"Song Of The Week For You To Seek"
This weeks most played song has been "Something In The Water" by
Brooke Fraser. Melissa introduced this artist to me probably about a
year ago. I just love her up-beat tempo and use of simple sounds of the
acoustic guitar, pounding drum beat, and not to mention her
rejuvinating yet calming voice. This song reminds me so much of driving
in the car with Melissa. Whether we are make one of our many drives
across Las Vegas (because we are way out by ourselves in the NorthEast part of the city), or taking a road trip to California,
we are usually jamming to this song quite often! I love the chorus of
the song, "I'm crazy over you, there's something in the water that makes
me love you like I do" Recently Melissa and I have had to make a major
decision in our lives, and the way we came to the conclusion together
makes me love her even more now than days before. Its not so much the
outcome of the decision that
makes me crazy over her, but the way we talked through our options,
prayed, and at the end-finally opened up to what we wanted together in
our lives. For us, the something in the water is Christ, and the way He
makes us love each other like we do. 1 John 4:11-12 says "Beloved, if
God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever
seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is
perfected in us." I feel God working in both our hearts, He is working
on making His love better in our hearts. I pray Jesus continues to work
in our hearts and your heart!
The comical double meaning to this song is that there REALLY is something in the water out here in Kuwait.
Recently I went to our laundry facility with a buddy here at camp to
do, well our, laundry. We were surprised to see how brown the water was
as it filled up the washing machine. At first we thought it was a
light brown tent to the water, but then we looked at the bottom of the
machine to see it being filled up with orange water! Either some real
rusty pipes or just something in the water. Good thing we had soap to
go with the wash water. This little experience I shared with my wingman
reassured me why we should use bottled water when we brush our
teeth...but now the shower has me a bit nervous. I don't want to come
out looking orange!!
Enjoy the song, it's what I have enjoyed all week.
