Breathe in...

I can hardly believe that I'm leaving tomorrow.
There is this incredible fear and calm at the same time. It's like nothing felt before. I am ready for an adventure. I'm not ready to leave my friends when it feels like they're all coming back from Summer adventures.
I sit here with bracelets on from Hume, Puerto Rico and Kenya. With them are a thousand stories and sweet friends' memories.
...JJ Heller just released her new CD, "Painted Red" and it couldn't have come at a better time.

"I have unanswered prayers. /I have trouble I wish wasn't there. /I have asked a thousand ways that you would take my pain away/You would take my pain away/ I am trying to understand/How to walk this weary land/ Make straight the paths that crooked lie before these feet of mine/When my world is shaking/Heaven stands/When my heart is breaking,/ I never leave your hands/ When you walked upon the earth, /you healed the broken lost and hurt/ I know you hate to see be cry,/ One day you will set all things right/ When my world is shaking/Heaven Stands/ When My heart is breaking/ I never leave your hands/ Your hands that shape the world are holding me/They're holding me They hold me still/ When my world is shaking, heaven stands/When my heart is breaking/ I never leave you/When My world is shaking/ Heaven stands/ When my heart is breaking/ I never leave / I never leave your hands."

Oh, what a beautiful songs, words and voice. You can download it for free (I know, right??) HERE.
I so love God, and I so desire to see him this week. A long week, friends. Keep me in your prayers, loves. I'll write you in 4 days when I have internet--in my dorm room.
Breathe in.
