Dad's Lessons from the Sandlot

Dad's Lessons from the Sandlot was written in 2006, two years before Billy Crain passed away suddenly on June 3, 2008. He never got the book published, but our family felt inpired and led by God to find a publisher and get the book in printed from. The book uses the transparency of Billy's baseball stories to expose God's hand in the details of our lives. The ultimate journey leads us to see God is in our stories and to train us to recognize it is really HIS STORY in our humanity. To order your copy today contact jennifercrain@sbcglobal.net.

God's Plans

I am on retreat at the YWAM-Tyler base for 3 days. I recommend that you all take some time this year to get really grounded in the Lord. I believe things are going to change very fast this year and we are going to need to hold on and not miss important turns in the road. So far I have not only felt the loving presence of God but I have been guided by some words in the scripture:"God-you're my God! I can't get enough of you! I've worked up such a hunger and thirst for God traveling across dry and weary deserts. So here I am in the place of worship, eyes open, drinking in your strength and glory." Daddy wants us to trust Him so much that even when things are really hard, we can wait knowing that He is coming with more of Himself which will always be enough for everything that we need. That may just seem like words to you if you haven't searched for Him. He requires that we seek Him. He will not force himself or His plans on us,but if you seek Him, you will find Him. That is His promise and He cannot lie. I was also encouraged by the words in my meditational book,God Calling:Title-Do Not Plan:" All is well. Wonderful things are happening. Do not limit God at all. He cares and provides. Do not plan ahead, the way will unfold step by step. I am carrying you" Sometimes God asks us to plan and count the costs, but for me right now, God is asking me more to trust His supernatural, suddenlies and release the rest to Him. His plans are to give us a hope and a future that will completely satisfy us. I am not going to live a life of duplicity any longer. No longer trying to fit my plans in with His. Only His plans give life.

Remember His plan don't always make sense to anyone but the one who he's leading. Stay in that place of extreme obedience and submitting. And may God's peace and presence be with you always, even in midst of storms around you, yours and others. May you walk forward trusting in His voice only. 1 Chronicles 16:7-36, esp. v34
