from the faces i have seen

i have seen so many things

dealing in the realm of hurt and pain.

why the bitter eyes when

this world is not our home-

someday we can be where we belong.

there'll be dancing all night

on feet that never tire-

and our hearts will never weigh us down again.

the sunshine won't remind us of

the happiness we're lacking-

or of tears running from our wounded souls.

our father and our lover

will fovever hold us closer-

when that day we call forever finally dawns. 

               I'm sunny with the high

            of 75...

            since you took my heavy heart

            and made it light

            and it's funny how you find,

            you enjoy your life,

            when you're happy to be alive. !

             today is the first day of break. i watched treovor and we destroyed my living room with sumo wrestling. haha. it was pretty much awesome. i only have to work one day this week then i'm off to pennsalvania for the weekend. then it's back to school. grossss. yesterday was easter. i can't even fathom that Jesus would die, sacrifice everything, go through extreme fear and visit the worst places of the world with my sin and guilt on his back....becuase he saw my face (and the faces of everyone). how do you grasp that kind of love. if only i could get it a little, the extent of that love then maybe i could give it back.

              japan, hope you're having fun and i hope you had a GREAT birthday!

              charlie....how's SC?

              bilzy you rock hard core..yup we're both left here.

              okay i love dlt peeps and fellow lighthousers and camp friends and nicaragua team members and i wish i just hang out with ya'll all the time. maybe in heaven!!

              laterrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Currently Listening Come Away with Me By Norah Jones see related

                       D.L.T girls...this is a shout out to ya'll cuz you guys seem to be really into xanga! i was once upon a time. haha.

                  so nicaragua was incredible. there simply aren't the words to tell you how it changed my life and i still miss it like crazy.

                 right now my life consits of school, flowers, friends, and a couple different churches.

                  God is amazing! i need to let go and become like a little child again in many ways. -the utter trust and unconditional love- i also have been realizing how seriously i take things that have no lasting value or worth.

                   i love the saying "failure isn't falling down it's staying down." that would be from milford girls i do believe.

      IN the car i just can't wait...is it cool if i hold your hand... (nod and smile cait, nod and smile)

  it's funny how stuff that's new becomes old extremely fast. -as in material things.

  i really do love xanga i just forget about it alot.

      only 2 and 1/2 weeks till i'm on my way.........from misery to happiness.........haha.....no nicaragua of course. geez i'm so excited.

     "i've never met a man who's fully alive, if i did i wouldn't be able to look him in the face" -i think i just messed that up a little but it's a quote by this dude who's name i simply can't spell and i just tried every way i could think of and no luck. so goodnight 

                         in the city.

                        sun cascades down metal structures.

                        unimaginable smells.

                        bright lights of broadway.

                        mad good singers.

                        art. all over.
