... what to say...haven't said much lately, have I? I think my life is too boring. I have been home for two and a half weeks now. School has been in session, offically, one week. Currently I am driving a morning bus route that goes to Mounds View, Chippewa (both of which I attended!) and St. John's. They are all very nice routes. So far, so good. I wanted to get a special ed route again cuz they are cool, and then I will get more hours. But because of my seniority, it just didn't work out that way. So in the afternoon, I decided to be a stand-by driver. Which means they can send me just about anywhere, or I can sit there and get paid for two hours. So far I have gone somewhere everyday. They haven't been bad though. Yet I wouldn't mind just sitting there once in awhile. :)
Last weekend was Labor Day Family Camp. Always a good time. I think I interacted more with campers than in previous years...and that was cool. I worked in the craft shop, nursery (woot for Seth Watts and Kelli and Amy Stranz!), drove the tubing boat, hung out with teens...and Stranzs and Galls and Vanasses and St. Croix and Menomonie people..yeah..played some volleyball and Catch Phrase... :) For about an hour or so, late one night, Em and I sat down at the piano and just sang some worship songs for whoever listened. That was great...just gettin' us more pumped up for our up and coming CD. We both have been working on some writing. And if we haven't told you already...this "album" will be solely songs that we have written (or some that our friends have written or helped us write). You may be hearing before too long how you can obtain a copy of this CD. It is still a long ways off, but we can not afford to give it out, like we did the last one!
Just got home from youth group at River of Life. They are going to Valleyfair on Sunday. I haven't been there in, I think, seven years! So I think I will go! :)
I think that's all I have to say. I found a sweet new, beautiful song. It's called I Need You, by The Swift:
My heart is restless in me, my wings are all worn out
I'm walking in the wilderness, and I cannot get out
I need You, Oh, I need You, Blessed Savior come
I need You, Oh, I need You, fill the every longing of my soul
Oh how I need You, Lord, I need Your perfect Word
With tearful eyes to see the sin that I afford
I need to weep and pray for all the thousand ways that I have failed You just today
My bed is soaked with sadness, my sadness has no end
A downward spiral of despair that I keep falling in
I need You, Oh I need You, to You my soul shall fly
I need You, Oh, I need You, Yaweh, how I love You more than life
Your silence is like death to me
So won't You hear my desparate plea
Today my soul is soaring way over mountains high
Though I can see the valleys, they're all just passing by
It's not that I am stronger, look at my feeble wings
But I've been lifted higher, Yaweh's lifted me in His own strength
Oh how I love You, Lord, I love Your perfect Word
With tearful eyes to see the God who always will endure
Now I will celebrate for all the thousand ways that you have shown me grace
And made my heart in grace to stay, You've made my heart in grace to stay
Lord, make my heart in grace to stay
I need You, Oh, I need You
