After a long and ultimately disappointing high school season with @smnw_soccer , @chilbondo received some exciting news yesterday. He was selected to the all-league second team!

25 years of happy reward.

“Live happily with the woman you love through all the meaningless days of life that God has given you under the sun. The wife God gives you is your reward for all your earthly toil.” -Ecclesiastes‬ ‭9:9‬
Today I celebrate daughter number 2...Sephine Jael.

You’ve overcome so much in your life...and now a pandemic. I admire how you continue to smile and soldier through. After multiple attempts, your graduation was finally cancelled. Tonight is your ‘virtual’ graduation. I celebrate your achievement and you!
Have you ever started a new role, responsibility or job, and immediately knew you were in over your head?
•
If you’ve ever been there, it feels like your a kid who’s put on his mom or dad’s jacket, shoes, or hat. It doesn’t fit. It’s over sized. It’s mismatched. 
•
There was a king in the Bible who had this experience. He was the son of arguably the greatest leader in the history of Israel - King David. David had passed away, and Solomon was made king.
•
Solomon made an initial great choice; he honored God. Solomon made a massive sacrifice of 1000 animals to God, and God was pleased. God was so pleased He shows up in Solomon’s dreams that night. He offered Solomon anything Solomon asked for.
•
Solomon begins his response by admitting his fear,

“I feel like a little child who doesn’t know his way around.”
•
What do we do when we are in over our head?

1. We admit it.

Growth comes when you confess your need for help. You will never find help until you admit to yourself you need it.

2. Find a mentor.

Where are you over matched? In parenting? Then find a parent a few years ahead of you who seems to have a few things figured out. At work? Find a co-worker or peer in your industry who has done your job and succeeded.

3. Give glory.

Give yourself a few weeks, months and years, and you’ll grow into this new role. Then might come the biggest challenge - humility. Solomon failed this one. He took the glory. You must give the glory away.
•
Give glory to God. Give glory to others.
•
When we begin to give glory away, we produce hope. 
•
Hope is the antidote to fear.

The Restore Project

Immigration, walls, reform – most of us don’t have the solution. Through long talks with people from both sides of the aisle and the border, one answer rises above the rest…education. The Restore Project combines our love of t-shirt art with a message and purpose. Each shirt carries a deep meaning and represents a child given the opportunity to attend school in one of the poorest neighborhoods in Central America. Choose a Message. Buy a Shirt. Change a Life.
