Hosanna!

I have recently started singing on the praise team at my church again. I haven't done that in years....in actually longer than I care to actually type - because that makes me older than I want to feel. ANYHOW, I started singing on the praise team...because they needed an alto, and hey Jessica, you can sing alto - please come join us...so here I am. I really didn't realize how much I had missed singing, even if it's not singing as much or the way I used to. We have one practice on Thursday evening, and then a quick over view on Sunday morning. Nothing major, and I'm sure the notes aren't exactly right, but it feels right. It feels good, and I love it. I love to see the congregation worship.
On Sunday we sang THIS song. It is an awesome song. I love the lyrics. I really feel a connection in my heart of hearts to what this song is saying.

Praise is rising, eyes are turning to You
We turn to You
Hope is stirring, hearts are yearning for You
We long for You
‘Cause when we see You, we find strength to face the day
In Your presence, all our fears are washed away
Washed away

Hosanna Hosanna
You are the God who saves us,
Worthy of all our praises
Hosanna Hosanna
Come have Your way among us
We welcome You here Lord Jesus

Hear the sound of hearts returning to You
We turn to You
In Your kingdom broken lives are renewed
You make us new
‘Cause when we see You, we find strength to face the day
In Your presence, all our fears are washed away
Washed away

Hosanna Hosanna
You are the God who saves us,
Worthy of all our praises
Hosanna Hosanna
Come have Your way among us
We welcome You here Lord Jesus

‘Cause when we see You, we find strength to face the day
In Your presence all our fears are washed away
‘Cause when we see You we find strength to face the day
In Your presence, all our fears are washed away
Washed away


Hosanna Hosanna
You are the God who saves us,
Worthy of all our praises
Hosanna Hosanna
Come have Your way among us
We welcome You here Lord Jesus

Hosanna Hosanna
You are the God who saves us
Worthy of all our praises
Hosanna Hosanna
Come have Your way among us
We welcome You here Lord Jesus
I love that and I love the feeling it evokes in me and I love that we have something to cleave to...because He left us something to cleave to.

‘Cause when we see You, we find strength to face the day
In Your presence, all our fears are washed away
Washed away

Big ideas

So I have a big idea. I haven't exactly nailed down all the details yet, and I have no idea how long it will take to come to fruition. I want to help people. I want to start a charity that will help people that can't get a leg up. I don't want to give them money, I don't want to feed the chaos, I want to help them get off the ground and show them how to walk on their own.
I don't quite understand why I feel like I need to do this - but I do. The idea came to me during my million dollar game adventure with Tim. For those who do not know what this is - well you just aren't imaginative enough :). Just kidding. It's just basically outlining what you would do if you suddenly came into a bunch of money. I like to play it. It feels like a release. I love the land of make believe - it's probably why I love to read. Anyhow, I had this idea and as soon as I have a concrete what I'm going to do and how etc I'll fill everyone in :).
I am excited about it. I have no idea how to do it. But I'm excited :)
