A Retreat and a Beautiful Song

So this Saturday Father Jonathan prepared a retreat for the new converts.
I woke up tired, like most mothers do.
Drank my huge mug of coffee, 500mls to be exact, and then I got ready.
Jacques and I were off.
In the car, I thought, 
"is this retreat going to be as awesome as the others that I have been to, as a protestant?"
And then I thought,
"I really need to make a shopping list!"
(I did!)


And so it began...
A journey I never know I'm going on.
An excitement, anxiety, awaiting the unexpected God on the other side.

One of the ponderings for this retreat was,
"who am I?"

and yes who am I?

Again as I scratched in my book with my felt tip pen, I like those, 
a list, 
only one thing stood out for me, 
in my own list,
was that:
I am HIS!


This song played as we contemplated:

Who am I
Casting Crowns

"Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the Bright and Morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
Vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours

Who am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love and watch me rise again
Who am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
Vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
Vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours

I am Yours
Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
'Cause I am Yours
I am Yours"


Love and Light
