This old song was stuck in my head tonight. The message seems to be the general theme for my friends today. I especially liked this version cuz it reminded me of the islands. That’s always a happy memory.

unnecessarily risking her life since 1988.. or whenever it was I started climbing that guava tree.

One of my favorites:
Lead me Lord
Lead me by the hand and make me face the rising sun
Comfort me through all the pain that life may bring
There’s no other hope that I can lean upon
Lead me Lord
Lead me all my life
Walk by me
Walk by me across the lonely road of everyday
Take my arms and let your hand show me the way
Show the way to live inside your love
Lead me Lord
All my life
CHORUS:
You are my life
You’re the lamp upon my feet
All the time, my Lord, I need you there
You are my life
I cannot live alone
Let me stay by your guiding love
All through my life
Lead me Lord
Lead me Lord
Even though at times I’d rather go along my way
Help me take the right direction
Take your road
Lead me Lord and never leave my side
All my days, all my life
… And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.

Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.” - Matthew 11:28 (NLT)
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens:
2 a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
6 a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
7 a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
8 a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.9 What do workers gain from their toil? 10 I have seen the burden God has laid on the human race. 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet[a] no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end. - Ecclesiastes 3:1-11
They say that the only constant is change. My life is definitely a testament to this with the many places I’ve lived and traveled, the many people that have come in and out, and the various paths that I have chosen to try to find a sense of fulfillment and happiness.

Alfa’s newest song… LOVE <3
I am too impatient to wait for a “professional” recording of this song to place it up here. :) This is a song I wrote about a month ago about my road trip, and love, and looking for home… it’s called “First Sight of Land.” I recorded it on GarageBand (holla!)
This one’s for Rob.
——————-
You are the first sight of land, when I am wayward at sea
You have my heart in your hands, I need you desperately.Over oceans and seas, navigate to every stream
Just to find my resting place
From the mountains to shore, but I don’t have to look far at all
‘cause you are my first sight of land.Our old stories keep me warm, on cold California nights
I slept shotgun in the car, you drove straight for miles and miles.Over oceans and seas, Palisades to Tennessee
Searching for my resting place
From the mountains to shore, but I don’t have to look far at all
‘cause you are my first sight of land.Now I know, you’re real to me
I’ll be waiting for you.
When you go, come back to me
I’ll be anchored at sea.
You must do the things you think you CANNOT do.
The soldier knows the battle with the heart is not easily won.
If Heaven and Hell decide that they both are satisfied. Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs. If there’s no one beside you when your soul embarks then I’ll follow you into the dark.
toying around with stumbleupon.com and ran into this :) i thought it was kinda cute.. well in a not so happy way. but nevertheless…
my new piece. ah, if i can sing it this perfectly!
“I’ll give you stars and the moon and the open highway
And a river beneath your feet
I’ll give you day full of dreams if you travel my way
And a summer you can’t repeat.
I’ll give you nights full of passion and days of adventure,
No strings, just warm summer rain.”
