summer
i just want to remember it all- the best summer of my life.
cookouts and pool parties, birthdays and reunions. dancing and dancing and dancing- in mexico, in rio and in the rain. and letting it rain even when it's the hardest thing in the world- faz chover. taking pictures that i'll never tire of looking at. crying with people i love. holding ana claudia until i thought my heart would break. speaking spanish. learning to let go. being scared to death and worried sick. finding a new Family in my friends. seeing world trade center, talladega nights, nacho libre, v for vendetta and so many more. finding a place and a peace. "keep climbing, the harness is strong". writing again. pi lamda kappa, beta lamda kappa. walking through a favella. being quiet. remembering things i'd tried to forget. painting is a gift. singing in church in Rio. "lean on me, when you're not strong". saying goodbye to little daniel, seeing his hand in that window. laying back in my kayak, alone in the middle of a virginia lake. waking up to music. bom dia coffee. reading "the irresistible revolution". walking along a Padre Island beach at midnight with my best friends. catching a taxi in the rain in buzios. talking about ideas too big for our own heads late into the night. facing my parents. mid-week worship. playing baseball on saturday mornings. the face of the fifth carving in the modern cathedral in Rio. seeing how things will work out. walks to the store in Mexico. taking cold showers. coaching swim team- "i'll be right beside, all you have to do is grab my arm". totally g-checked it. singing in the van on the way home from church Sunday night in Rio. accepting college. feeling alive again. climbing the ladder. pulling myself out and finding that the hole wasn't so deep. "Let us go unto Dothen". not having a clue how to help. dinners at panera, ice cream at marble slab, loading up at plate-by-weight and returning to whataburger. jumping out of a boat on the coast of Brazil. throwing my shoes. getting letters that will change my life. seeking something small and finding so much.
"These are the moments, I know heaven must exist.
These are the moments, I know all I need is this.
I've found all I've waited for, and I could not ask for more."
"The Voice of Truth says this for my glory"
"My wish for you is that this life becomes all that you want it to"
"I cast all my cares upon You,
I lay all of my burdens down at Your feet.
And any time that I dont know what to do,
I will cast all my cares upon You."
"Faz chover, abre as comportas do ceu, faz chover"
