Presentation, Herse, Volleyball, Child

So many things going on today. Presentation went well. The herse is hard to explain. Basically I was driving down the street and saw a herse with a lone driver. Now grant it, he could have been on his way back from a funeral, but there was no lemo or anything. I just found it strange for him to be driving a herse around like a car. Hum...

Volleyball...well, we lost. It has been a long time since I was frustrated over a sporting event but tonight I was. We played well and gave ISA a run for their money but we just couldn't hang onto the lead we had in both games.

Child....this evening has been long and lonely. In the midst of people all night I only found myself comforted by the company of Chris for a brief moment, Joel and Sarah, and by the words of this Mark Schultz song that I listened to about 6 times tonight.

You Are A Child Of Mine
(Mark Schultz and Chris Eaton)

I’ve been hearing voices
Telling me that I could
Never be what I wanna be.
They’re binding me with lies,
Haunting me at night,
And saying there’s nothing to believe.

Somewhere in the quietness,
When I’m overcome with loneliness,
I hear You call my name.
And like a father
You are near
And as I listen I can hear You say

You are a child of Mine
Born of My own design
And you bear the heart of life.
No matter where you go,
Oh, you will always know
You have been made free in Christ.
You are a child of Mine

And so I listen as
You tell me who I am
And who it is I’m gonna be.
And I hang on every word,
Knowing I have heard
I am Yours and I am free

But when I am alone at night
That is when I hear the lie
You’ll never be enough
And though I’m giving into fear
If I listen I can hear You say

You are a child of Mine
Born of My own design
And you bear the heart of life.
No matter where you go,
Oh, you will always know
You have been made free in Christ.
You are a child of Mine


Praise God for song! Tomorrow is Praise Day in chapel, my heart needs it.

Be Blessed!!!

Sorry you guys lost. I know the feeling. It is disappointing.

After losses like that I just have to remember how grateful I am for being able to play at all. It is much better than sitting on the sideline with a bum knee. I love soccer, and other sports.

Peace
