stories and songs.

hello again. :)

i hope you enjoy 'sarah tv' this week. :D i think it's right awesome myself. :) anyway, i didn't get to write my updates quite as i had planned, but it'll do i reckon. :) i'll write up a formal update and send it to church and through mom maybe next week.

things are pretty much the same here, fantastic. :) half my team is gone at the moment, out of town with the neighbors. it's been a nice, quiet weekend. we learned on thursday that aaron is going home early. he flies out tonight. i don't know the whole story, just that family issues need to be taken care of now. please be in prayer for him as he travels and readjusts. we are sad to see him go, but God is in control, so we know it's all going to be fine.

we are now officially past the half way point: friday was ten weeks since i left home! i can't believe it; the time is just flying by. we had our midterm debrief today. i am so looking forward to how God is going to work in the next two months. :) He is just doing wonderful and amazing things.

continue to be in prayer for our ministry with the youth and in our community. pray for a developing relationship in our complex that could lead to someone being saved. :) pray that we would all continue to grow in love and trust of our Saviour, and that we would glorify Him in all things. pray for youth camp as December quickly approaches. i praise the Lord for my family here and where you are.

i love you all so much. :) talk to you again soon. but first, a few thoughts in song:

With Me
Chris Tomlin

I open my mouth and You speak for me
You move the mountains and roll back the sea

I will not afraid
I will never be ashamed
For You are with me
You are with me

I've seen enough to know
That You're my only hope
I don't want to go
If You're not with me

We open our hands and You reach for us
You are the motion of the universe

My Deliverer
Chris Tomlin

I will wait for You to move
For Your mighty hand to save
When the trouble water rise
You are my hiding place
You are my hiding place

You walls are salvation
Your gates are praise

My Deliverer
My Deliverer
My Deliverer
Is the Lord

Who is like You mighty God
Who can take me from Your hand
As I walk with You in freedom
You're the Rock on which I stand
You're the Rock on which I stand

Here in My Life
Hillsong

i have never walked on water,
felt the waves beneath my feet but
at your Word Lord, i’ll receive Your
faith to walk on oceans deep.

and i remember how You found me.
in that very same place,
all my failings surely would've drowned me-
still You made a way.

You are my freedom!
Jesus, You’re the reason
i’m kneeling again at Your throne.
where would i be without You
here in my life, here in my life?

You have said that all the heavens
sing for joy at one who finds
the way to freedom, truth of Jesus
bought from death into His life.

and i remember how You saw me
through the eyes of Your grace.
and though the cost was Your beloved for me,
still You made a way!

You are my freedom!
Jesus, You’re the reason
i’m kneeling again at Your throne.
where would i be without You
here in my life, here in my life?

You are my freedom!
Jesus, You’re the reason
i’m kneeling again at Your throne.
where would i be without You
here in my life, here in my life?

You are my freedom.
Jesus, You’re the reason.
You are my freedom.
Jesus, You’re the reason!

&, because you asked nicely: hi Lilli. :) i love you, my darling sister.
