Why I'm Here..

Lately I've been thinking a lot of why I'm here. Why am I out in the middle of the Dominican Republic for a whole semester of my college career anyways? This song that I found on my ipod sums it up to a tee.... (I wish I knew the artist or title but I don't!)

"I'm here to meet with you
Come and meet with me
I'm here to find you
Reveal yourself to me

As I wait, you make me strong
As I long, you draw me to your arms
As I stand, and sing your praise
You come and fill this place"

I'm here to find God. Well, I've found God....But there's something about finding him away from what you know. I want to find him for who he is to ME- not who he is because of what people have told me he is. It was interesting to come down here and realized that God wasn't going to be spoonfed to me. There was no chapel, no spiritual emphasis week, no Wed night church...even church on Sunday was in a different language! But it's been so good to seek God on my own....and that's why I'm here!!

Hey Alison, it's exciting to hear about what all you are doing and what God is teaching you. The song you are talking about is called "Meet With Me" by Ten Shekel Skirt. It is song number 1 on their album "Much." Keep up the good work, and keep loving Jesus.
