Today is the Day--Blue Scapular and Join the Confraternity of Immaculate Conception of BVM

Today is the day.  Today I give myself to my mother.  I am being invested in the Blue Scapular and joining the Confraternity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary.  I cannot wait to give her my all knowing she will give me to her Son.  I am so undeserving, so weak, so unworthy and yet she whispers my name and wants me to follow her. 


I have been emotional a lot today.  True to form, she gave me a song.  This one was written and recorded by the group Casting Crowns.  It says more than I could ever say on such a special day. 




Who Am I?


Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt?
Who am I, that the Bright and Morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart?

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who you are.

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours.

Who am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love and watch me rise again?
Who am I, that the Voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me?
not because of who I am
but because of what You done
not because of what I've done
but because of who you are.

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours

not because of who I am
but because of what You done
not because of what I done
but because of who You are

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours.

Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
'Cause I am Yours
I am Yours
