Eyes of Mercy

How interesting is today, huh? Our plan was changed about three times today. We 7-11 girls are too unorganized. No offense, you guys. We spent from o4pm to nearly 07pm trying to figure out where we were going to have our daily city invasion. In that time, I wanted to work on my song, "Eyes of Mercy" with Alice. Stacey, however, also started to help us with the melody. After 30 minutes or more, we got the first verse and we tried it with Stacey's piano. It was crazy because at first, Jennifer helped us with the music notes but then she gave up cause Stacey knew how to do it faster. I felt bad about that part because I wanted Jennifer to feel confident in expanding her knowledge of knowing how to play the piano and writing music notes for God. By the time we wanted to record the melody, we had to go eat. Every so often after that, we'd continue singing it and I felt a little frustrated because I kept forgetting the melody and I would always ask Stacey and Alice. I thought that was pretty disappointing. We finally chose a place to have our city invasion: Monrovia. We saw scientists there looking at Venus, Mars, and Jupiter. It was funny cause we thought that they were just looking at the moon. (Haha) Alice and I prayed for these two women sitting at an outside post of a restaurant and Stacey and Amy prayed for a little girl who was looking through a telescope. Astronomy is fascinating. Like that one lyric from this one song (I don't remember the actual lyrics but Stephanie was singing it loudly today in the car) "You made the stars and even know all their names" (Please don't yell at me if that's totally wrong). After praying for people, all of us went to the kiddie park within the park to just hang out. While everyone was being a little childish, running around the place, telling me to try this and that, I was just off in my own little world, trying to sing my song before I forget it. Jennifer was having her little emo moment, but that's alright. I realized today that I really care about Jennifer even if it doesn't seem like I do. I treat her as a sister, a distant sister, but a sister nonetheless. If I ever got a sister, either older or younger, I pictured her to be somewhat the same as Jennifer. I got to think a lot today and that's one of the things I was thinking about. Strange, but natural for me. Simple things turn into complicated things when I imagine them to be. Sometimes it's good and sometimes it's bad. So my song is on it's roll to becoming a new christian song for IMPACT HARVEST CHURCH. ---*whoosh! (:
