The God Who Sees

-

     You see me. You see every part of me and you still invite me into a relationship with you. A deep, beautiful fellowship with the One who knows me more intimately than anyone ever could. You see my brokenness and speak restoration into my life. Like a potter with a lump of clay, you see potential in me. You mold my life into a vessel that will bring Your Name honor, for this is the reason I was created. You see my tears that fall to the ground as I cry out to you with my mind full of questions, and You gently bring your healing touch and embrace me with identity, crowning me with grace and beauty. You see my doubts and call me to trust You without wavering. To believe in Your identity that will never fade or change. You see when I fall down and in Your mercy, You reach out Your hand to pick me up, dust me off and stand me upright to walk again.  

       You see my fears and remind me of Your promises that will never fail, no matter what I'm feeling at the time. You see my passions and You delight in placing Your dreams inside my heart, so that You may fulfill the desires in Your perfect timing. You see when I kneel in repentance and You pour out your forgiveness upon me the second I turn to step off of the throne of my life and surrender control back to You. You open My eyes to see through your perspective. Viewing people through the lens of unconditional love which enables me to see the intrinsic value You've placed inside each one. The inherent beauty of Your image gives every person incredible worth in Your eyes. 

I see your heart for the lost and hurting. I see how you long to gather them inside Your arms and fill the empty places in their lives with the only thing that will truly satisfy their desire for purpose and fulfillment.
A personal relationship with You. 

You see what we need most, from the core of our being we long for more of You. You see, and you don't turn a blind eye to our searching hearts. You invite us ever closer and deeper into experiencing a thriving relationship with El Roi... The God Who Sees.

Touch Me Not

So this poem has a cool story. While I was at Ellerslie, a 5-week Bible Summit in Windsor Colorado, I heard a message titled, We will not Fear. The speaker shared a true story that happened during the time of the Roman Empire. There was a stag that was given a plaque around its neck with these words inscribed on it: "I belong to Caesar, Touch Me not." That stag had the freedom to travel anywhere in the kingdom and even wander into enemy territory, remaining safe because of who he belonged to. The same is true for us as Christians. You see, we belong to Jesus which means that we carry His Name. We have the knowledge that the enemy has no say over our lives except for what we choose to give him. And even in our hardest moments, he has no legal right over us, we are no longer his slaves. The session really impacted my heart and directly afterward, the Holy Spirit gave me this poem. I pray it encourages your heart and reminds you of the authority you carry as a child of the K...

Surrender

      This is a poem that God gave me at the start of the new year 2022. The words came at a moment when I was feeling some fear about how unknown my plans were for that year. It was during that time of questioning that He gave me this poem with a promise that He would carry me through, come what may. As I read back over it now, I see how He has used both the desert and fruitful seasons of my life to draw my heart closer to His throughout the years. He truly is worthy of our surrender. Surrender A freedom found in letting go  A joy the world can never know. From shards into a masterpiece A heart of love that gently speaks.  I kneel before my Savior King  Place in His hands, my everything  A burden lifts up from my heart A purpose deep, He then imparts Why can't people understand?  Why don't they realize, they're part of His plan?  The brighter the fire, the deeper the trust  There's so much He's willing to give to us.  With tea...

The Meaning Behind the Name

Welcome! I invite you now into a very special part of my life. I pray you will be encouraged. So, what's the meaning behind the name? If you know me, you would agree that one of my favorite things in the world is waterfalls! I have climbed steep cliffs, hiked for miles, and put myself in some pretty precarious situations in order to come close to these wonders that God created!  Some of you may not know the underlying reason that I love waterfalls. Each time I see one, it reminds me of the deep, overflowing, incredible Love that God has for me and this world He designed. You see, we all live from something. In our lives, there is an underlying source from where we get all our strength and energy.  It may be the work we do or the social life we have, perhaps it's what we eat, or how we connect with people. The reason I named this blog "Living From an Overflow" is because I have found that living from anything else but a relationship with Jesus will leave us feeling emp...
