Never alone

Wow, my last day or two have been pretty amazing. I've been learning so much about serving others. Today I attended church, deciding to sit by myself for the second service. But I wasn't by myself. I felt God's presence. I opened up my Bible before the service, reading from the book of Proverbs about how He will be found by those who seek Him. Going into the service, that was my prayer. That I would search for Him with an honest heart and that He would reveal Himself to me. Sometimes it's so easy to sing the words to worship songs without thinking about what we're actually saying. But when I was singing today, it was more than that: I was singing with joy from my heart. Almost to the point of tears. In fact, I came pretty close to crying, a few times. Especially when singing the song called "Always." One part in particular always hits me. "Hold me close in your arms. Oh God, I want to be with you." Powerful words.

Well, this afternoon I'm going out with some of my family to Caronport. My brother is going for a week of hockey camp there, so we're dropping him off. I thoroughly enjoy spending time with family and friends. And for some reason I've been liking car rides quite a bit recently, too. Have never really understood why :) Ok then, that's about it for me. Better go get ready. Ciao!
