Indescribable

Friday I wrote my blog about 3 indescribable moments having to do with my family all together to celebrate Wesley's birthday, a call from a friend, Patrick Richardson, to say Faith had been born and a birthday celebration with a fellow laborer in the vineyard, Robert Jackman who turned 47 and looks great! :-) As I finished writing out my thoughts on the indescribable feelings I had experience in moments of laughter, life and friendship ... I posted Friday's blog into cyberspace and that is where it stayed! The moment I realized that all I had written had vanished into some black hole never to be seen or heard from again, the feeling was indescribable! It has taken me a few days to recover from that nauseous experience, but I'm back.

This morning as our executive staff met in my office I had another indescribable moment. I heard some sad news, our dear friend and attorney, Stu Levin, had suffered a tragic loss, his son was killed 3 weeks ago by a drunk driver. I had no idea what had transpired and was grieved to hear of his loss ... his pain is indescribable. I talked with Stu this morning to let him know that I was praying for him and was so sorry that I was not there to journey with him during these last few weeks.

The truth is that much of life is indescribable, the highs and the lows, but what I have experienced over these last few days as indescribable as it has been, the love which Christ has shown to me in the midst of those moments as indescribable as the moment itself, a love demonstrated by his prayer for me in the garden. As he faced death, his thoughts were for me and my eternity. I am amazed at God's love, generosity, grace, power, patience and so much more. Whether in my moments of greatest joy or the pain of the valley of the shadow of death ... God is there and he is truly is indescribable!
