Overwhelmed
December 25, 2009
I am completely overwhelmed by the blessings God has given me. He is so kind and worked it out for me to come home for Christmas to see my family. Not only that, but He also allowed me to get an earlier flight from Seattle so that I arrived in New Mexico ten hours earlier than I expected. Oh, how wonderful it has been to spend time with my family---to play with my little siblings, catch up with my two brothers in the Army, and be with my parents. I was not supposed to be home this Christmas, but God gave me a wonderful surprise!
I have had so much fun sledding with my siblings, playing the guitar, seeing my friends, playing hide and go seek with my little brother and sisters, baking cookies, relaxing, and just being HOME. God is very gracious and I praise Him for this blessing---I am completely overwhelmed!
But it only gets better…because no blessings I have already mentioned can compare to the greatest gift God gave that first Christmas day---His only Son, Jesus Christ. Jesus has saved me and now I am a child of God! I am hidden in Christ---He is always with me. This gift fills my heart with inexpressible joy day after day. God is with me! I am saved! I am a child of God! I do not deserve this great gift from God, but He has given it to me anyway---what a God I serve!
THE MISSION
Written for my family as they move to Cameroon, Africa to share Jesus love with the people there.
Rejoicing in all God has done.
In your lives, I see Him displayed
As your greatest treasure of all;
Your mission: to proclaim His name.
Fix Your eyes on Christ…Run hard to the goal.
Consider the work He has done, He has saved your souls!
Press on, HOPE IN GOD…IN HIS HANDS you are safe. UNDER HIS WINGS…you are held---
you are HELD BY GRACE.
Take up your cross, follow Christ, let His praises resound.
Be BROKEN AND SPILLED OUT
as you journey HOMEWARD BOUND.
Cheering you on as you go
As you make much of Jesus today,
Considering all else as loss
Compared to the Savior’s name.
Fight the battle of faith…stand firm in Christ.
Trust Him with all of your heart, give Him your life.
Press on, HOPE IN GOD…IN HIS HANDS you are safe. UNDER HIS WINGS…you are held---
you are HELD BY GRACE.
Take up your cross, follow Christ, let His praises resound.
Be BROKEN AND SPILLED OUT
as you journey HOMEWARD BOUND.
Praying for you in my heart.
May God’s sustaining grace push you on
To follow Christ outside of the camp,
Calling the nations to join the song!
Jesus is mighty to save
For while yet sinners He died in our place.
Shout---shout His praise For He has given us grace!
Press on, HOPE IN GOD…IN HIS HANDS you are safe. UNDER HIS WINGS…you are held---
you are HELD IN HIS GRIP OF GRACE.
Take up your cross, follow Christ, let His praises resound.
Be BROKEN AND SPILLED OUT
as you journey HOMEWARD BOUND.
