"I will rise and I will stand,
getting off of my knees and my hands.
I will walk as You lead,
and look beyond what I can see.
I will speak from my heart
and not let pride tear truth apart.
I won’t fear another man ‘cause he is dust just like I am.
I will learn as I go,
test the things that I think I know.
I will love without return,
light my fears on fire and watch them burn.
I will hope in unseen things,
and I will dance when my heart sings.
I’ll believe just like a child,
let my fondest dreams run wild.
I will rest for a short while then I’ll go another mile.
I will be what I believe and I will give as I receive.
I will choose without regret
cause rolling dice is a coward’s bet.
I will seek for what is real,
not let pain teach me how to feel.
Cause in this journey when the night is done,
I will set my face towards the sun.
I will not look back. No, I will not look back."

Bean -
I've missed you too. :) Thanks so much for the, ever-brilliant, Elisabeth Elliot insights.
My friend Nicole got back from Taize yesterday and she and I went out and had a fabulous talk about all she experienced there. One quote she shared with me from some of the teaching there is along these lines of God's will:
"Do we believe God respects and trusts us enough to have a will for our lives?"
