My heart longs for...

Just got back from youth camp. Can't even begin to explain the joy you are given when you get to see one say yes to Jesus, yes to eternity right in front of your face. To pray with them and hug them and let them know you are now their sister. (Sigh) What joy...who am I to be worthy of it?

My heart was most effected through worship as it usually is. I found myself bawling at the lyrics below...my God knows that's how I feel about him. He reminds me. So many treasures my heart longs for especially a child of my own. I long for him more. I treasure him more. Oh how sweet. I have been given that which I long for most....


Underneath the surfaces of all the things I see
Lies a beauty and a mystery
And glory of the King
Standing still I’ll never know
So I’ll search and I will go

It is you my heart longs for
It is you I treasure more
I come wanting
I come wanting more of You
Now this hunger deep inside
Deepens as you satisfy
I come wanting
I come wanting More of you

Wading through the suffering
This journey often brings
To find the open hands of God and all eternity
Standing still I’ll never know
So I’ll search and I will go

It is you my heart longs for
It is you I treasure more

I will definitely write down the names of those villages and ask around as to how far away they are from the towns we will be visiting. I would love to meet them and take photos for you!! I really love you so much and hope we get to talk soon again!
