Beyond Me

      We are here! The 12 hour trip felt like it doubled because I was so antsy to get to Guatemala and see all of the children. We were all pretty delusional by our last flight into Guatemala City since we all have not slept for a day and a half. I had my headphones in and kept dozing off and waking up the entire plane ride.
      When I woke up right before we landed, a song was playing on my iPod that I had heard many times but had never listened to what it was actually saying. I replayed the song a few times and felt exactly what Toby Mac was describing.

Call it a reason to retreat
I got some dreams that are bigger than me
I might be outmatched, outsized, the underdog in the fight of my life
Is it so crazy to believe

That You gave me the stars put them out of my reach
Called me to waters a little too deep
Oh, I've never been so aware of my need
You keep on making me see
It's way beyond me
It's way beyond me
Yeah, it's out of my league
It's way beyond me
It's way beyond me
It's way beyond ...

Anything that I got the strength to do
In over my head keeps me countin' on You
I'm leaving the sweet spot, sure shot
Tradin' it all for the plans You got
Is it so crazy to believe

You take me to the place where I know I need You
Straight to the depths that I can't handle on my own
And Lord I know, I know I need You
So take me to Your great ...
Take me to Your great unknown

      This is how we are supposed to feel as Christians every day if we want to be obedient and rely on God. It was a good reminder for me coming into the week knowing that I'm going to need The Lord in every circumstance that I face this week and that I can't do it without Him.
