Cuz i can't Thank You enough

What can I do for You?
What can I bring to You?
What kind of song would you like me to sing?

'Cause I'll dance a dance for You
Pour out my love to You
What can I do for You beautiful king?

'Cause I... can't thank You enough.
I can't thank You enough
What can I do for You?
What can I bring to You?
What kind of song would you like me to sing?

'Cause I'll dance a dance for You
Pour out my love to You
What can I do for You beautiful king?

'Cause I... can't thank You enough.
I can't thank You enough
All of the words that I find... and I can't thank You enough.
No matter I try... I can't thank You enough.
Then I hear You sing to me

"you... don't have to do a thing
Just simply be with me and let those things go
'Cause they can wait another minute

Wait... this moment is too sweet
Would you please stay here with Me
And love on Me a little longer"

I hear You say...
"You... don't have to do a thing
Just simply be with me and let those things go
'Cause they can wait another minute

Wait... this moment is too sweet
Would you please stay here with Me
And love on Me a little longer
I'd love to be with you a little longer
'Cause I'm in love with you

Over the last 48 hrs, i've been completely and utterly in awe of how amazing our God's LOVE is...
we do stupid things. we say the wrong thing. we don't take time to be genuine with people. we forgive and remember. we say we love someone... and end up hurting them the worst...  and yet, even after it's all said and done, we have the privilege of coming before an awesome God *still* chooses to LOVE US! ...that's pretty amazing.

yeah, so we had a friend (AlAna) come over for the weekend/these past few days. She came as a missions trip to observe and "report" what us English Teachers are doing over here in Taiwan. We all had to "act normal" while she walked around and took pictures... oh! and then we had to do an "interview" - man! i do hate public speaking, even if it is only in front of a camera (er... *required* public speaking... cuz, as many of us know, i do enjoy talking just for the fun of it... just, not when it's required) :P So yeah, I'm pretty sure i stuttered my way through the whole 2minute interview.... but oh well.

actually, it kind of sparked my thinking (again)... why am i here? if i were to ask this question, i'm sure that some ppls label me as a "missionary"... some label me as a "teacher" (that's still a foreign concept to me... ), and some label me "an uncertain girl with an uncertain future who's going to taiwan to escape having to make a choice in reality" (...okay, so maybe i'm the only one who labels me that... but i'm sure it's crossed some other ppls minds). yeah, so i've been thinking and asking myself... "camille, WHY are you here in Taiwan" and oh man, *I* could list a million-and-two reasons that i'm here: the children! the people/co-workers! the love that is felt all over Taiwan (i swear, this country has more love in it than all of America put together!)!i'm here because i know and can see God in a whole new light while i'm here... and it's BEAUTIFUL! i came this year, not only hoping to love taiwan and her peoples... but also to rediscover WHO God is... and what He wants me to do with my life!

 I love taiwan with passion. and my heart will always be here.

and I know I will end up permanently... eventually.

so here's to the future: bring what you want, cuz MY future is in my Father's hands!

Lots of Love to y'alls!! <3 <3

    God is incredible, His love is unfathomable and who He is, is amazing. He created you with a bubbly heart full of adventure and He will carry out amazing things through you. Trust Him always and you, my friend, are going to have such amazing things happen. You have such a heart for people. Keep seeking Him with your whole heart. You have such a beautiful heart.
