Beautiful




Can I just say that I live in a beautiful country. This was the view out my window the other day as I was taking the train back to Brasov from Bucuresti. I was surprised to see snow! After spending a couple weeks in Italy with really warm weather I was not expecting to see that! But the contrast of the fall trees and snowy mountain (note the cross on top) was totally beautiful. I'm happy I could snap a pic from the train to remember it.

While on the train, I was listening to Chris Tomlin and just looking out the window. My 'theme song' for the year came on...Glorious. The lyrics along with the view really humbled me.

"Glorious, over us...You shall reign...Glorious"

At that moment the view out my window was of the fall sun rising over the now golden fields of the Romanian countryside. I could hardly keep from crying at how wonderful, amazing, loving and gracious our God is. He is truly Glorious. I'm blessed to be approaching my 2 year mark here in Romania. I don't know what the future will hold, as 2 years was my original commitment. I am spending the weekend praying about all this. I love it here. I love the work, I love the people and the kids and babies. I love the language. But above all of this, I can truly say I simply love being in the center of the Lord's will.

And if His will is going to keep me here or move me on somewhere else, I am totally at peace with that. I want to be obedient. I'm looking forward to seeing what He has in store for me as He reveals His plan.

Grace and Peace friends

Overflow


Overflow

Here I bring my stains and crowns
Gentle river wash me now
Your love is deeper than I know
Your ways higher than I can go

Lead me in Your holiness
I will follow, I confess
Glory is the song I sing
Your life is living me

And where would I be
Without You, without You?
Where would I be
Without You?

I will bow before the cross
Cherish my Redeemer's cost
There is nothing I can do
But only stand amazed by You

Mercy new with every day
Wrapped up in Your arms of grace
Nothing more, You're all I need
Your life is living me

Like a waterfall
You fill my heart and overflow
Like a candle flame
You light my way
And lead me as I go

Spirit overflow
Let me overflow
