Once again I said my goodbyes to those I love most
My heart feels that familiar pain as I long for home
‘Cause this road is hard when I feel so far

 
God I’m crying out tonight ’cause I’ve given You my life


But I’m tired and I’m missing what’s behind


So once more here’s my life

– Barlow Girl

 

I downloaded this song when I joined the World Race, and I listened to it again on the plane from Charlotte to Los Angeles where I  meet my squad to leave for the Philippines tomorrow.  All I can do is keep giving my life to Him and telling Him He is better.  He is better than my bed, He is better than hot showers, and He is even better than family and friends.  As God strips me of everything else, He is becoming everything to me.  I don’t want to be stripped, but I do want Him.  He is asking me to do some crazy things for Him this year, and I don’t feel ready but I’m jumping in head first anyway.  I don’t know what I’m getting myself into, but He does….

 
So here I go.
