over your head?

It's been quite a while since i've written on this blog.  Call it life, call it busyness either way it's been some time.

Earlier this summer my family and myself went for some much needed time at the beach.  While there I decided to get up early and go watch a sunrise.  I asked my wife and both of my daughters to go, all declined but one.  So Ali and me got up early one morning and proceded to leave all the others sleeping and go watch the sun come up.  It was probably the best day I've ever had on vacation.  We chatted about stuff on the three mile ride to the water.  As we approached the water the conversation shifted from random stuff, to talk about god. We sat on the beach and talked some more, I read from psalm 46 and we listened to the following song.  As it played we both sang along, as the waves crashed onto the shore.    The lord certainly met up that thursday morning well before many were awake.  I still am moved when I hear "In over my head - by bethel."

I have come to this place in my life 
I’m full but I’ve not satisfied 
This longing to have more of You 
I can feel it my heart is convinced
I’m thirsty my soul can’t be quenched
You already know this but still 
Come and do whatever You want to

I’m standing knee deep but I’m out where never been
I feel You coming and I hear Your voice on the wind

Would you come and tear down the boxes that I have tried to put You in
Let love come teach me who You are again 
Take me back to the place where my heart was only about You
And all I wanted was just to be with You 
Come and do whatever You want to

Further and further my heart moves away from the shore
Whatever it looks like, whatever may come I am Yours 
Further and further my heart moves away from the shore
Whatever it looks like, whatever may come I am Yours

Then You crash over me and I’ve lost control but I’m free
I’m going under, I’m in over my head
And You crash over me, I’m where You want me to be
I’m going under, I’m in over my head

Whether I sink, whether I swim
It makes no difference when I’m beautifully in over my head
Whether I sink , whether I swim
It makes no difference when I’m beautifully in over my head
I’m Beautifully in over my head
I’m Beautifully in over my head

So I ask tonight are you over your head?  Have you let your cares and worries go to the only one who can take them?  It comes down to surrender, either hold on, or let go.  I for one am "beautifully in over my head"
