YOu lead me very far away
Into this hurting place
You take me far away from home
Though I'm never alone
You show me hurt, pain, despair
Needy people everywhere
You show me orphans without care
Hungry children everywhere
And so I question as I see
Just what you want from me
How can I go back there,
back to comfort, luxury, not a care.
I need a vision somehow,
I need a word from You right now.
There is silence in the air
And questions everywhere.
Now that I have seen
I have to take responsibility
To act and love and care
For the people left back here
It doesn't fit with the American Dream
Doesn't follow a movie or a magazne
it's gonna' take a step of faith
To get me to this place
I just want my life to be
A lovely, fragrant offering
But I know that this will mean
Alot of sacrificing.

From my journal on 6/27:
Searching out my calling here. My role. I don't knowhow this passionand burden fits into my life back home. Shopping malls, restaurants, dorm shopping, vacations. All good things, yet how to balance priorities. Search my heart, Lord.
