Lord, this road You have me on is not an easy one to tread.
God, I don't know what I'm doing. I need You now more than ever.
I feel so alone and scared God. I'm weighed down with fear and anxiety.
I need You now, Lord Jesus, more than ever, how I need thee.
I'm not alone, why can't I see? You are ever with me!
I'm not alone, why don't I feel? Your loving arms are all around me.
I'm not alone, why don't I know? Surely You never left me here alone.
I'm not alone, why don't I hear? You gently whisper in my ear.
Dear Jesus, this road is long and hard, I need You more than ever.
I need You more than I can express, I need You desperately.
I need You leading me, guiding me, and comforting me.
I need You, Jesus, help me to see, that You, my King, are all I need.

"Following God's Leading"
Your Word says that those who wait on You shall renew their strength.
Your Word says that when I am weak, You will be strong for me.
Your Word says to trust You in all that I do and don't look to myself.
And so I am waiting for Your timing God, for You know what's best.
I am waiting for You because You have the plan and the roadmap.
You're the perfect guide.
When I feel lost, I will take Your hand. You're always at my side.
Lord, help me when I'm weak and questioning Your guidance.
Help me to see where You want for me to be.
Open the doors You want me to go through and close tightly those You don't.
I'm praying for Your leading and my maturity! Lord help me every step!
Because, God, sometimes I'm afraid because I'm not trusting You.
And sometimes I feel alone, because I'm not spending time with You.
And I feel like I'm too small, too incapable,
because I'm not acknowledging your power like I should.
I need You, Daddy, more than ever before!
I'm praying for You to let me know the timing You have in store.
When my plans and Your plans don't turn out the same,
I pray I'll go with Yours, and trust in You again.
I love you Lord.

"Leaving for Uruguay"
As I board the plane and say goodbye, hello is coming soon.
I know that this is not just an adventure, but the beginning of something new.
As I look back on my life so far, it's like God had all of this planned.
He knows what He's doing and so I will follow His guiding right hand.
His ways are not my ways, His ways are far above me.
I'm not afraid for He's my strength, He reminds me that He loves me.
I'm not afraid because I know that God has a plan in all of this.
He has a reason for preparing me and ultimately He has a purpose.
I can tell you what I think I'll do, I can tell you what I've planned.
But ultimately it's all up to Him and this whole trip is in His hands.
I know I'm saying goodbye for a while, but I feel like I'm going home.
I can't explain it, and I don't think you'll understand, but in my heart I know.
This is the best decision I've ever made, but I feel like God made it for me.
So as I step off the plane again, I look forward to what lies before me.

"His Love Means Everything"
Who can know love? Who can understand it?
Who can tame it? And who can claim it?
Love is a confusing thing.
Are you sure you really know what it is?
Is it only a want to be near someone?
Or is it more?
Could it be that we don’t really know?
Maybe it’s some lost art form?
Could it be as simple as a feeling or a thought?
Could it be more? Could it be less?
Could it be nothing? Or could it be everything?
Is love found in a kiss? Or maybe in a promise?
Is it found in your love notes? Or maybe in your whispers?
Is love found in secret? Or is it something different entirely?
I don’t know I’ll ever know your kind of love. I don’t think it’s for me.
You see, I’ve had a taste of a different flavor, and I can’t be cured!
I’m hooked, no turning back, no way out, it’s all there is for me!
My God loved me more than you can whisper, kiss, or promise,
My God bled and died, to buy me eternal life!
My God whispered His love, when He said,
“Father forgive them, for they know not what they do.”
He loved me more than anyone else could ever get close.
He loved me more than, you or I will ever know!
My God took me in and cleaned me up,
My life was a wreck, and He saved me!
I didn’t earn His love. I couldn’t win a beauty contest for it.
I couldn’t earn it with the right look or the right walk.
He earned my affections on the cross.
Now I’m lost in His love. Eternally I am His.
Your love means nothing to me,
His love means EVERYTHING.

"My Amazing God"
God, you hear me when I pray. You count my tears. You’re close to the brokenhearted.
You are a father to the father-less. You are the strength for the weak.
You are from everlasting to everlasting, You are my God!
You’re Jehovah Jireh, my provider. You dined with sinners and healed the sick.
You showed compassion on the crowds, you fed the five-thousand.
You cared for the woman at the well, you save sinners from the gates of hell.
You died and paid the price, to cover all my sin. You’re amazing, you’re wonderful.
You’re all I need, you’re all I want, you’re more that I can understand.
I am nothing, but you love me still. You made me in your image.
But you remember that I was dust. My days are like the grass, short and sweet my life will be.
You have planned and put in place all of eternity.
You are a mighty king, and a loving father, a mighty God, and a humble servant.
Who can understand you? Yet you know every fiber of my being.
You made my every part, you’ve numbered the hairs on my head.
It shouldn’t matter to you, but it does! God, you are indescribable!
You have loved the sinner and the saint, the Jew and Greek, slave and free,
You have made a way for all mankind to have eternal life through you!
How can this be? But I know that it’s true! How do I know?
Because I know you! I love you God! But you love me a billion times more.
I can’t comprehend what you have in store.
All I know, God, is that you are good.
That’s all I know, and all I should.

"Don't Wait"
He has loved you with an everlasting love; He has paid the highest price,
But still you turn away to your pleasures, your disobedience, rebellion, and lusts.
Don’t wait until it’s too late.
You hate and kill when you could have all that you need and more.
But you want gratified instantly, you can’t wait for what’s in store.
Don’t wait until it is too late!
You’ve scorned your Maker and disgraced Him to His face,
You’ve spat upon the One who offered you amazing grace.
Don’t wait! I beg of you, don’t wait!
Don’t wait ‘til it’s too late!
Today could be your day! Don’t wait ‘til it’s too late!
God is not mocked, beware your fate!
Life is short, but eternity is forever. When Christ came, He died
So that you could be born again, die to the flesh, and born to new life.
Can’t you hear me? I’m calling in the streets! The hour is soon!
Can’t you hear him? God is speaking to your heart today!
Won’t you repent and pray? …before it’s too late?

"Is it Worth It?"
Is it worth it to wait for the right guy?
Is it worth it to wait for the right time?
Are there still things that I need to learn?
Could it be that I'm not ready yet?
Surely God is still preparing me!
Surely there is much yet to do!
Surely God knows the plan...
but then again, is there a man?
Maybe I'll be alone, is there anything wrong with that?
God is faithful to protect me,
God is faithful to provide...
I must be faithful to follow.
Maybe I need to stop thinking a man would improve things.
Maybe I'm better off thisway!
Maybe I won't be alone.
But maybe I won't have a family this way.
But maybe, then, that that's okay.
Why should I ever ask what if?
When I follow God's plan, it will all turn out okay!
What if I'll be a mother someday!
So much more to learn, so much more to grow!
God knows, better than I, He knows.
Your ways are higher than mine, O Lord,
I may never understand!
But God my future is in your hands!
It's worth it to wait on your plan.
So I will continue to serve you,
as I continue to wait,
your timing is perfect Lord,
I know that it's never too late.

"What does the Future Hold?"
I'd like to ask a question, if I might be so bold...
What in the world does the future hold?
But then again, I take it back! Surprize me God,
somehow I know I couldn't handle it right now!
