at the end of the day, i feel like the only thing i can do is pray.

after all is said and i've done all that i can do, i gotta know that it's God who's going to see it all through... i've been reminded of things that i've done months/years ago that are resurfacing itself all over my life. in a 'full circle' sort of way. there are certain events that have happened in my life, that i didn't think twice about when it was actually happening, but now. wow. i understand why God put me through the things that i did or didn't do. and i'm seeing the consequences of my previous actions. it's been an interesting year. for me. at the end of the month, it will mark the ending of my AmeriCorps year, and going into trying to find a new job/career. i've been humbled, encouraged, and loved in so many ways this past year... God really has been watching over me, and surrounding me with friends who really love me.

in my crazy busy life, that i hope will calm down at the end of the month, i have to remind myself that a prayer filled with love and sincere concern can go a long way. and though i may not be there physically for a friend, i will always have love in my heart for my dear, dear friends... :) take care loved ones~

Lord I lift my friend to You.
I've done all that I know to do.
I lift my friend, to You.
Complicated circumstances
have clouded his view.
Lord I lift my friend up to You.

I fear that I won’t have the words
that he needs to hear.
I pray for Your wisdom , oh God.
And a heart that's sincere.
And Lord I lift my friend up
to You.

Lord I lift my friend to You.
My best friend in the
world, I know he means much
more to You.
I want so much to help him, but
this is something he has to do.
Lord I lift my friend up to You.

There's a way that seems so right to him.
But You know where that leads.
He's becoming a puppet of the world.
Too blind to see the strings.
And Lord I lift my friend up to You.

Lord I lift my friend to You.
I've done all that I know to do.
I lift my friend, to You.
