1109 pm:
 Lord, Lord I praise You. I praise Your mighty works Lord! I praise You for the pain that led me back to You. I praise You for granting me boldness in following You here to this place, to this bed on which I prayed on. I praise you for my sisters, for my sisters that You allowed into my life and into my heart. Lord, to have beautiful friends who live in Your name is such an answer to prayer! Lord, You will answer the prayers of your people, the deep sincere prayer that we prayed tonight! Lord, for the first time in a long time I feel excited to see what the future holds. Tomorrow we will drive down from these Holy Mountains and my life will be in Your hands. On Sunday we will go home to Macon and my life will be solely in Your hands. I will return to my life; but it will never be the same because it is now in Your Mighty and Capable Hands! I praise You! I praise You for my sweet brothers and sisters in Christ; from leaders like Billie and Lee to "los lobos y lobita". Lord I praise You for them all. I praise You for knitting our lives together to meet upon these "green pastures" (Psalm 23) Lord I give my life, my marriage, my work, my body all to You. It is no longer in my hands Lord but in Yours. No one can love me as You can. No one can guide me as You can. You are my guide Lord. Lord I pray that I am continually reminded of Your work in me. I pray to forget the old Lord and only remember the new. Restore my soul, restore my family, restore my life entirely! Lord, I am in Your hands, let's see where You take me...

"Love will hold us together
Make us a shelter to weather the storm
And I'll be my brother's keeper
So the whole world will know that we're not alone...
This is the first day of the rest of your life
Cause even in the dark you can still see the light;
It's gonna be alright! It's gonna be alright!"
-Matt Maher, Hold Us Together

"This is where the healing begins
This is where the healing starts
You come to where you're broken within
The light meets the dark."
