yes indeed

i've been writing this post in my head for days, and i still don't know how to articulate what i want to say.

we got to the condo late thursday night. after getting everything out of the car, i settled in by turning off all the lights and letting the light of the full moon illuminate the rooms. i wandered around the condo, struck by it's beauty - the physical beauty of the condo, the natural beauty of the beach and the waves, but so much more than that - i was positively overwhelmed by His presence.

my heart was overflowing, bursting with joy at His nearness. if Jesus had walked in and sat down on the bed, i would not have blinked an eye, He was so real. we sing songs about His extravagance, the Word talks about how He loves to lavish us with grace and all good things... but i didn't have a clue until that night what we were singing about. not really.

i flipped my bible open, and landed in isaiah 52. 3 words jumped off the page at me:

it is I.
