Hello up there, it's me down here!

Wednesday, October 15, 2003

The time is closing in. It's no longer a fuzzy image in the back of my mind. My Dear Friend is getting married and as she has it, I willl be standing with her, privaleged and blessed as her Maid of Honor. On Sunday, that very moment will mark one of my most memorable and precious moments. I will have the honor of witnessing, and being apart of, an event which marks a new error, a spiritual transformation, and the beginning of a new world of love and happiness for two of the most wonderful people.

My Sister-at-heart-Bride-to-be, has been so wonderful to me in the last four years that we have been friends (see song below, it kind of says it all, well not ALL, but alot). In my freshman year of college when I got randomly paired up with some girl from Orlando, I never would have imagined that she would've touch my life so deeply. She taught me alot of things, as we were roomates for (basically) four years. The first thing that stood out to me about her was that she truley cared about me and loved me. A perfect stranger!! What a great witness of Christ's love in her, and what a great friend! So As I said, let me say it again, on Sunday October 19th it will be my complete privilage and honor to stand up with her and before God to witness the marriage of Joyce Goulart and Aaron Pierce.

More Than You'll Ever Know by Watermark

Somethin' brought you to my mind today
I thought about the funny ways you make me laugh
And yet I feel like it's okay to cry with you
Somethin' about just being with you
When I leave I feel like I've been near God
And that's the way it ought to be

'Cause you been more than a friend to me
You fight off my enemies
'Cause you've spoken truth over my life
And you'll never know what it means to me
Just to know you've been on your knees for me
Oh, you have blessed my life
More than you'll ever know
More than you'll ever know

You had faith, when I had none
You prayed God would bring me a brand new song
When I didn't think I could find the strength to sing
And all the while I'm hoping that I'll
Do the kind of praying for you that you've done for me
And that's the way it ought to be

You've carried me
You've taken upon a burden that wasn't your own
And may the blessing return to you...
A hundredfold, oh yeah...
A hundredfold, oh yeah...
