The Unexplainable or The Undeniable?

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.

John Deere Green

Well, Hurricane Ike sure did some damage. Because of the huge wind storm that we had yesterday, and the fact that 3/4 of our county is without power (the Mason's not included) Graves and Mayfield were both out of school today, so I got to stay home with Jaxon. Addison's babysitter was without power so I told Kacie that I'd keep her today. At first this morning, I thought that Kacie didn't send Addi any close, so I went upstairs and got some clothes that Jaxon hasn't grown into yet. I decided that today would be a John Deere day. They looked so cute dressed alike. Here are some pictures from our photo shoot...

The only time I could really get her to be still for a minute was when she was "giving Jaxon love."

What a mischievious smile she has... Watch out, the terrible two's have already begun!

I caught this funny face on camera. This little man is so full of personality!

This is how we went for a walk this morning. Needless to say, we didn't go far. I was tired!

And here are the results. All three of us, passed out!

Scab Face isn't Scar Face!

Isn't it amazing how fast my face healed... I'm all better! Mommy can finally take me in public without being afraid that child services people were going to take me from her!
