God's Joy



Last week’s performance of Jennifer Hudson on American Idol was mind-blowing. I did not know she could deliver a song with such power and raw emotion. For me the best line of her song of “Where You At” is when she sings “And I stood there... in the freezing cold! And I waited for you, but you never showed.”

It gave me a deep realization that when all is said and done, we will all come to experience that feeling of abandonment. But at the same time---when we place God first, He will never abandon us. I am so happy also because last Saturday I felt an overwhelming rush of warm emotions cursing through my body. My wife, our daughter and I went for a 3D ultrasound of our second child. Seeing our baby’s tender face made everything worthwhile. I am elated with love and awe. God has always been so good to me. I told my wife the other day---I am the most blessed man in the world--to have you, our daughter and now our boy. Thank you God for all the blessings. Through all the trials and tribulations we’ve endured we can’t wait to see the birth of our newest baby.
