Long Weekend

In about 12 hours my family and I will be departing from Freddy Town en route for Southern Maine for the weekend. We are driving to Kittery tomorrow, with a short stop in Freeport, and staying the night in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. On Sunday we are going to Rockport, ME to spend 2 days at Samoset Resort with the lovely Smith family (Liz Brewer's parents & brother). I'm pretty excited about it! I'm due for some good shopping!! haha And it'll be fun to spend a few days at Samoset, I just hope the weather is nice b/c every time we've ever gone there it's been foggy and rainy! Yippee for vacation...well, all I get for vacation this summer!

At Beulah, Josh Harris' little sister sang a song for a special and I loved it. She did an awesome job too! Ever since then I've been trying to figure out who sings it and what it's called. Well, I finally heard it on our Christian Radio Station today, JoyFM, and went on a search online today. I discovered that it's called "Awaken" by Natalie Grant. It's an awesome song, with lyrics that are really speaking to my heart right now. I leave you with those words and until I return from Maine....have a great long weekend all of you who get one! :)

Sometimes I feel like I’m just existing

I’m not really living
I’m only watching the time slip away
I’ve forgotten who I am in You
I’m not who I’m meant to be
I’m drifting farther away from my destiny

Awaken my heart, awaken my soul
Awaken Your power and take control
Awaken the passion to live for You, Lord
Awaken me

My soul is longing, my heart is searching
I’m desperate for You to move
Give me a hunger, pull me closer
I’m crying out to You

Awaken my heart, awaken my soul
Awaken Your power and take control
Awaken the passion to live for You, Lord

Open my eyes so I can see Your presence dwelling inside
Wake me up, cause I can't live another minute
If I’m not shining Your light

Awaken my heart, awaken my soul
Awaken the passion in me
Lord, awaken me to live my destiny
Lord, awaken me and shine Your light through me
Lord, awaken me to live my destiny
Lord, awaken me and shine Your light through me

I love Natalie Grant! You should really get her CD if you like that song.
