"You Lead"
today was a hard today.
i am, once again, thousands of miles away from some of the people i love the most.
but this time i have my sister with me.
AND.
i have my God.
and He has GREAT plans.
for me.
and for you.

and heres how i know.
last year about this time mom and i were packing up and saying tearful goodbyes to the fam and some friends at our beautiful thai airport and flying to my "homeland". it was bittersweet, lookin out the plane window at all the glittering lights of the city i love and trying to get excited about the new home God had called me to. i guess is was more sad than happy. but then, i was certian my God would take care of me. and He did.
i was overwhelmed by His love for me.
and now, and year later, i wrap my arm around my sister and wave goodbye to three very dear people. and they walk through security.
they go back home.
we stay.
and thats hard.
but i'm certian He will overwhelm me again.

we get in the car. Gogo drives. Shaina sleeps. and Jaimie Grace's "You Lead" plays on the radio station. yepp. its a God moment. and i'm overwhelmed.
here are the lyrics for ya:

You lead, I'll follow, Your hands hold my tomorrow,
Your grip, Your grace, You know the way,
You guide me tenderly,
When you lead, I'll follow,
Just light the way and I'll go,
Cause I know what you got for me is more than I can see,
So lead me on, on, on and on,
Just lead me on, on, on and on,

isn't that beautiful?
okay, so it may not be that meaningful to anyone else, but for me it was a wonderful reminder that my God has great plans for me. and even tho rite now they include letting my family head back to thailand without me, i am gonna trust Him. and adore Him.
i love my God :)
