Hope Road

I wanna set the world on fire
Until it’s burning bright for You
It’s everything that I desire
Can I be the one You use?

I, I am small but
You, You are big enough
I, I am weak but
You, You are strong enough to

Take my dreams
Come and give them wings
Lord, with You
There’s nothing I cannot do

I wanna feed the hungry children
And reach across the farthest land
And tell the broken there is healing
And mercy in the Father’s hand

My hands, my feet
My everything
My life, my love
Lord, use me                                  (lyrics)

I don’t know what’s ahead. But I’m tired of being held back by my own fears. What does it mean? Again, I just don’t know. The possibilities are endless… I can’t wait to see what’s next!

It’s been a bit of a crazy few weeks here at school. Just one thing after another. Do you ever have those times of heightened self-awareness, when you feel like you’re learning new things about yourself, and just your own becoming, moment by moment? It’s the whole growing up thing, I think.

I’m going to read Taking Flight by Elisabeth Elliot soon. I got it for my high school graduation, started to read it, then realized it was more apropos for college graduation. So I’ve been waiting to read it for almost four years. I can’t believe that time is almost over. I truly can’t.

On that note, it’s time for bed.

“For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one died for all, therefore all have died; and He died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for Him who for their sake died and was raised.” (2 Cor. 5:14-15)
