indescribable

sunday night we showed the louie giglio talk "indescribable" for our evening gathering. if you haven't seen the message, i highly recommend it as it is one that has changed the way i see God. the whole point of the message is that God is much greater and we are much smaller than we could ever have imagined. this is not to say however that God does not care about us or that our troubles are not important. the most powerful aspect about louie's talk is that he shares the truth that while not even the universe can contain the majesty and greatness of God, he still chooses to pursue us. while God is above all, he longs to be in community with us. once the message was over, i took the stage for closing thoughts and i which was met with silence. almost every student was looking at the floor or off into a vast void of nothingness. scared to death that they were just bored to death for the past 44min i quickly rambled to find words. perhaps they were not ready for this i thought, maybe it was too long, maybe teenagers just don't yet understand. in the midst of my worries, a girl looked up at me and in the most pure and understanding way said "that was awesome!" what a breath of fresh air, they got it! after that, others entered into the coversation, some cried, others simply sat in awe. it was a really cook experience to see that regardless of one's age, the truth of God's glory and his desire for us is always relevant.

things are going very well for this georgia boy in muscle shoals, alabama. i love the people, i love the little town, and i love the church. i am very glad that God provided this opportunity for allison and i. this are truly exciting times.
