More Than That

No time to spend with You
I wonder if I’m ever gonna change
Here we areWeve grown apart
And I know I’m the only one to blame
My heart is dying
‘Cause I’ve been so wrapped up in myself
I’m crying out
I’m desperate for help
And I need You more than ever, so I
Fall to the ground
‘Cause I want to be better
Though You take me as I am
You deserve more than that
New eyes to see You
Better than I ever have before
Ready to be who You made me to be
So with Your loving arms here to catch me,
I will fall to the ground
‘Cause I want to be better
Though You take me as I am
You deserve more than that
I’m no good on my own
I’ve been here way too long
I’m drawing near
Come meet me here
Save my soul
I fall to the ground
‘Cause I want to be better
Though You take me as I am
I want to give You more, give You more
As I fall to the ground
‘Cause I want to be better
Though You take me as I am
I want to give You more
‘Cause You deserve more than that
More than that
More than that
I want to give You more

friends, music, moving, life, and AFRICA

Friends:
Lately I have become better friends with some great people. It's been amazing getting to know a good friend better, and it's been so much fun meeting people at a second youth group I've started attending. I really truly love it! However as much fun as being with people is... I have to say I had so much fun with my bastis kompas (best pal in Swedish) the other day. I missed hanging out with her, and her/our family is pretty great too. But I definitely have been a missing those awesome moments of BriT time! :) ni so ka bastis!

Music:
So apparently I have the greatest music on earth? Yeah I really do! If you have the chance listen to nevertheless, needtobreathe, leeland, monk & neagle, family force 5, and nate sallie! Those are my current favorites. Although I have a playlist I listen to a lot... favorite songs of June 14th, 2008... The Last Night by Skillet, Tears of the Saint by Leeland, What Soldiers Do by Monk & Neagle, and What I Believe and Look At Me Now by Nate Sallie. But lately I have been super busy and just listening to music is so relaxing and nice.

Moving:
I AM MOVING!!!!!!!!!!!! I really can't wait. Although it's pretty sad I don't think I'll be able to see my house till it's already ours :'( But I am still excited! Although I won't be able to stay in my new house for a whole week till mid September!

Life:
It's stressful, but through all the stress at work (having my manager tell me I can't talk about what I believe on the floor) and all the school (which I am nearly done just have math tests and essays to write!!!) and packing (for working at camp all summer, and going to Mexico on a missions trip and going to possobly Africa, and of course moving) but between all that I have some amazing times with friends and family and some insane praise moments. Let me explain a litte about those insane praise moments, the music I have been listening to lately has just really been eye opening just sitting and listening to the words that are about how amazing God is, and how in awe we are of Him. Just.... I don't even know what words to use to describe it!

AFRICA:
I have been given the opportunity to go on a short term missions trip to Uganda in September! I don't know if it will work out or not, but I am certainly praying it does! I would be able to meet my sponsored daughter (Nuru) and well obviously I would be in Africa! But I just have to continue praying for God's plan ;) I will definitely write more about that later depending on if I go or not!

Anyways, it is late and I should be asleep because I have to start work in 8 hours! (see - brutally busy!) But I am just exciting at what God is planning to teach me! P.S. that was insanely random!
