Overflow

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 meLiving 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.

God has blessed me with the most amazing summer of my life serving in Haiti and this song has a deeper meaning to me now that I have returned from Haiti than when I left. I feel God's leading to return...to go be a blessing to his precious children in Haiti, to continue to allow him to pour out of me to touch the weary, the weak, the broken, and the meak. I am in deep prayer about my future. Where God is calling me, I don't want what I want to get in the way of God's calling and plan on my life. Please continue to pray for me as I discern the possibility of returning to Haiti next summer for 3 months after taking my boards and continuing the work God has started through me in the Miriam center. I am then discerning about becoming a traveling therapist which would allow me to go all around the country doing occupational therapy. This job pays really well and has a lot of good benefits. IT would also allow me to pay off all my loans in about 2 years. This would give me time to discern God's calling on my life in the mission feild whether it is a STM based calling or a LTM based calling. I know whatever God's plans are they are good and I am excited to see where he leads me and takes me.

I have been so blessed the last 3 years to get to know so many of my Hatian brothers and sisters as well as many of the missionaries and group members that have joined me in Haiti.
