Trey Tuesday - July 31, 2012

Young Warrior!

It's Trey's turn!  :) 

Let's take a peek at the t-shirt Jay and Rachel designed for Trey: our Young Warrior!

To define a warrior is to speak of one who is courageous, fearless, confident, strong, a fighter, a soldier...aka TREY!  :)

 

The scripture Jay and Rachel chose for Trey's shirt is from John 16:33:

"In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."

I was blessed to spend part of this weekend with long lost extended "family." Oh, how this verse rings ever true!

Broken hearts, burdens, illnesses, accidents, and tragedies bind us together amidst hugs and tears and prayers.

And this scripture gently, although straightforwardly, reminds us, "In this world you will have trouble."

Even though we know it with our heads, it still hurts our hearts terribly.

 

But wait!
Read the rest of the verse:  "But take heart! I have overcome the world."

(King James version says, "But be of good cheer!")

 

Watching our extended "family" watch Trey was such a gift!

You see, these long lost friends are part of Team Mitlo One, praying, supporting, encouraging, cheering the Mitlos on, although never having met Trey!

As they watched Trey run and talk and play and slide and eat snow cones and play Fruit Ninja(!), he gave them a bit of good cheer!

Trey, our Young Warrior, was living the gospel loud and clear that Jesus HAS overcome the world!  Thank God Almighty! :)

 

And now we know yet again, with Trey's CT Scan next week...trouble could be looming.  "But be of good cheer!  Jesus has overcome!"

Yes, let's rest there! 

Rachel writes:

Please be praying for sweet, baby Trey, the scan next week and for us as we pray for wisdom. We know that whatever happens, God is in control. Do you believe that, too? It's true!

 

"In all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us."

Romans 8:37
