Lost In You

So this is something i wrote in Manila... let's try it on for size..
STILL NEEDS WORK

I wish I could get lost in you
Just to look in your eyes and be lost for days
I wish I can stay in your arms
Where the sin and the brokenness in my world will never tempt me
Your love is more than I can comprehend
From a life so undeserving
A heart so impure
From a pile of ash and waste you call me daughter
Like a candle that burns to give light
My heart burns to see your justice come to this city
How can a life be so blessed when thousands around me are paralyzed
Life stood still and there is nowhere to go but down
Let the city become engulfed in your arms
Where sin and brokenness escapes them and
All they want to do is become lost in you.

Well Life has been so very busy lately, but to update people on my life. I was in Manila for three weeks, were we lived in a slum called Botocan. I got back Sep. 21st. Manila is hot but also so awesome. I made many amazing friends while I was there. God really has stretched me in my way of praying, specifically praying meaningful prayers for others and myself. What does it mean to intercede for the ones I love and the ones I do not even know? Every Tuesday we would stay with a family in the community and we were able to talk with them about their life and what they experinece while living in Botocan. It was amazing becasue I saw the face of Jesus in the the people in Botocan. The smile on their faces and the love they showed me and the team, while feeding us, playing basketball, singing Justin Beiber (or any other music), walking around, talking, or playing games. The people of botocan showed me more love and taught me more than, I feel, I gave back. If you want to know more about Manila call me or chat me up.

I am pretty much settled in my apartment with my two roommates and our neighbors are very kind. The other interns are amazing! Each of them has this unique spirit that makes our team a community :)I am trying to find a job still, as with more than half of the interns as well, it is proven pretty hard and sometime discouraging to not have stable income. God is a god of provision and he will provide for my needs! I say this with confidence because I know he will. Well If I think of more to write I will. Much love to you all!

Shalom
