THE GOODNESS OF OUR GOD!

Hello friends! It's been a while and I have missed you! This entry will be more of a blog than a devotional, but I must tell you just how good our God is in my life and I would love to hear how good He is in yours as well!

First of all, what a privilege it was to be able to be a part of the making of Sherwood's 4th film, Courageous. We watched God do one amazing thing after another on a daily, no hourly, basis!! He showed up and showed out in ways that we never would have dreamed. It will be hitting theaters some time early next year and I ask you to pray that it hits the target of the hearts of dads all across America and the world! May it be one of the most powerful tools that we have seen to date to bring the men of this world to their knees to God!

The week after the movie was wrapped, I had the awesome opportunity to go with our youth to Student Life camp in Orange Beach, Ala. WOW!! David Platt is the most Spirit-filled 31 year old I have ever seen or heard! His new book "Radical" just hit the shelves and I dare you to read it AND live it out!! What a challenge for us all! I am praying that as we head into another new school year, our youth do not forget thehead-on collision they had with God in that place!

Well, as incredible as all of that was, I must say, the highlight of my summer was witnessing the marriage of our oldest son Jason! He and Meagan had the most beautiful, God-centered wedding! What a surreal experience to sit there and watch everything that you have prayed for 24 years come to pass!! I literally had flashbacks of his childhood and all the things we prayed over him during the entire ceremony! All praise and glory to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for every good thing about Jason McLeod!! Our awesome God gets all the credit!! Now the prayers are for everything about their marriage to glorify God and point others to Him! The best thing about it was that I gained another daughter without all the morning sickness, dirty diapers and those awkward teenage years!! But, just like you, I wouldn't trade not one of those minutes with my others because as we all know time goes by WAY too fast!

Thank you for letting me share part of my summer with you and please let us know how God's goodness is showing itself in your life as well! Please know that I pray for you continually and I love you!!
