Highlights and a song

Some highlights from the past week:

• Having more time to myself, for others, and most importantly for God. It's been amazing how things are in the right perspective when God is in the center of your life.
  
• Speaking at the Chapel Service. Spoke on the 2 things you can take with you when you leave this earth: your relationship with God and the impact you've made on others, and related it to the theme "Works in Progress".
  
• It was fun to meet the Christian alumni too. Spoke with Nancy, the alum speaker at the service, and I think it was one of those God-appointed moments. She's a professional psychologist... a doctor! :) I feel my future coming into focus a little bit more.
  
• Connecting with cool people everywhere - in Exit 69, in the christian community, outside of Carleton.
  
• Going to the Greenvale Elementary School. I help out at a third grade class. It is a lot of fun. Today one boy had the hiccups... I couldn't stop smiling. It was the cutest thing. I told him holding his breath might help... and he did. I had to keep an eye on him to make sure he didn't kill himself. :)
  

I also wrote a song that I'd like to share with you. It's called Is Anyone Out There?.
I see it in your eyes
The pain you keep inside
From all the times you’ve been abused, rejected, hurt and scorned
I hear it in your voice
The fear that once was joy
Because of all the broken words and words that have broken you
I see you reaching out
Then pulling back in doubt
And I can hear you whispering so silently
Crying out so tenderly

Is anyone out there?
Anyone who can mend this broken heart and make it whole
Is anyone out there?
Anyone who can tell me I don’t have to face this on my own
Is anyone out there?

I feel it in your touch
How it’s hurting you so much
How you cannot seem to find a way to leave the past behind
I know you are afraid
Of what was and what’s been said
And in spite of all you do the answers keep eluding you
I see you reaching out
Through all the fear and doubt
And I can hear you whispering so silently
Crying out so tenderly

Is anyone out there?
Anyone who can catch these teardrops every time they fall
Is anyone out there?
Anyone who can be with me and hold me through it all
Is anyone out there?

You see me reaching out
Through all my fear and doubt
And I can hear You whispering so silently
Crying for me tenderly

I’ll be with you out there
I’ll be the one to mend your broken heart and make it whole again
I’ll be with you out there
I’ll be the one to tell you you don’t have to face this all alone
I’ll be with you out there
And every time you cry I’ll catch the teardrops from your eyes
I’ll be with you out there
Until the end of time I’ll be with you and call you mine
I’ll be with you out there
