wake up, wake up child
and see the day i have for you

everything's new
wake up, wake up child
i've been waiting for you to get out of bed
so we could take on the world
me and you, we can take on the world

i'm crazy dancing over you

and i just want you to know
i'm crazy singing my love
and i am so thrilled
thrilled to bits with you

get up, get up now
kick the darkness
kick it till the light bleeds through

i'm counting on you
we will see the light bleed through
i'm counting on you
*dan lyth "crazy dancing"


i'm back again! this time for good....well for good until december 23 when i leave for London. it's so good to be back at Borgenhome. i actually really enjoyed this last week in Tromso. it was nice to be in a city again. there were people! NORWEGIANS! hehe, we've only got one Norwegian on my dts....so, although i've been in Norway for 2.5 months, i haven't really experienced much of norway culture. it was good.
This week was probably one of my favorite weeks so far. i wasn't looking forward to it at all at the beginning of the week. i didn't really want to leave Borgen, i was afraid of being stretch, and i was tired. but i was so blessed and refreshed through this week. God is so good, so faithful! one jewel revelation i had is that God will never leave me. NEVER. i know it seems so elementary, but i had realized that my personal fear of being left by man (humans), was also a fear and lack of trust with God. but He won't leave me! never! He's not going to....you can't change my mind :)
ok, i need to get to sleep now. i love you homies

here are a couple of pictures from the week....

Roo said...

btw steph - i don't think they were NORWEGIANS that beat us to the first comment on the last post. just because they are in norway doesnt mean they're norwegians, ya know.
