update:

as of last saturday, contributed funds for Puli mission trip = $100
woohoo! :) thank you, friend, you know who you are. thank you, God, for providing. Both the funds and especially the friend :)

also, i've finished one of my testimonies! yay! thanks to yet another friend for dragging me out, away from the distractions in my house, and making me work on it. :)

that is all for now. thanks for catching up, and thanks everyone who is praying for me... i know you're out there!

one-armed lefty suffering from insomnia here... I wrote two journal entries today, rather painstakingly with my left hand and both rather heartfelt. i heard this song coming from my little sister's room (she's goes to sleep with a CD playing and it just keeps playing). it resonates with my unspoken thoughts and the unspoken prayer in my heart after my second journal entry ... so here it is.

Lookin' for love and I lost my way
Another long night has turned to day
Nobody likes to feel this way
So I draw close to You
It's what I'm supposed to do

Lookin' for love and I close my eyes
I run to you with no disguise
You hold me close and say "it's fine"
You take me in Your arms
And You soothe this heart of mine

And I throw my hands up in the air
Here's my heart 'cause I don't care-
What they say about me, I gotta praise
I throw my hands up in the air
'Cause I know that You will find me there
Find me when I praise

Lookin' for love and I hide my face
What about the scars and disgrace
But You meet me here in spite of my shame
Your blood covers it all
And You carry me away

My heart is on my sleeve and I am on my knees
And my hands are in the air, oh yea
And it's hard to believe that I am on my knees
With my hands in the air, oh yea
And You come close beside me
And You say You're here to guide me
I don't ever have to be alone
And Your love has led me home

Lookin' for love and I found my way
I ran to You and I heard You say
Everything's gonna be OK
I don't have to wait another day

When I Praise - FFH
