Easter Worship....

Wow!! That's all I can say....worship yesterday was absolutely incredible at our 9:30am service that I attended w/ Brian! Every song that we sang was absolutely PERFECT for this day that we CELEBRATE our RISEN KING!!!! Our God is Mighty to save, and His grace is so AMAZING!!

Ben Young preached about Emptiness yesterday out of John 20 - his whole message was about how when we are are empty that is exactly where the Lord wants us to be.... so he can fill us up with Him! Like in Genesis 1 when He created the earth (vs.2) - it was EMPTY but he began to fill it with day and night and "it was good"! Then when Abraham who was 100 years old and still hadn't seen the promise of the Lord fulfilled that he would become a father, because his wife's womb was EMPTY...He filled that empty womb with Isaac from with whom the lineage of Christ would come from! And then the tomb, when Mary Magdalene went to the tomb, he was NOT THERE FOR HE HAS RISEN! The tomb was EMPTY! Praise the Lord and it is for that reason that we are here today and can have our hope for eternity with our Creator! What an amazing reminder that being EMPTY is exactly where the Lord wants us to be...and it's okay to be empty! Because it's then that we can be filled with Him - the One who brings true fulfillment to my life!

Then last night, we had our 210 youth staff and some other friends over for Easter dinner! What a great time we had!!
We are SOOOO blessed with the people that the Lord has brought into our life since moving to Katy. We are a part of an amazing church, Second Baptist, we have great friends, and a great home - I am truly blessed!!
