"Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like you have loved me
Break my heart from what breaks yours
Everything I am for your kingdoms cause
As I go from nothing to
Eternity"
(Hosanna - Hillsong)

Finding Joy
As I have told myself over and over, I need to find Joy. A quote from Donald Miller I couldn't have said better myself:
"I know now, from experience, that the path to joy winds through this dark valley. I think every well-adjusted human being has dealt squarely with his or her own depravity. I realize this sounds very Christian, very fundamentalist and brow beating, but I want to tell you this part of what the Chirstians are saying is true. I think Jesus feels strongly about communicating the idea of brokenness, and I think it is worth reflection. Nothing is going to change in the congo until you and I figure out what is wrong with the person in the mirror."
