Life's good, busy busy busy though!!

Last night I had the opportunity to volunteer for a Compassion booth at a Sonicflood concert, which was really awesome!!  The guy who heads up this is Steve Kimmerer, whose brother is the drummer in the band, and also another guy talked and prayed with us before the concert, his name was Grant and he plays Bass/Guitar for Sonicflood (and is also from Austrailia! )....the other two girls who helped me were really cool! Also, 13 children found sponsors while many other people took home packets...I really encourage you to look into sponsoring a child through Compassion, it's only $32 a month! Their website is http://www.compassion.com . 

How's life for everyone out there?? Let me know what's goin on!!

Three words: STARFIELD IS AMAZING!!!!!

that's me with them at the Dare 2 Share conference from this weekend!!!

"The Hand That Holds The World"

No greater joy
Is there than this
To know for what
We're meant to live

To hold Your hand
To touch Your face
To find ourselves
In loves embrace

I want to stand before the King
Join in the song that heaven sings
I want to hold the hand that holds the world

I want to know the mystery
Reach out and touch the majesty
I want to hold the hand tht holds the world

No greater love
Could be bestowed
That You would name us as your own

Your daughters sing
Your sons rejoice
They gather here before Your throne

You are, You are
The author of creation
We are, the chrildren of your heart

You are, You are,
The light of all the heaven
We rise, to worship all You are

they sang that song at Dare 2 Share, and let me tell you they're awesome in concert!!! *sigh* if ya wanna know more just ask me and I'll tell you everything....

WTC Attacks 5 years

I cannot believe it's been 5 years to the day of September 11, 2001....those terrible terror attacks....it is so sad to think about it....words cannot describe the pain I feel when I think about what happened nor can pictures tell the story....my heart goes out to all the people who lost a loved one, family member or friend....I can't imagine how they feel...also, I praise the Lord for all the survivors who never gave up & kept on fighting even though their situation looked fatal...also thank you for all the fire-fighters, police officers, and other workers who died trying to save lives, they will forever be remembered, and to the ones who helped clean up the humongous mess it all left behind...we're so thankful for you!!  here are some sad reminders of what happened on that horrible day.....

These lyrics remind me some of this so here they are.....

Gone without goodbye

Brian Littrell
by Billy Mann

Have you seen my son?
Not too tall, five-eight
She held up a color copy photograph from his wedding day
This is his pregnant wife
Carrying his last dream
He walked down 46 floors before he felt the rush
The rush of gasoline

I can feel the pain
Looking in their eyes
But I don't know gone without goodbye
If I could reach the sky
I'd bring him right back to your arms
Though I haven't seen your son
He's forever in my life

Have you seen my little girl?
She's got curly black hair
She took this raggedy anne doll everywhere
Last I saw her over there
Then I heard a choir of screams
And a speeding van
I watched his tears pour down
A father's last attempt at being a rational man

I can feel the pain
Look into his eyes
But I don't know gone without goodbye
If I could reach the sky
I'd bring her right back to your arms
Though I haven't seen your girl
She's forever in my life

Have you seen my faith?
It can run and it can hide
Jesus, mend this breaking heart of mine
It keeps our love alive

I can feel the pain
Look into my eyes
But I don't know gone without goodbye
If I could reach the sky
I'd try to turn the world around
So that we could see the face
And forever stay alive

*R*I*P* Those who lost their lives in all the terror attacks of September 11th 2001...you'll forever be in our hearts!

Praying For Sunny Days
BY: Hyper Static Union

The thunder echoes from the mountains to the waves
Sometimes I wish I could tell the clouds to behave
Calm the stormy seas just by stretching out my hand
But I am just a man, only a man so I’m

Chorus:
Praying for sunny days to return to me
Seeking the warmth of the solar rays
I’m not just seeing the grey skies in front of me
Praying for sunny days

This torrential downpour has my brain in a trance
I’d get up and move, but I just can’t dance
Lord, You know that I’ve done all that I can
But I am just a man, only a man so I’m

Chorus:

Rain, rain go away, I have faith that you won’t stay
I don’t care what doubters say, sunny days will come my way
Then the birds come out to play by the light of one sun ray
Now I kneel me down to pray, please God give me sunny days

Chorus

I'M BACK, and I left my heart in the *Dominican Republic*!!!!!
