“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” Deuteronomy 31:6 (NIV)
Week after week I watch my boy strap on his helmet, grab his bat and walk trembling to the batter’s box. Each time the ball comes, he stands paralyzed, unable to move. Starting Little League baseball as a rookie 10-year-old can be quite intimidating, especially in a small Texas town where most of your teammates have been playing since birth.
But something about this night feels different . . .

Hello Sister Shelly. I am so glad to know you through your profile on the blogger and the blog post. I am also glad to stop by your blog post and also other page like “about me”. I am blessed and feel privileged and honored to get connected with you because of who you are in the Lord Jesus Christ and your commitment to the Lord to serve Him. I am truly blessed to know you and your family and God willing look forward to get to know you and your family more to know what the Lord has stored for us to partner in building the body of Christ. I am a Pastor from Mumbai, India and I love to get connected with the people of God around the world to be encouraged, strengthen and praying for one another. I have been in the ministry for last 36 yrs in this great city of Mumbai a city with a great contrast where richest of rich and the poorest of poor live. We reach out to the poorest of poor with the love of Christ to bring healing to the brokenhearted. We also encourage young and the adults from the west to come to Mumbai to work with us during their vacation time. We would love to have you come with the family to work with us as well as minister us through the Word of God in the areas where the Lord is using you but build and equip the saints. God willing I will be coming to the States in the month of May 2016 and will be so glad to drop to your place and meet you and see the possibility of your coming to Mumbai in the near future. Looking forward to hear from you very soon. God’s richest blessings on you, your family and friends also wishing you a blessed and a Christ centered rest of the year 2016.
