| | soooo....
this might be a record for the longest time since i last blogged. i apologize for that. maybe this can be one of my creative outlets while i am down here in el salvador again. things have been good the past couple of days...i have really been enjoying myself and gotten to do some cool things and see some of my good friends. some things that i forgot about while i have been down here....
-how crazy the driving is
-how relational the people are (always talking and always spending time with each other)
-all of the caliche (street speak) that i forgot about
-how insanely crazy busy candace's life is (the missionary that has been down here for four years....hardly with a break...she is getting her master's in education, the head of children's ministry here in VidaNueva (there are over 100 kids and 50 leaders involved in that), the head of the AWANA program for the entire COUNTRY of el salvador, plus she has friends, a social life, and tons of other projects she is involved in. it stresses me out just thinking about her life. and makes me sad because she is such a hard worker and would do ANYTHING for anybody, but never gets to rest. and God calls us to rest. Commands us to rest. i am the same way, but sometimes life just wears you out. and if you dont rest, then you die early....
-how american-ized everything can be down here, and also how poor everything can be. (they have burger king, wendy's, kfc, papa john's, pizza hut, quiznos, subway, mcdonald's, bennigan's, tgi-fridays, TCBY, etc. etc.)
that is all i can think of for now. here are some songs lyrics i really enjoy and hope you do too!
I will run the streets and hostile lands
I will touch the rain with all I have
I will breathe the air, just scream it loud
My feet will never touch the ground
Because the days they feel like ancient clocks
Like when kids grow up and learn to walk
Because your life is full of pure desire
A place so gloriously wired
The lights and sounds
Oh God this is such a mess
And it's like our world
But we're the last ones left
And the hair it stands
On the back of our necks
And I swear it shows
Heaven must be just like this
Do you see the hills beneath the clouds?
The stars and its to lead you out
Can you sense the pain? It's everywhere
And if you try you'll never care
And the love you had
When you were young
Is right outside for all to come
Because your life is full of pure desire
A life so gloriously wired
The lights and sounds
Oh God this is such a mess
And it's like our world
But we're the last ones left
And the hair it stands
On the back of our necks
And I swear it shows
Heaven must be just like this
If you see the light break through the clouds
And fire up the distant towns
Now the world will be begin
Exactly how it ends
When you call for help when you are lost
For evermore or what ever it costs
And the world will begin
Exactly how it ends
Please stay
Don't go
I've got you now
Are you curious?
Please stay
