Summer Nights

My room is muggy... I think most of the cold air my air conditioner blows somehow escapes and goes outside because I don't feel anything cold in this little room.

I'm listening to Lecrae. I found a new song of theirs that I love. It's called "Far Away". He wrote it for Haiti.

"Far Away" ~ Lecrae

Far Far Away (You feel) Far Away. (You Seem) Far Away.. So So (x2)
Hopeless!
I can spell it
I can smell it in the air
Lotta people wonder if you still care
And are you still there
Cuz I dun lost it all
I keep calling your name
But do you hear my call
And are you still involved
Or am I left alone
I wander the streets
Cuz I no longer have a home
My brothers all GONE
My sisters all GONE
My families and my friends aint gonna be here in the Mornin
Ya see me hear mourning
They say you feel my pain
They say you went through it
Say to die is to gain
But I aint gain nothing
I lost everybody
Now Im losing my mind
And my faith is all Im counting
Im still holding on
Thats why Im still pray
Feelin empty inside
I cant make it through today
I dont know what else to do
I dont know what else to say
Im talking to ya now
But I promise you feel so far


Far Far Away (You feel) Far Away. (You Seem) Far Away.. So So (X4)

Dear hope: Been waitin on ya for a while now
Been cut so deep that I aint sure if I can smile now
Look at this devastation
Look at the pain and sorrow
Somebody fed me lies and promised me a bright tomorrow
I know the God I follow
Is bigger than disaster
Big enough to handle
Any evil that harasses us
But I feel like he passed us
Pain overtook us
Buildings tumble over head
As the ground shook us
God have you forsook us
Lord you still with me
I know you save souls
I trust you to forgive me
Relief can you hear me
Hey Rest can you get me
Hey Peace can you see me
Hey love can you heal me
I dont know what to do
I aint looking for answers
I just need you to hold my hand
Through this cancer
Tell me you never left
Even in the midst of death
Breathe on me I'll do anything to feel your Breath

Far Far Away (You feel) Far Away. (You Seem) Far Away.. So So (X4)
(PSALMS 62:5-8)
5. For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence,
for my hope is from him.
6. He only is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress; I shall not be shaken.
7. On God rests my salvation and my glory;
my mighty rock, my refuge is God.
8. Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before him;
God is a refuge for us.

(Far far away.) Hes not (Far Away) No hes not (Far Away) Our Gods not Even though he seems

I think of Joplin when I read the lyrics. And my oldest brother...

Tonight my friends and I are going to Vintage Paris to hear Nathan's friend play Jazz. I think it will be fun. I'm really looking forward to having some good coffee. I really miss my Daddy and his coffee. And my sister and her coffee. There isn't anything like it. :-)

I can hardly wait for the weekend. We're going to First Baptist Branson for church on Sunday. I've really missed going there. It kinda feels like home when I'm there. My sister and I usually go together and we're taking Nathan with us this time. Unfortunately Dan has to work at the dairy this weekend, but I know he would love it. Daniel is a new person. :-) I love saying that. I could say it all day long. It always brings tears to my eyes as I know what a 'new person' is. It's so evident and everytime I'm around Daniel I see the joy of the Lord shining through him. Especially his eyes. I remember praying for Dan and asking God for the day that I would be able to see his eyes fill with the precious Light. I want to tell everyone. MY BIG BROTHER IS A NEW PERSON!!!!!!!!!!
