Two Songs of the Day that express how I feel right now...

Alone
by LADS
I am alone in the darkness
Can You hear me now
Are You the same
Or are You different somehow
Can You reach me
Can I be sure that You won't hurt me
If I let You in
Are You the same
Or are You different somehow
Can I trust You
-
If I gave You my heart
If I gave You my soul
Would You take me apart
Would You make me whole
-
Do You know my name
When the tears fall are You there to feel the pain
Can You reach me here
Can you give me what I'm looking for
Can You take away the fear
Can I trust You
-
They say that You could come and meet me
Are You really there
Are You the same or are You different somehow
Can You love me
-
If I gave You my heart
If I gave You my soul
Would You take me apart
Would You make me whole
-
Do You know my name
When the tears fall are You there to feel the pain
Can You reach me here
Can You give me what I'm looking for
Can You take away the fear
Can I trust You

Coming Home
by LADS
There was a day when I could say
That I'll be alright
But I'm not alright today
There was a time when I could find
You right by my side
But You're not here beside me now
-
And I don't know how
I walked out that door
To the stone cold world
Left You waiting for me to come home
-
There was a day when I could say
That it doesn't matter
But it matters now
There was a time when I could find
A million excuses
But there's nothing for me to say
-
Except I'm away
Away from the voice that's been calling me
And I know that it's time to come home
-
I'm coming home
Home to Your open arms
Home, forgive me I've gone too far
I'm coming home
I've tried but I just can't live
Without You any more
-
I thought that I could live my life
Much better without You
So I turned away
And it seems I chased the dreams
I thought that I wanted
Without You around
-
But it's all fallen down
I'm left with the sound of my emptiness
Now I'm scared to give all of my life away
Still I come, I'm undone in this broken state
And I yearn for Your love that I don't deserve
Now it's time for Your child to come home
-
I'm coming home
Home to Your open arms
Home, forgive me I've gone too far
I'm coming home
I've tried but I just can't live
Without You any more

Finals are coming up soon, one week of classes left. That means that Summer Project is that much closer. I'm beginning to get more excited about it but I know I can't let myself really think about it until I am finished with school. I got all my support in, which is such a blessing from God!! But in all of this great stuff thats going on around me and happening, I really don't feel all that happy. I'm not joyful right now. I really feel like all this college stuff is rather pointless in the grand scheme of things. Why can't I get on with living my life right now instead of having to wait two more years before I can travel the world and go into the mission field full time. I guess I'm just having a lot of doubts right now about what I'm supposed to be doing right now. I'm starting to doubt my major and the school I chose. I'm wondering if it's too late to change anything or if it's all pointless now. I'm unsure of whether my doubts are even founded or if it's just me going thru a phase again. I guess I'm just disatisfied with alot of things right now and one of those things is myself and my walk with God.
It will all be over soon, whether I survive it in one piece or not. And then I'll have an awesome summer and God will refresh me, because I'm tired of where I'm at right now, and I don't want to stay here. It's just a little hard to see my way out at times.
God please hold my hand for a little bit longer... lift me up out of the mess I'm in... of the mess I've made of my heart and my soul... piece me back together again to serve your purposes and your Glory!!
