Okay, so new link, I just realized that the last link I posted is not up to date for my current blog, so here it is:

God Bless!!!!

I hear the Savior say, "Your strength indeed is small, child of weakness, watch and pray, find in me your all in all." Jesus paid it all, all to Him I owe; sin had left a crimson stain, He washed it white as snow.

Lord, now indeed I find your power, and yours alone, can change the leper's spots, and melt the heart of stone. Jesus paid it all, all to Him I owe; sin had left a crimson stain, He washed it white as snow.

For nothing good have I whereby your grace to claim--I'll wash my garments white in the blood of Calvry's Lamb. Jesus paid it all, all to Him I owe; sin had left a crimson stain, He washed it white as snow.

And when, before the throne, I stand in Him complete, "Jesus died my soul to save," my lips shall still repeat. Jesus paid it all, all to Him I owe; sin had left a crimson stain, He washed it white as snow.

...I forgot what a beautiful song this is. Our God is truly awesome! Words won't even come to me right now...no word I use to describe the Lord and Savior of the Universe could ever be adequate. Jesus, what a beautiful name! Why He loves me I'll never know, but oh how thankful I am! I cannot wait to see Him face to face...how will it feel to touch Him, to fall down on my knees at His feet, at the feet of Jesus!?!

Life is full of so many twists and turns, people you thought you knew, you don't; the person you knew yourself tobe 3 years ago is gone; goodbyes are spoken and tears are shed; friends are lost and soulmates are found; people get married...I honestly don't know what i'm trying to get at right now.

This afternoon as I drove home from class I was listening to John Legend,enjoying the sunshine, and thinking about growing up, the people in my life, and the upcoming summer. I know it's rather early to be thinking about summer, but if things pan out the way I and some others would like them too, this summer could prove to be rather pivotal, and completely bitter sweet.

I have applied for a camp counselor job in New York, I would be gone for at least seven weeks if I get the job. My brother is preparing to leave for Kenya for the summer, Lord willing, if the violence over there does not escalate. And one of my best friends has applied to a midwifery school in the Phillipines, she would be gone for two years...and if I get the job in New York I would miss her last month in the states. I'm not  trying to be depressing or anything...it's just life, it's growing up.

The people I love most in the world won't always be just around the corner, they won't always be in the same state, or same country, and neither will I. As hard as that is for me to think about, I find comfort in the tie that binds us. When God is the foundationof your relationships, when He is at the center of your heart, of your life, the ache that you feel when you miss those people, the tears that you cry on your pillow...it's just, God will wipe those tears away, He is near to thr broken hearted, He will hold you and me in the palm of His hand whispering His love in our ears, putting His arms around us...He loves us and He will comfort us and guide us. The God of the Universe, the Savior of the World, He is the one that will bind up our wounds.

God Bless!!!!
