Last night, Justin and I (and Jax) took the youth to a Hawaiian Luau at Bro. Kevin's (The Youth Minister at Sharon Baptist Church) house. Jaxon looked so cute in his lay (or is it spelled lei?) I'm not sure, I'm not Hawaiian. But anyway, Bro. Kevin has an amazing house and we had a wonderful time. I will post pictures soon...
The speaker for the night was Bro. Matt Johnson. For the past seven months, I haven't had the opportunity to listen to very many church services because I've had a child to tend to. But tonight, Jaxon slept through the preaching, so I got to listen. And God really spoke to me. Bro. Matt talked about the Unexplainable vs. the Undeniable. As Christians, a lot of times there are things about our faith that we can't explain. But we cannot deny God or His love for us. I can't tell you how a major league baseball player can hit a 90mph fast ball, but it happens every day. It's undeniable. The blind man could not explain how Jesus made him see again by simply spitting in the dirt and rubbing mud upon his eyes, but he could see. And he could not deny the fact that he once was blind, but now he could see. I can not explain to you how much I love my little boy. But I can't deny it either. The love I have for him is like something that I have never experienced.
And so it is with my Lord. Jesus, thank You for loving me despite my tendencies to try to figure everything out. Even when I can't explain You, I can't deny You either. You are real in my life and I've never been so thankful for that.

Your thoughts amaze me sometimes. Thanks so much for sharing them. So many times I feel empty and confused, but I'm so thankful that God is not knocked off the throne when that happens. He is still God and it's comforting to know that even when I don't feel him, he's still undeniably there!
isn't He good?
