Cutest little song I've been listening to last night and this afternoon. Enjoy! Look it up on itunes though, because it sounds better. It just sounds so cute and happy and makes my heart happy.

Screwtape Letters, by C.S. Lewis
Read this book!!
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=screwtape+letters
It has been bringing so much awareness of the schemes of the Enemy. I go so much by feel and black and white concepts. But Satan is smarter, and part of my weakness is not opening my eyes to know this.

BEAUTIFUL FIJI
Missing you, tropical, lovely nation. i miss your warm breezes, your blue and clear water, your friendly fisherman, and generous feeding! :)
i miss you beautiful Fiji. one Fijian name brought a rush of nostalgia tonight. Your culture- warm and friendly. your beautiful words, your names, your dirt roads so bumpy and free and red. your dancing and singing citizens wearing friendly smiles of welcome and acceptance.
perhaps one day i'll get to smell your sweet aromas of tropical flowers passing by on the ride of a draft grazing my nose, and the musty appeal of yellow curry and spice in your open air markets, talking to merchants for a bargain or smile, or the lovely zesty scent of cocunut soap in gift stores, while braving the humid warmth.
perhaps one day i'll be prepared for another long stay, becoming aqcuiested to your ways, perhaps to teach and sing and dance like Fijians, reading to and playing your free and happy children.
i hope for this.

"Just as sad as you..."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_profilepage&v=c9sm7rc4n5I
This song speaks to me. Sometimes I'm emotional. Okay, I've felt sad quite a bit for the past 2 or three months just trying to figure out what my purpose needs to be right now. I focus too much on myself I'm finding. There's more to life!
I'm learning that I cannot look at my circumstances or what it is I "do," and equate my value. I can't base my emotions off of what my circumstances look like. I'm responsible for choices in my behavior and attitudes. And I have a choice in how I'm going to look at the world.
I'm so challenged by this.
I'm challenged, too, because I affect people.
