Overwhelmed with You

I am overwhelmed with things to do in the next 3 days before I leave for Romania....some will be enjoyable, others will be mundane or tedious.

A friend of 5 years...a fellow fairvilla lady departed this morning. 4:30am...a warm, silent morning until the birds broke into song around 5. The reality still hasn't hit me that she's not coming back...I don't think it really will until I'm in Romania...or maybe not until I return home to find she is not here.

I enjoy the song: "Catch My Tears" tonight.

"I am nothing, yet you bid me come to you. Lord Almighty. As I come I'm overwhelmed with you.

Humbly now I break the silence as I'm weeping in your prescence. I'm so wretched, overwhelmed with you.

Your blood of redemption, is covering my shame. And your voice that shakes the heavens is whispering my name. And as you catch my tears with your nail scared hands. I'm overwhelmed. I'm overwhelmed with you. I'm overwhelmed......I'm overwhelmed with you."

It is my prayer tonight that I might be overwhelmed by His prescence, lifted by His love, and comforted by His strength.

May you too, Princess, be overwhelmed. I love you!

You let go, and you let God....,
do ALL He desires in your life,and
in your heart.
He is the Master Potter, we are only the clay. Clay is wet, pliable, soft, and very moldable, to be completely fashioned for & by
it's Designer. The clay does not need to be overwhelmed, it only needs to sit & wait for the Master to touch it. He lays His hands upon you, and He applies the pressures that will soon shape you into being. It can be a "hurt", as pressure is applied, but still, all the clay can do is be patient, wait, and say "here I am". The Designer is alway kind, yet firm.

The Master Designer will create a
beautiful vessel, to be used, for His good will & purposes; a most intrcate pattern cut,(detail of much beauty) especially hand made, with the utmost care,
touched only by the Master's hand, for His glorious intent.
This is His love, His patience, His
grace, His heart poured into our's.
If we try to fight the potter's hands, or struggle away from His
working wheel, we do miss the most
of what was to be gained.
Me, the clay must let go....

I too have been feeling the sadness from loosing La Guerita... Yes, even from way down here in San Diego. I don't want to even think about how empty it will feel without her next year. But, I am confident that she is where God wants her and am excited for her as she gets to spend time with her family.
I'm praying for you Dinner Woman. I know God is going to do great things through you in Romania. I can 't wait to hear all about it.

Hey. We don't know each other, but I was looking all over the internet to find who sings that song "Overwhelmed with you" or "Catch my tears" (whatever you call it) and I came across this entry on your site... anyways my point.. I was just wondering if you know who sings that song. It is one of my favorite songs, but no one knows who sings it! If you don't know, that's alright. Thanks :-)
