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.

No Limits

I told you that taking a retreat would be wonderful. It has been freeing for me. Maybe not complete freedom. I have been told by more than one person that all of this journey through grief takes time, but today I sit in the Red Cactus Grill using their free wifi on the TCU campus. Texas Christian University is the school that I went to for 2 years while Billy was at A&M. I took every elective possible, never planning a degree.Billy wrote most of my papers because I felt so inadequate. Today, I have masters degree in Social Work and have learned to use some, not all, technical devices. A far cry from a girl who only wanted her MRS. degree. I say all of this to tell you that God's plans take us places that stretch us and make us more than we think or plan in our limited thinking. He loves us so much, he is not satisfied with our definitions of ourselves. He called Gideon a mighty warrior when Gideon thought he was a coward,hiding from his enemies. He calls me His Queen and His beautiful Bride. The King is calling all of His children to the fullness of who He created us to be. Don't settle "Jennifer", don't settle "_________", He loves you and He is jealous for you.

I'll practice that today, 'speaking God's truth over myself like He did to Gideon.

Last week I read the History Books in Scripture: Judges through Esther. This week, I'm starting on the Wisdom Books. I'm sowing God's truth over my thoughts; not trusting in my own understanding.
