Overflow

I decided to start a blog so that when I return to haiti this summer for a month long internship working with my kids down there I will have a way to keep in touch with everyone back home and share all the wonderful things I know God will do. Also so when I start my internships and move away I will have an easy way to keep in touch.

I chose to name my blog overflow for a couple of reasons. First after a song we sing at my church in Erie called Overflow written by Brian and Rachel Lusky. The following are the Lyrics:

As you call me near, I come
Drawn with holy fear and awe
Into heaven’s doors to see u as you are
You who formed the earth with your hands
Sun and moon shine at your command
Who can know the vastness of the Lord most high

Bridge 1
As I draw near I offer my life to my Jesus
Who fills me with mercy and grace
As I go out I will open my eyes and awaken
You will be a blessing through me

Chorus
You’re the overflow
The sustainer of my soul
Pouring out of me
Living water for the weary
Bless me so I might be a blessing
Heal me so I might bring healing
Cover me, so that I might be a covering
For you

Vs.2
Its because of you, I must go
Sent to tell the world and to show
Friend or enemy, the love I com to know
Where confusion reigns I will be peace
Where there are bondaged chains bring release
Where there are tears and pain, may I be the joy of the morning

Bridge 1

Chorus

Bridge 2
Heal me with your love o Lord, pour out till I overflow (4x)

My deepest cry of my heart is to be Christ's servant, to go wherever he calls me. I want to be His hands and His feet on this earth. I want to overflow into the lives off those around me. I want people to look at me and know there is something different about me by the way I act and the love I am able to pour out. I want the Lord to bless me so that I can be a blessing. For him to heal me so that I might bring healing, to cover me so that I might be a covering to the broken and weak, to the weary and meak. The Lord is the sustainer of my soul and I want that to pour out of me.

The second reason I named this blog overflow, is because I will write in it when I have thoughts that I want to overflow out of me and into those around me. When God is doing amaizng things, I just can't hold it in and want to tell people. Well, this is a great way for me to do that when I am far away. I know God is going to do some amazing things this summer and this coming year and I anticipate finding out and living them out.
