Choosing to Choose - Peace in a Troubled World.

Jaime Smith works everyday at NAU, Northern Arizona University and deals with young people and their parents as they prepare to attend college. She is a former state champion cheerleader from Phoenix Christian High School (2000). As a sophomore at NAU she decided to become the owner/operator of a new Club Football teams, the Flagstaff Hitmen in the Arizona Football League AzFL. The experience with the team, graduating college and now working at NAU have helped shape her outlook and focus.

We spoke of course of the snow that is coming down relentlessly on this day. We also talked about the distractions young people face with so many things to see, hear, do and serve. Jaime was quick to point out that you will be distracted if you choose to chase those things. She said also that life is hard, she has been through ups and downs, been very sad, but always knew that God loved her. Through it all she chose to go back to the Lord for her peace..

No matter your age, if you are trying to balance life, work, family, parents and the multitude of time starving tasks facing us each day the you should hear her interview: Listen for yourself by clicking here now! Read her testimony HERE!

 She is not alone and her husband Jeremiah Smith shares her faith and approach to peace. Both attend church at Christ Church of Flagstaff. Jeremiah is originally from Wyoming and grew up close to the earth as a hunter, fisherman, horseman and country boy. He too has overcome great obstacles on a personal level and chosen to live in peace and give the glory to his Lord Jesus Christ.

Jeremiah Smith is the Head Coach for the Flagstaff High School Eagles varsity football team. He also is co-owner and Head Coach of the Flagstaff Hitmen. He has worked with young people in the Flagstaff area for years and had been the JV coach for years before taking over the varsity in 2008. He has a goal to help those players that want to go to college, to get there.

The Flagstaff Hitmen team is possible because of the efforts of the team owners Jeremiah and Jaime Smith they play in the Arizona Football League AzFL for the season that starts in January and runs through May of 2009.
