Amazing Love....

Yesterday we arrived at the beach in Panama City - it was absolutely amazing! The size and the awe of it is breathtaking. I took alot of time to reflect and to pray as I stared out at the ocean.

One thing that came to mind last night as I sat on the roof top deck, gazing at the stars, hearing the waves beat against the shore, and feeling the breeze on my face is how relaxing it was. I thought back to a time when I used to say my theme song was the Alabama song "I'm in a hurry to get things done, I rush and rush until life's no fun...." and I thought about what song I would chose today...as I thought about it the song "Amazing Love" came to mind.

Today I am so mindful of God's amazing love and as I sat on the beach and watched 6 former orphans laugh, run, play and dance in the water - I was overwhelmed by it. I wish that everyone could visibly see the evidence of God's amazing love. I knew without a doubt in my mind that God was smiling as He watched the girl's play in the ocean He created. I know He delighted in watching them laugh and dance in the water. Knowing that brought me great joy and thankfully my sunglasses hid the tears of happiness that streamed down my face.

I am so thankful for God's amazing love.

Enjoy these lyrics and reflect on how much God loves you.

Amazing Love by Hillsong United
I'm forgiven, because you were forsaken
I'm accepted, you were condemned
I'm alive and well, you're spirit is within me
Because you died and rose again

I'm forgiven, because you were forsaken
I'm accepted, you were condemned
I'm alive and well, you're spirit is within me
Because you died and rose again

Amazing love, how can it be
That you my king would die for me
Amazing love, I know it's true
It's my joy to honor you
Amazing love, how can it be
That you My king would die for me
Amazing love, I know it's true
It's my joy to honor you
In all I do I honor you

I'm forgiven, because you were forsaken
I'm accepted, you were condemned
I'm alive and well, you're spirit is within me
Because you died and rose again
