If you search for tenderness it isn't hard to find. You can have the love you need to live. But if you look for truthfulness You might just as well be blind. It always seems to be so hard to give. Honesty is such a lonely word. Everyone is so untrue. Honesty is hardly ever heard. And mostly what I need from you. I can always find someone to say they sympathize. If I wear my heart out on my sleeve. But I don't want some pretty face to tell me pretty lies. All I want is someone to believe. Honesty is such a lonely word. Everyone is so untrue. Honesty is hardly ever heard. And mostly what I need from you. I can find a lover. I can find a friend. I can have security until the bitter end. Anyone can comfort me with promises again. I know, I know. When I'm deep inside of me don't be too concerned. I won't as for nothin' while I'm gone. But when I want sincerity tell me where else can I turn. Because you're the one I depend u...

I don't know how to put "give me a chance" into paragraphs, but it simply means what it says. If people would give me a chance they'd see I'm probably truer than half their friends. Even those known the longest. I take pride in the people God brings/puts into my life. All of em. If not at the same time, at one point in time. Lord, I know Your time is perfect. And I am patiently waiting. And waiting. And waiting. I know not every one is the same. Your humbe and faithful Servant,

Our AO Haiti team got back this evening and choppy told me that she gave my pictures and letter to Wilma and his face automatically lit up and the he called Iglesias over to look too. Soon they had a group of kids looking at the pics. Ahh. And then they got a video of my boys saying hello to me. I cannot wait to see it! Hearing that brought tears of complete joy to my eyes! I am so glad they remembered me:) melts my heart and I can't wait to get back there! Mmm. I miss them. Thank you for protecting them.. And everyone else in this time we've been gone. And thank you for bringing our team back safely! I can't wait to spend hours looking through pictures and videos. Sigh:) They remembered me:) they remembered.. Thanks!:)

When I feel as if nothing is going right at all, when friends fail me, and it's hard to stand tall... I cry out to Jesus and He knows what to do. When I don't get the play right in a sport, or my parents see I did bad in a subject on my report... When the news can only tell of the bad and when sometimes its so hard to be glad.. I cry out to Jesus and He knows how to answer. When my brother annoys me just when I look at him and I don't know why. It could be because we don't at all see eye to eye, or when I'm overwhelmed with school work and have an attitude like a jerk.. I cry out to Jesus and He hears my plea. When I'm exercising and eating healthy and the weight just doesn't seem to want to fall off, or I feel like I'm sick even if it's just a cough. Maybe when I put in so much to others and don't get in thing back.. Why? What do I lack? I cry out to Jesus and He will be there When I'm hurting and no one sees it. When...
