"Last night, I brought it all before you-again!I needed a heart check. I needed to know that my motives for wanting to stay were pure and pleasing to you. I couldn't count the amount of tears that were shed but you knew. Refusing to give into worry I held on to what you what promised me.
Woke up this morning to get ready for the day. Driving to Mercy overlooking the hills of West Yorkshire country side. And I knew you were there.
In a few seconds of stillness, I could hear their prayers-the girls of Mercy. Words of adornments to a King whose ears are pleased to listen. And I knew, you were there.
In the evening, tired and distraught, I went to help lead the youth ministry at church. I had more fun with the teenagers on this night than I have had in the past 4 months worth of Friday nights. Come 11:00pm, I didn't want the conversations to end with all the people my age sharing their hearts and passion for the church and God's love in their lives. And in another moment, I knew, you were there.
At the end of the day, I came home and thanked you. And I knew, this is why I'm here."
