Today was moving day for us. And I as I sit here now, after an exhausting day, I just can't stop the tears. Not because of the reality of the house we will soon call home. Not because we are moving. Not even because we are leaving a place where treasured memories were made.
All I can do now is cry huge, wet tears. I am just overwhelmed. Overwhelmed with the way that our friends loved us today.
I am beyond humbled. I don't know that in a thousand years I could ever be able to express just how blessed I felt today. As I stood today, surrounded by people who love us, people who care deeply for our family, it became a reality just how much God has provided for us.
And for the first time in a very long time, I'm speechless. I'm overpowered by the thoughts of how these people served and ministered to us today. And I know, without hesitation, that I saw the very face of God today in 18 different people. Ordinary people who chose to be His hands and feet.
And it's because of His love today that I am overwhelmed tonight.
Overwhelmed can be a very good thing, huh!
ReplyDeleteyou now have a taste of what we feel like. Our supporters overwhelm us and make us speechless on a CONSTANT basis....
ReplyDeletehumbling, eh
I must say you have some awesome friends (I mean other than us, of course WE are awesome, that's a no-brainer). But I thoroughly enjoyed meeting some of your other friends... they made me want to be friends with them too. I guess that's one way heaven will be totally awesome (aside from being with Jesus, duh). We will have a hugemungus group of people that will be our friends for eternity minus all the sin that gets in the way.
ReplyDeleteI'm here for you, and will help as I am able... Remember, you are equally a blessing to us! Your friendship means the world to me. :-)

ReplyDeleteIt's such a privilege to serve those who are serving Him. This is how the world should be, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you had all that help. I feel helpless here in Arkansas. Remember this day when you feel the tasks God has given you are too big!
