"New Kicks On The Block"

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. 1 John 1:7

My friends and I joined a local sports club. Of the sports offered, we chose to partake in kickball. My friends were creative in brainstorming team names; we went with the name New Kicks On The Block. =) Awesome, right?!

The sports club is a not a Christ centered organization. All the more reason my friends and I wanted to join. What a great outreach opportunity to share the gospel. This sports league has been such a joy since the beginning. Our team has been improving so much each week. Although we rarely win, it's such a super fun time of fellowship. There is definitely progress in the building of relationships with others in the league. Our biggest weakness, in my opinion, is getting others from our community to come spectate and join in the fellowship.

I was most encouraged recently when a couple from the league, N & E, invited me to a game night. Unfortunately, I was unable to attend due to work. :/ However, I was tickled pink that they thought to invite me. :) And through this invitation I learned N & E enjoy board games. So now I know to invite them to join my friends and I at our game nights. It's another opportunity to invest in them and build a relationship with them. This was just total encouragement to me that the Lord is at work with in the sports club. And when others in the league are drawn to us, they might not yet realize it but it's really Christ in us that they see and are drawn to.

Let brotherly love continue. Hebrews 13:1
