Who am I?

Wow! I cannot believe that I have been home for a month now! Honestly, I cannot believe that I was in Guatemala for two and a half months; it seems SO unreal. But now comes the thinking part, the time to take the time and ask myself questions, good questions, tough questions...Did I really go to Guatemala for 10 weeks? Did I really miss all summer of working on the farm? And I really home now? Did I really meet all those people and make all those friends in Guate and on each team?  Will I ever see any of them again? Why was I called to be the 2013 summer intern in Guatemala? Why was I born in the US and not in Guatemala? Who am I to be given all these blessings? Who am I?

"Who Am I"

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.
A 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.
A 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.
A 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, I am Yours.

Whom shall I fear?
Whom shall I fear?
'Cause I am Yours, I am Yours.

We sang this song in Guatemala a lot. It just helped me remember who I really am - just a little human being yet a child of the ALMIGHTY GOD who has a plan JUST for me! I cannot believe that HE chooses to use me and yet, even when I fail and don't love Him as I should, He still loves me UNCONDITIONALLY!!! 

So...Who am I?

"Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God" ~ John 1:12

I am a CHILD OF THE KING OF KINGS!!
