Here I am four days away from graduation and writing a paper. Crazy. It's real hard to let it all sink in when you're still working hard, you know. It's just to crazy to think that life as I've known it since I was a five year old in Kindergarten is about to cease to exist. I've been in school for my whole life pretty much, minus those 5 years pre-kindergarten. What am I going to do with myself? Will I know how to function without homework and a class schedule? We shall see... we shall see.
I am excited though. I am really excited to see what the Lord has planned. I have no clue what I'm gonna do in the Fall. I'm just waiting on the Lord, that might sound crazy to some, but as for me there is no other choice that makes sense. I know that He has plans for me, I just don't know what they are yet. :) I feel like he's telling me to "wait" so that is what I'm doing. I look forward to let you all know what I'm "waiting" for. Exciting huh.
I finally was able to write a song about Mexico. I'd been working on it for awhile, but it just wasn't coming to me. I started it while I was there. It's about my two favorite people while I was there, the people that really stuck in my heart- the prostitutes that we drove by each night and the little girl that I gave my leftover dinner to. The song goes like this:
Look at those big brown eyes
The beauty behind them
She gives herself away for whatever they'll pay
Her value doesn't lie there
But how do you convey that she's more beautiful then she thinks
And how do you explain a love that comes free?
It's beyond me, yeah it's beyond me
Look at those big brown eyes
The potential that lies there
She has nothing to call her own- she begs for everything
And she's only three
How do You convey she's more valuable then she thinks
How do You explain a love that comes free?
Use me, yeah use me
The world says their dispensable
But You say they're invaluable
The world says they're a lost cause
But You say nothing's impossible with You, with You
So how do I convey, that they're more valuable then they think
And how do I explain a love that comes free?
Use me, yeah use me.
It's beyond me, but use me.
Or something like that, I'm sure it will go through some changes and revamping at some point.
If anyone happens to read this, pray for me. Pray that I'll be patient and wait on the Lord and pray that I'll finish all this work and graduate!

Hi there!
I was poking around after reading Vanessa's blog and read yours ;)
You asked at the end that if anyone reads this to pray for you.
So I will do just that :)
Waiting is so hard to do, such a lost art (or character trait as it were). A song that I love has the words "Stand still, and let God move...standing still is hard to do." I pray that you will stand still until you know what to do, even if it feels like everyone is pressuring you to make a decision about something. I have no idea if that's even what you're dealing with, but I just felt like I should encourage you in that :)
And I owe you something for letting me steal your bed last December ;)
Be blessed!
