Vine St.

I LOVE my ministry! I can't believe that God has put me in such a great place to minister to people at. I would have never in a million year have thought that I would love working with intercity people. I know that isn't were I'm going to spend the rest of my life, but it's right where I need to be.
On Sunday morning I cook for all the people. It's so great to hear people say that they like my food, even though I usually don't let being praised. I find it very nice to hear people say thank you and that I did a good job.
Now, on Sunday afternoons...I do Vine Kid's Klub. This isn't something that I ever thought that I would be doing...but the Lord opened the door and I walked through it. He is my help when it come to this. There's no way I'm doing it on my own. I'm so thankful for His help not only at Kid Klub but at cooking as well....I know that God keeps His promises to everyone.

Found My Muse!

Writing poems and such isn't a strong suite for me. I'm not good with words on paper usually, but today I started to write again. I haven't done this in some time.

Staring at the people outside my window
Wishing I could hear their stories but
I just stay right where I am
Cuz, I know that they will never understand
The reasons why I can't just let go
Of everything I am

Seeing their smiling faces and
Knowing that I may never have that feeling
The tears start coming and once again

I'm staring at the people outside my window
Wishing I could hear their stories but
I just stay right where I am
Cuz, I know that they will never understand
The reasons why I can't just let go
Of everything I am

This isn't anything that is special, but something that I'm working on.
I'm so happy that I have once again found my muse. Oh the beauty to be found in the written word. I'm sure that I will have more to write about in coming days.

HomeSick

This song is pretty much me right now. I've never want to be somewhere else more.

You're in a better place, I've heard a thousand times
And at least a thousand times I've rejoiced for you
But the reason why I'm broken, the reason why I cry
Is how long must I wait to be with you

I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now

Help me Lord cause I don't understand your ways
The reason why I wonder if I'll ever know
But, even if you showed me, the hurt would be the same
Cause I'm still here so far away from home

I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now

In Christ, there are no goodbye
And in Christ, there is no end
So I'll hold onto Jesus with all that I have
To see you again
To see you again

And I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow

I've never been more homesick than now

I don't know the Lord's way's and I won't for sometime. All I know is that I miss you a lot.

Beautiful Life

It's almost the weekend? I have no clue where the time has gone. Most of my days are spent doing homework, socializing, and sleeping. Yesterday was a great day. Gave a speech, turned in a project, heard Dr. Brown speak in chapel, took a 3 hour nap, watched Odyssey with Jon, went shopping and ate Mexican with Elizabeth, had an amazing Prayer Meeting, hung with Chelle, and the went to bed. That is a great day in my book. To feel the accomplishment of having the speech and project done. Having been able to be in wonderful services where God moved in the hearts of His people. Then to spent time with people that know and love you. I couldn't ask for anything more than this life that God has so blessed me with. He is a wonderful and loving God.
Now, my list today may prove to be a great reward to. Just a couple of tasks need to be completed. I should probably set of to do them, but I leave you with this:
