Lord, send us love. Fill our hearts with so much love that it overflows to everyone we meet. Every word. Every smile. Thank you for mercy. Thank you for your grace.

The wind is blowing so strong,
I can barely see.
But I can see it in my mind,
A picture of what I am to be.
I will wait on you,
I will wait on you,
I will wait on you, oh Lord.
I will wait on you,
I will wait on you,
I will wait on you.
It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done before.
To see the outcome of one I adore.
I will wait… I will be patient. I will rest.
In the beauty of your perfectness.
I will wait.
[new song, more to it later I am sure]

Tonight concluded my last ever Chamber Choir tour. I’m going to be honest and say I wasn’t expecting how emotional it would make me. Last night in rehearsal we sang the When I Survey. It brought tears to my eyes knowing that I would only get to sing those songs a few more times. I love that group. I love Dr. Williamson and the wisdom that he has lived out for us over these years.
I sat in the living room tonight being still asking the Lord to just speak to me. We always talk about scripture but I’m going to be honest, I don’t literally live it out that often. What I mean is, I know “Be still and know that I am God”. But how often do I do it? So tonight I sat in stillness and perfect quiet. I closed my eyes, I just started to pray and I asked the Lord to speak to my heart. I asked him to call me out on the things I have been doing wrong. I thanked him for blessing me with so many things. I just sat calm and still and allowed him to speak to me. Two things stuck out at me during that time. I need to love my friends more. I need to be an encourager. That can only work however, if I am daily in the word of God. Also, I need to be patient. I have to take one day at a time. As of late I have tried to plan the rest of my life in the last couple weeks. I am silly for doing that.
I’ve been struggling with some different stuff and today Evan being the great encourager that he is, really helped me. I know the Lord was speaking though him to communicate to me. Thanks Evan, it means the world to me that you are a man of God who is actively seeking the Lord. It means even more to me that you you listen. I just needed someone to listen big time. Thanks to my Mom as well! When your Mom prays for you on the phone it is so powerful.
Lately I’ve reached the point where I want to tell my family that stuff you would only usually tell your friends. I just don’t care anymore. And since I have started that I have received so many encouraging words. Thanks to my brother Franklin tonight. He’s a good big brother. He’s still watching out for me and his words of wisdom were very awesome. It’s cool I get to say this too.. He’s a great Dad to my nieces!
It was a good weekend over all. This morning we sang at FUMC of Asheville. One of the top sanctuary’s I have ever sang in. Absolutely incredible design and acoustics. We ended at First Baptist Taylors, SC tonight. Very modern designed place. Nice people though and lots of fun.
On the way back we gave our Senior speeches. It is tradition for the Seniors to get up at the front of the bus and talk about there years in choir and extend words of thanks, laughter, and memories.
