Today was a very random day, yet at the same time, entertainingly cute. So at church Karen met her anchor family and they invited both of us to lunch! How fun to get to go to lunch in N. Charleston with people we dont even know! Whoa baby, so much better than microwaved food! Anyways, last night we were listening to the cd Spoken For by Mercy Me in the car and so of course I had to play it more today... So while running the 2nd song called "Here am I" came on. It hit me how the song and the messages in BCM have been intertwined lately. They both are all about being willing to let God use you. The lyrics to the chorus are:

"Whom shall I send? Who will go for me? To the ends of the earth Who will rise up for their King? Here am I, send me. Here am I, send me

I wanna proclaim the love of Jesus in all I do and say, Unashamed Whom shall I send? Who will go for me? To the ends of the earth Who will rise up for their King Here am I, send me. Here am I, send me!"

Do I eminate a willingness to be used by God? Or do I just go through the church motions? Because sometimes I think I'm searching Him out, yet in actuality, its just the motions! Maybe God is using me, thats a pretty cool thought! The all-powerful ruler of the universe who is my friend and who wants to spread His message to those around me! What a priviledge!!! God truly is my Yahweh Tsidkenu

So on another topic: A very special person told me that I was one of "the best random things God has ever done for them" but to that person, who I know will read this: Thank you so much for making me smile, for seeing through my hard exterior to who I really am and for blessing me each and every day! All I can say is Thanks, which doesnt quite seem enough, but it's all I know how to give! So, Thanks!!!

Christmas is soon, very very soon, is your heart in the right frame of mind for it? Is mine? Only 18 days to get it straight!!! To Naptown: cant wait to see ya'll!
