Called out on Strikes

Thank you so much for all your prayers for Josh yesterday. He pitched two innings, striking out two, walking one. The first batter he faced was called out on strikes. A fantastic first outing! Thank you, Lord! He said his splitter was great and his only complaint was that he got "under the ball"  instead of  "on top of the ball" on a few pitches. Thas to do with the angle of his arm during the wind-up and release.

This was the first time Josh threw in an actual game and we are so very thankful for this great start to spring training. He said he probably won't throw again until Sunday, but I'll keep everyone updated. 

Please continue to pray that the Lord grants Josh favor in the sight of the coordinators and coaches and that Josh would be filled with confidence, courage, and a steadfast mind and heart so that he will be able to honor the Lord with excellence in his work and be a witness for His glory. 

This afternoon, McKenzie and I are planning a PB&J picnic at the beach. We wish you all could join us! We'd even pack an extra pickle- McK's favorite snack of the week. 

"That God should have made the extension of His kingdom to such an extent dependent on the faithfulness of His people in prayer is a stupendous mystery and yet an absolute certainty."
