"Feels Like Home"

CHANTAL KREVIAZUK LYRICS

Somethin' in your eyes, makes me wanna lose myself

Makes me wanna lose myself, in your arms

There's somethin' in your voice, makes my heart beat fast

Hope this feeling lasts, the rest of my life

If you knew how lonely my life has been

And how long I've been so alone

And if you knew how I wanted someone to come along

And change my life the way you've done

It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me

It feels like I'm all the way back where I come from

It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me

It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong

A window breaks, down a long, dark street

And a siren wails in the night

But I'm alright, 'cause I have you here with me

And I can almost see, through the dark there is light

Well, if you knew how much this moment means to me

And how long I've waited for your touch

And if you knew how happy you are making me

I never thought that I'd love anyone so much

It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me

It feels like I'm all the way the back where I come from

It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me

It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong

It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong

( heard this song yesterday on a soundtrack...then again last night one of my friends told me it was one of his favorites...its a good one. Just wanted to share and I found it on myplaylist!)

And another experience I wanted to share. I should make another post of it, but just easier to keep typing. My best friend called me today and left me the nicest message. Met her the first sunday I moved to Ohio my freshman year of high school. We have been friends ever since. She and I lived together one semester in 2001. I moved to provo to be with her. No other reason. Just sounded fun and she wanted me there. Well, that semester a good friend of hers, someone I knew, but not as well as she had known him. This friend committed suicide. It was a really rough semester for her. She has told me a couple times since then that Heavenly Father was looking out for her and knew she would need a friend to help her get through that loss. I'm glad I was that friend for her. She called me today after having stopped by his grave. She reminded me how much it meant to her to that I was there that semester. I honestly can say that was a very uneventful semester for me. I don't think I did much for myself that semester so its nice to know I was able to be there for a friend. And even 7 yrs later its nice to get a random message saying thanks for being there for me. I love having friends that tell you when they are grateful. It's good to know that God puts us where he wants us, WHEN he wants us there. It is really true that Heavenly Father knows what we need and when we need it. I'm just feeling really blessed to have such wonderful people in my life right now.

Habitat for Humanity

These are just a few pictures from my phone of some of the service project I got to go to on Saturday with the YSA in Cincinnati and Dayton. We all had a pretty good time. We were working on two different houses for two different families but right next to each other.

We got to do some framing. It was pretty funny to see Holly just take charge and tell us all what to do. I love it when people dont mess around and just get right to work.
This is Reilly and James putting up the roof. I wasn't about to step foot on the roof. I'm sort of a chicken when it comes to heights. They must've had 20 people on the roof. It got done pretty quicklike. We worked from 9 in the morning until at least 4 in the afternoon. Some people stayed a little longer than that though.
They had given us all different color shirts to distinguish which crew we were on. Eh, I was a pink shirter....We didn't have a leader, so I just kept myself busy with random things.
This is a few of the house halfway through the day from the backside and you can see the second house right next to it that's not got nearly as much done with it. Overall it was a great day. They fed us 3 meals. We played a little corn hole then after we drove back to dayton we played some frisbee. Then went back to my friend katie's house and visited for awhile.

Old News...

Not sure I ever mentioned how much fun it was to go see TSO.
My sister in law Stacey took me to see them as a birthday present last year. I have always wanted to go see them and, ta da! finally! I got to go. Thanks Stacey!

Here are some pretty sweet pictures that came from my phone. What and awesome laser light/music performance.
I love that for one song they had everyone pull out their cell phones and open them up and wave them around. I guess lighters are out!
They strapped in the guitarists and then raised them up on this platform while they were jammin' out. It was a really long loud show....and worth every minute of it. :)

And of course, I didnt want to forget any of the little details so I took a picture of the ticket before it got hot being stashed in with all my memorabilia and then turned completely black. December 27th, 3:00 pm. It was in Columbus at the Nationwide arena. We used the GPS to get there. Those things make me laugh. We had to follow the traffic signs for construction downtown and it went crazy on us telling us to turn around. Thats when its time to turn the thing off. I have mixed feelings about ever really wanting one for myself.

"Best High I ever had in my Life" -Jared

Teen Challenge Graduation

Milford, Ohio

All the boys there sang 3 songs
Jared (me and my cheezzzy smile) Ty

4 guys were completing and got to share testimonies.

Two of them were my friends Jared and Ty who I met on my trip to mexico about a month ago. Amazing boys. (humidity & heat...blah killing me tonight)

It was a great night.
After I left the ranch I text Jared and told him how happy I was for him that he made it through the whole program. He said he was nervous to share his testimony with so many people. I know the feeling. Makes you feel like your heart is ready to explode. That is the best way I can explain it for myself. I like the way jared put it though, "Best high I ever had in my life!"

One of the guys shared a scripture that I really like too. Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Amen to it all...
