im really learning what it means to have faith in God right now. actually, thru this whole process i have learned. but while my last month dwindles down and i still need funds for my trip... i am REALLY learning. i have pretty much one month until my funds have to be in and i still have a good chunk left. i am so thankful for all the support that i have already recieved. seriously, it blows my mind. im just trying to keep my head up and trust that god will provide. he has called me to jeffrey's bay and i know that he will provide. im following his will for my life, which is a totally awesome one if i might say... so i trust that the money will be there. its a huge test of my faith. its a process that tends to make you ask what if's but at the same time you know that he will take care of you. ok enough of the worrying...

I AM SO EXCITED! as my days dwindle down i just keep getting more and more excited! i cant wait to go! i just cant wait. period.

I was sure by now,God, that You would have reached down

and wiped our tears away,

stepped in and saved the day.

But once again, I say amen

and it's still raining

as the thunder rolls

I barely hear You whisper through the rain,

"I'm with you"

and as Your mercy falls

I raise my hands and praise

the God who gives and takes away.

And I'll praise you in this storm

and I will lift my hands

for You are who You are

no matter where I am

and every tear I've cried

You hold in your hand

You never left my side

and though my heart is torn

I will praise You in this storm

I remember when I stumbled in the wind

You heard my cry to You

and raised me up again

my strength is almost gone how can I carry on

if I can't find You

and as the thunder rolls

I barely hear You whisper through the rain

"I'm with you"

and as Your mercy falls

I raise my hands and praise

the God who gives and takes away

I lift my eyes unto the hills

where does my help come from?

My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth

I lift my eyes unto the hills

where does my help come from?

My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth

-casting crowns, praise you in the storm.

this is probably one of my favorite songs ever... i love jeremy camp.

Holy Fire burn away,

my desire for anything

that is not of you and is of me.

I want more of you and less of me.

Holy Fire burn away,

my desire for anything

that is not of you and is of me,

I want more of you and less of me, yeah.

Empty me,

Empty me, yeah,

Fill, won't you fill me,

with you, with you, yeah.

, I want more of you, Jesus.

I want more, I want more.

Thank you, Jesus.

-jeremy camp, empty me.
