Flood

Rain, rain on my face
It hasn't stopped raining for days
My world is a flood
Slowly I become one with the mud

But if I can't swim after forty days
and my mind is crushed by the thrashing waves
Lift me up so high that I cannot fall, Lift me up

Lift me up
when I'm falling
Lift me up
I'm weak and I'm dying
Lift me up
I need you to hold me
Lift me up
Keep me from drowning again

Downpour on my soul
Splashing in the ocean, I'm losing control
Dark sky all around
I can't feel my feet touching the ground

But if I can't swim after forty days
and my mind is crushed by the thrashing waves
Lift me up so high that I cannot fall, Lift me up

Lift me up
When I'm falling
Lift me up
I'm weak and I'm dying
Lift me up
I need you to hold me
Lift me up
Keep me from drowning again

Calm the storms that drench my eyes
Dry the streams still flowing
Cast down all the waves of sin
And guilt that overthrow me

But if I can't swim after forty days
And my mind is crushed by the thrashing waves
Lift me up so high that I cannot fall, Lift me up

Lift me up
When I'm falling
Lift me up
I'm weak and I'm dying
Lift me up
I need you to hold me
Lift me up
Keep me from drowning again

This is how I have felt the last couple of weeks. I am sure many of you have heard this song and said "oh yeah its great" but have you really felt what it is like to feel like you are drowning and you are calling out to God and it seems like he doesn't hear a word you say. I really have lately.

As you may know I am planning a trip to Haiti or should I say that God is planning a trip to Haiti this summer and I am just the person he chose to use to get it done. I am not sure why he has chosen me to do this but there must be a reason because I am not this crazy on my own...ahem...not to say that God is crazy but this is not something that I would do on my own. And I am not I have my friend Calah who has been there helping me plan and get all the things done that need to be done. We have made a lot of progress. It is just that there is a daunting task ahead of us and we feel as though we are "splashing in the ocean, losing control". We are having a hard time seeing the finished product which is sixty smiling faces at English Camp. We need a lot of supplies like back packs and regular school supplies and also camp supplies like dry erase markers and t-shirts and prizes that we can hand out for camper of the week. We are believing that Go will provide all of this for us and we know He will but we can't do all of this without asking like it says in Luke 11:10 "For everyone who asks recieves, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened".
