Just A Matter of Days

I love the simplicity of summer. It has just been a matter of days since the semester ended, but already I am in full summer mode. There is such a sweet freedom that comes from not having a set schedule or plan. I have time- time to catch up on things neglected, time to rest, time to go slow, time to play. So far I have cleaned house, seen movies, played sand AND indoor volleyball, worked out, been to two free concerts in the park, had friends visit, played my guitar, slept in... I feel spoiled!

I will be leaving for Romania very soon. A couple of days ago someone asked me when I leave. I said, "Next week. *insert Home Alone face and dramatic pause* I LEAVE NEXT WEEK!" It was a little shocking to me. I feel like I have so much to do. I have been fighting the urge for a couple of days now to pull out everything I am planning to take with me so I can start narrowing down. But I know it will end up all over my bed and room, and I will have to sleep somewhere else. Let's be honest, it's probably going to happen tomorrow. :)

In the midst of summer and preparations I am learning to play Love Never Fails on the guitar. (Thanks David!!) It is a song by Brandon Heath with beautiful words. I cannot wait to sing it to the sweet babies I will be meeting in just a matter of days.

Love Never Fails

by Brandon Heath

Love is not proud
Love does not boast
Love after all
Matters the most

Love does not run
Love does not hide
Love does not keep
Locked inside

Love is the river that flows through
Love never fails you

Love will sustain
Love will provide
Love will not cease
At the end of time

Love will protect
Love always hopes
Love still believes
When you don’t

Love is the arms that are holding you
Love never fails you

When my heart won’t make a sound
When I can’t turn back around
When the sky is falling down
Nothing is greater than this
Greater than this

Love is right here
Love is alive
Love is the way
The truth the life

Love is the river that flows through
Love is the arms that are holding you
Love is the place you will fly to
Love never fails you
