Solomon is my Hero
So I've been traveling a lot this week with AIM. We started out from Lubbock and went to Springfield, Missouri, stayed the night there at United Way Church of Christ. Then went to St. Louis and saw the Gateway to the west, which I will have pictures of when I get back. Then after that we traveled to Paducah, Kentucky and stayed there for a couple of days. The rest of the AIMers and myself hung out/worked with the youth group at Lone Oak Church of Christ which is in Paducah and I met some awesome guys and gals from the youth group there and in the rest of the church. A guy named Darren especially made an impression on me because it was the first time he had ever heard about AIM when we came and thus because of us he now wants to go to AIM in 2007, which will be when my sister goes and also when I will be getting off the field and graduating. Well after we left Paducah we traveled to Mt. Carmel, Illinois and stayed the night there. Fellow AIMers Carl, Chris and myself got to spend the night on a Cow farm, which was quite an interesting experience. Now we have made our way to Harding to participate in the World Missions Workshop, which has been great thus far. Already I have met a lot of new friends and have seen some old friends that I haven't seen in quite some time like Kara, who I have known since I was a baby, and Donny and Morgan, from Metro. Man do I miss all you guys and gals from Metro and I can't wait till I come back for Christmas. I also miss my family of course and you know it is a little hard been away from home and not being able to talk to any of you because I am so busy but you know the Lord asks us to make sacrifices sometimes and persevere through things and that's what I'm doing.
But althought it is sometimes tought not being with all of you remember that you all are always in my thoughts and prayers and I hope that I am also in yours. I know that as the Lord wills I am going to see you all again and so I try to continue in each day remember this saying, a new day brings new adventures. That quote is how I went to live my life and that is just another reason why I love being here in AIM. Funny thing though is that the quote is from the ending credits of a video game, and if you can tell me which one I'll give you a special prize. haha.
So now I leave you with this piece of poetry that I wrote while I was in one of the classes we had during our time in Paducah in which I became a little bored I started reading Song of Solomon and afterwards wrote this:
My lady,
So fair and lovely,
Your lips,
Are like sweet ripe fruit,
Soft and gentle,
Yet full of life and beauty
Your skin,
Is like sand on a summer beach,
Yet soft as fresh pure snow,
Your eyes,
Are like the ocean,
Crystal blue,
Calm and inviting,
Deep and majestic,
I love all that you are,
My lady.
