never die. Somebody bigger that you and I.
We may never grasp how awesome God is, or the enormity of God. Or even how omnipotent, omnipresent or omniscient He is. However, may we gasp the fullness of this promise from the Lord in, Ephesians 3:20 (KJV) ~ Unto Him that is able He is to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we can ask or think. Because our God is an awesome God

Just as BEAUTY is in the eyes of the beholder, so is BONDAGE.
I always have a choice in how I SEE MY LIFE.
NO ONE, and NO SITUATION can force me to be DEPRESSED or DISCOURAGED . . . angry or bitter.
These DEFORMED responses to life are ALL in my court. I can welcome them as FRIENDS, or dismiss them as the DISTRACTING ENEMIES they really are.
EVERY situation in my life is an OPPORTUNITY to see the MIRACULOUS, saving hand of God. I can live with EXCITED anticipation of how God is going to DELIVER ME out of my SEEMING predicaments, or I can wait FRETTING for the other shoe to fall.
This is ONE SITUATION where I CHOOSE to see my life from God’s point of view.

I am Suzie Owens, Coach Clay Owens' wife. We are so thankful for all you have done! You backed us when Clay so desperately fought for his life. Clay put hard work on the back of the faith it took to carry out God's plan for him. He started at 660 lbs, Clay is now half the man he once was. The surgeon told us that there weren't many people who had lost so much so fast. He has done so well. Now he is left with excess skin that is pulling at his back. Clay needs to have plastic surgery to remove excess skin from his drastic and life changing surgery.While he is in constant pain, he participated in the Cooper River Bridge Run just over 2 hours, which was a goal of his after having the gastric bypass. Clay and I are standing together in agreement to have this surgery. I fully believe God has a special plan for Clays life. Just look at what he allowed so far: raised $38,000.00 in 4 weeks for his gastric bypass in Dec 2009, lost 330lbs in a 15 months, and he has been an inspiration to coaches, friends and community members in his same position. Please stand with us as we get ready mentally and spiritually to take on this responsibility. We got a miracle number 2 when the plastic surgeon said both surgeries Clay needs combined will be less than 20,000!! Praise the Lord! God allowed our whole community grow in faith as the plan unfolded last time. Doesn't that tell us we only scratch the surface on God's blessing on our own lives?
Thank you ahead of time for all you will do in the near future. We are praying and believing to have this surgery in the beginning of the summer. Our insurance, again, refuses to cover anything. Its a lofty goal but with God's help all things are possible.
