Amazed

"Amazed' by, Lincoln Brewster

(verse 1)
You dance over me while I am unaware
You sing all around but I never hear the sound

(chorus)
Lord I'm amazed by You
Lord I'm amazed by You
Lord I'm amazed by You
And how You love me

(verse 2)
You paint the morning sky with miracles in mind
My hope will always stand
For You hold me in Your hand

(bridge)
How deep how wide
How great is Your love for me



I have this song on my profile now and it wraps up what I am feeling. Out of all the heartache of loosing possessions and honestly being mad about it the Lord shows His face. The One who knows me the best, knows how to get my attention and it's always in my face. Robert and I have been frantically working on getting our things moved to Mauriceville and trying to gut our house to the studs in the wall to prevent mold damage from the flood. We were so blessed to only have short of 2 feet in our house, but we've worked non stop for 6 days now and are finally seeing the end of the road for now. Yesterday morning I decided to take the lowboy by myself to Beaumont to find our a mattress to sleep on. The day before my grandparents ventured out and gave me two businesses that were open. I decided to go down Dowlen and Hadley's was open. I knew I could get a good mattress and I was in and out of there in about 10 minutes. I had to go to the warehouse at the old location on Calder and had a man tie the mattress and it's frame down to the lowboy, because I have no idea how to tie something down. I tipped the man very well for helping me. I went and came home through Mid County in fear of killing someone if I went down I-10 through Vidor. On my way back into Bridge City things starting flying off the lowboy on my way up the Veteran's bridge. Thank the Lord no one was close behind me or it could of been really bad. The mattress frame when sailing off the bridge in a frisbee fashion and the mattress went sliding off the back on the bridge. I saw a white truck get over quickly and DPS wasn't too far behind me. DPS is everywhere and you pass one at least every 1/4 mile around here. Kudos to them for protecting us at this time! The trooper told me that someone was picking up the mattress and to pull over at the bottom of the bridge. Quickly there were 2 men with my mattress and they quickly loaded it back on the lowboy. They told me that my husband could probably get the frame because it wasn't in the water and it had landed in the marsh grass/mud. I really had no desire to because there are Search & Rescue teams at the bottom of the bridge probably looking for bodies...? I told them our situation, that I had no bed, and I had just bought it in Beaumont. It was a funny story and I told everyone when I got back to B.C. I have to laugh to keep from crying and it works for me! My grandparents offered to get me another frame at Hadleys and Robert and I met them that evening. We were almost home and a co-worker of mine called and said that at the end of the broadcast on Ch. 12 they announced that if anyone had lost part of a mattress to call. I immediately told her to "Shut Up" and that she was just joking. She promised me she wasn't and after I got off the phone with her, Stephen called me and told me the same thing! I called Ch. 12 and spoke with Erica Harris and she was so excited that they found the owner. She gave me a name and number of the man who had it. I called the man and he asked me what I was driving to verify it was me. I asked if he had been behind me and he said that he had and he kind of paused. I asked if he was one of the men that picked up my mattress on the bridge, in traffic!, and he was! He said he couldn't bare the thought of us not having a bed to sleep on so after he got home, him and his son went under the bridge and got it. Simply Amazing!

Not only is that amazing, but an hour before I got the call about Ch. 12 I was fussing to Robert and being human. I was fussing about how we are trying to do what is right in life, live like Christians, and now our house has major damage. We are gutting it and now we will be investing all our extra time into this disaster for months to come. I was just fussing about "WHY us Lord!?" I was honestly bitter and mad about being a Christian. There I said it! You know we've all been there. About an hour later getting home with the frame my wonderful grandparents got for us, I was reminded that the Lord is still watching over me and "danc(ing) while I am unaware." He put Wayne, the rescuer of my frame, in my life yesterday to remind me that He is still my Lord and He still loves me. Robert met with Wayne today and got the rescued frame. I'm going to try and bring it back to Hadley's this week. I just got a little mud on it. Beyond this storm....I am Amazed how You love me.
