Island Lake

8/19/10

During our hike today we ran into the "Mushroom Man" A man who had picked some mushrooms on the trail and he began to tell us all about how to tell if mushrooms were good or not…remember "Gills Kill" he said…He gave us a taste of his mushroom…yum they were tasty…Kathy and I were able to find a couple of these mushrooms only found at high elevations…we ate them!

We set up camp at Island lake for three nights. We went fishing after setting up camp and Kathy caught a small rainbow trout…she let it go.

We were all really tired. I felt really alone in my tent tonight…missing Mell. I hate doing this without him to share it with.

This night the song "You Can Have Me" was running through my brain and wouldn't let go…

So I wrote down the lyrics to it…

“Your can have me” by Sidewalk Prophet

If I saw you on the street and you said come and follow me.

But I had to give up everything ...all I once held dear and all of my dreams. Would I love you enough to let go or would my love run dry when you ask for my life?

When did love become unmoving, when did love become unconsuming? Forgetting what the world has told me...Father of love you can have me....you can have me...

If your all you claim to be...then I’m not losing anything.

So I will crawl upon my knees...just to know the joy of suffering.

I will love you enough to let go...Lord I give you my life...I give you my life...

and I will never look back...So Jesus here is my heart…

All I once held dear…is gone…all of my dreams are gone…I didn't choose this but it is truth…

My husband is gone from this life and I must dream new dreams and hold tight to my Lord!

So He has me! I give Him my heart!

Jesus you have me! I have nothing left! You are all to me!
