overwhelmed.

so yesterday and today i have been overwhelmed beyond belief; and in all actuality they were on two completely opposite norms.

yesterday evening as i was driving through the south of france (yeah, legit, i know) i looked to my left and saw the beautifully painted sky with the mediterranean with the waves crashing on the shore below it. then i looked to my right and saw the foothills of the alps covered in snow with the sun going down overhead. so, as one can tell i didnt know what to do with myself....so i took some pictures.

from there i just spent some time in silent prayer as i watched the sun go down and felt the rush of the cold mediterranean water between my toes. it was so good. i was reminded of the good things the Lord has done and will do in my life. i was also reminded of how much He cares for me. He made all of those things so beautifully breathtaking, yet He still cares for me (and you) so much more.

"The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it. The world and all its people belong to him. For he laid the earth’s foundation on the seas and built it on the ocean depths." Psalm 24:1-2

and then today when i got back from france, got some food in my stomach, and rested for a little bit, i decided to go on a walk. i went down to the river and my heart broke completely. here in spain they locals love to get down by the river and hang out. but this hanging out includes drinking, drugs, sexual relations of all sorts, and many other things. i didnt know what else to do but pray. so thats what i did. i walked and prayed for the people. i prayed that the Lord would wake them up and that they would be sensitive to the Spirit and what the Lord has to offer them because it is so much more than what the world has to offer them. all i could think of was why i didnt know another language. i wish i did because i would have immediately begin taking the gospel to the streets. but then again i think of the scripture in Matthew 10 where He will be our words and we shouldnt worry about what to say.....

so there it is. im overwhelmed by a God who has made all and loves all, but loves us so much more. i think thats why my heart is so overwhelmed. because i feel the heartbeat of my Savior....
