Strong Tower

There is this amazing song by Kutless, a Christian rock group called "Strong Tower"

"Strong Tower"

When I wander through the desert
And I'm longing for my home
All my dreams have gone astray
When I'm stranded in the valley
And I'm tired and all alone
It seems like I've lost my way

I go running to your mountain
Where your mercy sets me free

[chorus]
You are my strong tower
Shelter over me
Beautiful and mighty
Everlasting King
You are my strong tower
Fortress when I'm weak
Your name is true and holy
And Your face is all I seek

In the middle of my darkness
In the midst of all my fear
You're my refuge and my hope
When the storm of life is raging
And the thunder's all I hear
You speak softly to my soul

I think this song is a good motivational song. It has kind of become my theme song. I bought the ring tone for this song for my cell phone and I use it as my alarm. I love to wake up to chorus. It starts my day of with confidence.

El Salvador

I am going to El Salvador in june. I am very excited to go. There was a meeting recently to discuss the trip and also background information on the culture and history of El Salvador and its people. I am nervous. I have never experienced missionary work before. The more I learn about the people of El Salvador and the hardships they face just to survive makes me feel like a very selfish person. I know that I am very blessed, but I also know that I take for granted much of the things in my life. Food for instant. When i look at my life and how i take food for granted I feel very sad. I don't just eat what I need to get by, I eat in excess. I am ashamed of my eating. I try to do my best each day, but I don't seem to make it. The more I see how this selfish excess consumes my life the more I realize it is time for a change. I need to change my ways of living. I need to be better in life and not take food for granted. i am blest to have a job that pays me decent money so that I can by food and live very comfortably. I can't forget that.
