God I Look To You

Well, we are officially home.  After 6 flights (3 there and 3 home) we have arrived.  I can still feel my body swaying as if I am still on a plane.  You get pretty accustomed to living on a plane :)  We ate on the planes, slept on the planes..by the last flight Corey and I were so giddy.  We were literally laughing so hard over such silly things - I think the sleep deprivation finally caught up with us.  I smile now just thinking how out of control with laughter we were!  My body is apparently rejecting US time because I am still operating on London time.  I keep waking up at 3AM.  Though, this is such a small price to pay for an incredible life changing trip.

I titled this post, "God I Look To You" because I think I have listened to this song by Jenn Johnson maybe 100 times since I have been home.  I don't know where that place is for you where life completely fades out and its just you and the Lord engaging but for me its in the car.  I imagine this huge streamline of communication from my heart up into the heavens where I am just so hungry to hear His voice.  And He speaks.  The morning after we arrived home I got in the car and randomly selected this song, God I Look To You.  I was immediately wrecked.  The tears started and its as if a huge sigh of relief came over me.  Its been truly hard to process all we have seen and all we have done.  It is hard to relay all we have been through and seen to those who love you and want to know all about this experience.  In that moment its as if He covered me in prayer interceding for my heart to be at ease with all we have been through.  Thank you Jesus for interceding for us daily!  Hallelujah! He is the only one in life that can connect my tears with words, even sentences.  So I just cried.  Here are the words to the song that just lifted my soul.

God I look to you
I won't be overwhelmed
Give me vision
To see things like you do
God I look to you
Your where my help comes from
Give me wisdom
You know just what to do

I wish I could keep writing but emotionally I think that is all I have for now :)

Thank you Lord for being such a good Daddy and for being so present - You are adored!

Have a blessed day!
