I will start with a quick update on what has been going on lately and then leave you with something I wrote while I was in Kenya. Enjoy.
Update
- TOMS shoes postponed the trip to Argentina in FEB. due to lack of volunteers and funds. BUT I have been invited to go in March. It actually works out better as now I have more time to raise money and prepare for this awesome opportunity to serve.If you are still interested in giving I have had a great response. You can do so via paypal, money order cash or check! ( email me at robert.k.russell@gmail.com for more info )
- Playing music at Oak Leaf Church has been really great and God is really showing me what it means to serve without any thought of being compensated. In other words ”Doing unto the least of these” as Jesus would say.
- I am fasting from Facebook and Myspace AGAIN! This time though I have entrusted my log-in and password to a friend of mine so the temptation of becoming addicted and wasting time on the Internet should be dampened for the next year
- I am a vegetarian.
- School is tough. I don’t know anyone in my classes this semester so it’s a little tougher than last semester , BUT I am going to get this done!
- I updated my videos section page
- Taylor Swift is really good. You should buy her newest album.
Reflection from Africa
April 30th 2008
” Her Heart ”
- As you make my heart right ( God ) I rind myself finally feeling the love you promise. You soften my heart and it hurts. My past self is screaming to hold onto everything it knows. You know that things are going to improve for me, I am learning the proper methodology.
With that being said:
I want to fight for her heart. I want to lead her closer to you. To be one with her on a spiritual level. That she may be my companion, we can fight together, for your heart, oh God. Her beauty is reflective of your light. Her face shines with the very sun that you saw was ”good” Her hair is soft like flowers in bloom. The smile she exposes upon the world could lift a sunken ship from the depths; not unlike the spirit of my heart. Her heart beats in rhythm with you; a quality often sound but rarely found. When she is away I am like a guitar with no strings, a piano with no keys, or even the color blue without green. Teach me Lord to love her the right way. Give me the chance but let me wait. For I will fight to prove it is true. If my heart should every turn sour, protect her. For i can not stand the thought of doing more wrong. I can no longer dance to that tune. Be thou my vision Lord. teach me the art of being in love. The more I embrace you the more I feel the reality of good it feels to pour my heart into a companion. Brothers and sister alike, Lord God you lead me in it all.
