When I am alone
Here with you I'll sit at your throne.
I know that you don't even care
What time of day, as long as I'm here.

You draw me in
As if I've never sinned
And all I know
Is I'm your child.

There is no fear
Because you want me here.
You long to be close
To your created.

Your heart beats
The rhythm of my life.
Your message speaks
Of love.
You stand outside
Of this space and time
And everything you are and have
Is mine.

What can I say
To the faithful way
You pick me up
When I fall
And go astray?
I will never leave you
Never, ever leave you.
All I want is to hear
You breathe.

I will never leave you
For you have never left me
And I know you never will.

Well, it is Friday, and because Larissa is in Kirkland, we have the day off for the most part. The week went well, I think. Last night we had a time of worship and prayer with MC and youth at Covenant Life Church (where we also have class every day). The focus was on healing and our nation. As I am in charge of prophetic painting this year, I set up a couple easels for anyone who wanted to paint, and I ended up being one of them. It was really cool how God tied in my painting (as well as Frances') with the songs, prayers, and scriptures that were read. It's really cool, because just recently I have begun to see something change in the MC students. It's like God is softening them and they are finally becoming more comfortable with all of us. I think they are learning to trust and be free. God is doing great things down here; thank you so much for your prayers!!
