Day 25

Wow. It's been over a week since I last blogged. I think it has a positive effect on my attitude, so I need to keep on it.

Today, I feel filled with the spirit. It's hard not to after hearing Natalie Grant's "I Will Not Be Moved" and Aaron Shust's "My Savior, My God"

My Savior loves.
My Savior lives.
My Savior's always there for me.

My God, He is.
My God, He was.
My God, He's always gonna be.

...and not feel inspired by our Savior's omnipresence? Likewise, how can you listen to Natalie's...

I will stumble,
I will fall down,
But I will not be moved!
I will make mistakes,
I will face heartache,
But I will not be moved!

On Christ, the solid rock, I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
I will not be moved!

...and not feel the strength of the Lord working through each of us? God works through radio stations to spread His word to many people, but sometimes it feels like He puts it there just for me, and that's a beautiful thing.

Within a 20 minute span, Adam answered a few questions I had on God's judgement, hell, the church's acceptance (or lack of) of homosexuality, evangelizing and the definition of faith. That was a very educational and spiritual 20 minutes. Thank you, Jesus.

We went camping last weekend and had a great time. We swam, played catch, took bike rides and basically relaxed. We'll probably go again this summer.

Noah is learning words on a rapid basis now. Colton is "GoBO" and my favorite is "awethumb" for awesome. He can tell you what comes after two ("Threeeeeee") and can show you where is eyes, nose and feet are. Good times.

Colton has won a couple games and lost a couple games since my last blog. There's a good chance he'll be on a travelling league this summer. It sound like fun, and he's was excited to learn that one of his current coaches is the coach of that team and told me that if Colton wanted on the team, he'll be on it. They play on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, so I'm worried it may interfere with church. One way or the other, God will place us in the right path. Again, thank you, Jesus.

It's sometimes cute to see Gabrielle's shyness. A boy on the bus wants to hold her stuff for her for some reason and wanted to know her name. She wouldn't tell him, but Colton, probably trying to be friendly and possibly trying to irritate his sister at the same time, told the kid "Gabrielle" as they got off the bus. She says he's a nice kid, so it's interesting to see that her overall sweetness is having an effect on someone.

Speaking of God, His children and my children, In My Arms by Plumb is another great song.

Praise Jesus.
