O-V-E-R-W-H-E-L-M-I-N-G

I sincerely appreciate everyone who has asked how things are going while we are in Indiana and for all the texts and phone calls just letting us know you are praying. 

Often times, I struggle to even answer the question about what all God is doing here in Indiana because only one word comes to mind - OVERWHELMING.  I cannot begin to wrap my mind around it all much less explain it to someone else (although I do my best).  Isn't that Father's character though?  OVERWHELMING?  We cannot fit Him in a box nor can we wrap our minds around His vastness, His complexity, His power, His character, His peace, His strength, His sweet pursuit.  I have been super intentional the last few weeks about taking time to be ALONE with the Father (outside of reading & praying) to process all that has been going on.  Sitting outside in front of the church in complete silence has become a part of my morning routine here.  No praying.  No reading the Word.  Just sitting still and listening.  THIS TIME HAS BEEN PRECIOUS and it has allowed me to simply sit quietly in His presence and enjoy Him without saying a word. 

Just the other day, I was walking around a community close by the church and a song came on my Ipod that literally stopped me in my tracks and the tears came.  If ever there were a song that penetrated the very core of my heart - it was this song.  It was as if I wrote it to the Father...

The more I seek You
The more I find You
The more I find You, the more I love You

I want to sit at Your feet
drink from the cup in Your hand.
Lay back against You and breathe, hear Your heart beat.
This love is so deep, it's more than I can stand.
I melt in Your peace, It's OVERWHELMING.

That pretty much summarizes the cry of my heart.  The more I seek Him, the more I find Him, the more I find Him, the more I love Him.  I want to sit at His feet.  I want to be a worshipper of Him all of my days.  I want to be so close to Him at every moment of the day that I could lay back against Him and breathe, hear His heart beat.  Why?  I want to know Him more and experience every facet of Him.  This love is so deep, it's literally more than I can stand.  I know I say I'm overwhelmed a lot - BUT I am simply without words blown away by the Father.  He is magnificent and...
