This song is probably one of the most comforting things in my life right now. The past few weeks have been a huge whirlwind. I've had amazing days and absolutely dreadful days. The lyrics of this song just speak right to me. "If you feel lost and tired, this is your song. Oh My God, shine your light on us". I couldn't think of a better way to describe myself emotionally right now. I'm not even sure why I'm posting this but I felt really strongly about it. I guess I would just really appreciate prayers.. I don't know what I'm supposed to do about a lot of things so prayers are definitely necessary.

i've been waiting for inspiration to strike for about a month now. in that month, i've gathered much to talk about.
first- i got "the message" tonight and am excited to read a different translation of the bible than i've read before. also, it's my first bible of my own which i'm super excited about.

second- i revisited the old sunday night post-youth spot tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it. i'm surrounded by really awesome people and i often fail to appreciate that.

third- i overheard the coolest conversation tonight at middle school youth group. i accidently walked into the auditorium while rob was talking to two 8th grade boys and decided it was okay to stay and listen. basically, they've struggled with a lot of things I haven't even struggled with and they see God's plan through all of it. i sometimes get caught up in the idea of being a senior and being so "wise" when really, i have SO much to learn and experience myself.
