7/13

First of all I'd like to address something. A friend of mine said to me that I was bad at blogging, and I agree with him, in fact I take pride in the fact that my thoughts are so deep and complex that they cannot be expressed within a few short paragraphs. So if my blog writing gets poorer and poorer then you can tell I'm really having a good experience here.

School started back today, this term lasts for about five weeks, and I leave for home the day after this term ends. I'll be going to the Good Shepherd school in the mornings to help out there with whatever they need. I'm also going to try and spend some time with a missionary here in Grahamstown and going around with him to whatever ministries he may be doing in the afternoons.

Also I've been listening to this song a few times and the lyrics have been encouraging to me, so I thought I'd share it. The song is called "Light" by The Rocket Summer

All I needed was a light
In the darkest place
I've ever been in all my life
As I try to find my way,
And the changing seasons of my life
And my eyes don't see
The things I love have run their course,
Are they done?
Are they just beginning?

And I'm old enough to know
That time doesn't move slow,
And I'm young enough to know
That I can't ever be too "old enough" to trust you.
Higher and higher
I wanna go away with you,
Some say your fire, your fire
Is through,
And I don't wanna think that way.

So you lost your job and lost the girl
And it crushed your soul.
And now your standing out alone
with a fork in the road,
So you wet your finger
Hold it up,
But there's no wind there
Telling you where you where you should go,
So you try, try to trust
While you bear it

And I'm old enough to know
That time doesn't move slow,
And I'm young enough to know
That I can't ever be too "old enough" to trust you.
Higher and higher
I wanna go away with you,
Some say your fire, your fire
Is through, But I don't...

I am yours, do what you wish
I am yours, I am yours
And I know this.
Whatever happens next
Is in your hands, in your plans
Nothing less.
Every day there is a choice
And through the joy,
Through the pain
I will rejoice
I am yours, do what you wish
I am yours, I am yours
And I know this

Save me
'Cause I need it,
And I can't help but feel desperate.
My desires, they seem
Were coming to their endings,
But I will trust it's not the end
But a great beginning
