“I can’t go with you and stay where I am…”

These lyrics from an amazing song have rolled in thoughts much this week. Jill Paquette sang it at church on Sunday. The words came and went quickly. They dropped me to my seat so I could scribble them down before the memory was lost. If you know the song this came from PLEASE let me know. This is now the only line I can remember.

Isn’t it true?

We just can’t go with Him and stay right where we are. Sometimes figuratively and sometimes in reality.

In two days I will journey with Him to Haiti. I will journey with Him to the place he desires me to see. I will serve the sweet faces He brings before me. I will know Him more. I will love Him more.

I cannot wait.

I will be arriving at the airport at 4 AM on Thursday Morning. Seriously. Throughout the day I will meet up with some amazing people who I am fortunate enough to travel with. My fellow Haiti team is Aaron and Jamie Ivey, Matt and Lauren Pappa, Jason and Sara Hyatt, Marcus and Chrystal Gafford, Amy Gayhart, Ginger Swan, and Kim Rhodes. I am excited to meet each and every person. While there we will be serving the Livesay family as well as Lori, Licia and the Rescue Center.

Anyway, I want to know if this phrase brings up emotion in you. What does it say to you? Do you think it is a true statement? Why?
