Overwhelmed, (def.). to be poured out upon, to be buried, to be crushed, overpowered.

God told me I would be crushed this semester. As I prayed over winter break, He told me that He would be my fortress, my shelter, my shield. There has been some huge crap that God has had me right in the middle of, using me to comfort others and minister to my brothers. I am weary. I am so tired. I crave sleep more than I want food. I love that God uses me, but I need to be filled. Like the branch on the vine, I need life blood. My time with God is for the most part, dry. I am a dry, empty cup, Lord please fill me. I am in a dry and weary land, Jesus be my refuge. Spirit flow through me into those you have placed in my life. Let me be your vessel, continually being filled and emptied into others. Thats all I ever want.


A thanks to Betsy for the encouragment in our conversation, just listening to me pouring my heart out was more than enough.
