my heart aches for nepal, for the world. I long to be there serving. Father help me to wait on you and to trust that you will use me wherever I am. Lord take me back there someday!

Currently Reading: Jesus for President: Politics for Ordinary Radicals

so i'm in west palm beach pool side at the hilton waiting for my flight to the bahamas. it is so nice out. i forget how much sunshine can enhance everything. i realized how pasty white i am too. although, now i am a tad bit red! oh being fair skinned. i should live by the beach someday. i really do love it. there is something very freeing about it. i'm sure that i would miss the cornfields of indiana, but it'd be nice to be near water. i would even settle for lake michigan or something like that.
the book i am currently reading is very good so far.

goals(in no particular order): relax, refocus, read, build something in the sand, body surf ;), spend time with a great friend, not get fried to a crisp!

I saw what I saw and I can't forget it
I heard what I heard and I can't go back
I know what I know and I can't deny it

Something on the road, cut me to the soul

Your pain has changed me
your dream inspires
your face a memory
your hope a fire
your courage asks me what I'm afraid of
(what I am made of)
and what I know of love

we've done what we've done and we can't erase it
we are what we are and it's more than enough
we have what we have but it's no substitution

Something on the road, touched my very soul

I say what I say with no hesitation
I have what I have and I'm giving it up
I do what I do with deep conviction

Something on the road, changed my world

i get lost in the music. it carries me further away with every note, with every beat. i get lost in the melodic sounds. what is it about sigur ros that takes me to this other place. i want to completely surround myself with these sounds. i wish we could taste sound. i wish it had color to it. it's like i almost implode on myself. i picture myself floating through my own body. swimming in my own blood stream. floating on my back navigating the twists and turns of blood vessels and artery's. being pumped through organs, carrying life to every part of my body. this music take me to somewhere incredibly peaceful, like a deserted island, a dense forest or a safe friends living room. i am feeling creative and i want to paint.

surely we can change

Surely we can change by david crowder band

And the problem is this
We were bought with a kiss
But the cheek still turned
Even when it wasn't hit

And I don't know
What to do with a love like that
And I don't know
How to be a love like that

When all the love in the world
Is right here among us
And hatred too
And so we must choose
What our hands will do

Where there is pain
Let there be grace
Where there is suffering
Bring serenity
For those afraid
Help them be brave
Where there is misery
Bring expectancy
And surely we can change
Surely we can change
Something

And the problem it seems
Is with you and me
Not the Love Who came
To repair everything

Where there is pain
Let us bring grace
Where there is suffering
Bring serenity
For those afraid
Let us be brave
Where there is misery
Let us bring them relief
And surely we can change
Oh, surely we can change
Something

Oh, the world's about to change
The whole world's about to change

i really like the simple truth of this song. it reminds me of what i need to be exuding in my life and what i need to be praying for.
tonight i was struck with the truth that I (and everybody else) was made for Him. I was reading Colossians 1:16 and it just really hit me. I mean i think i knew this fact, but haven't really slowed down lately to meditate on it and on the implications of it. i am made for Him. For His pleasure and joy. I am also not His puppet. If i were God i would be very tempted to make something that did exactly what i wanted when i wanted it too. I love that God is not like that. What is the deeper meaning of the verse all things have been created by Him and for Him? What does it imply about our lives? How does He want us to respond to Him when we understand this truth?
