Never Let Go

Can you lay your life down so a stranger can live
Can you take what you need But take less than you give
Could you close every day without the glory and fame
Could you hold your head high when no one knows your name
That’s how legends are made
At least that’s what they say

We say goodbye but never let go
We live, we die cuz you can’t save every soul
Gotta take every chance to show that you’re the kind of man who
Never look back, never look down and never let go

Can you lose everything you ever had planned
Can you sit down again and play another hand
Could you risk everything for the chance to be in loan
Under pressure find the grace what you come undone
That’s how legends are made
At least that’s what they say

We say goodbye but never let go
We live, we die cuz you can't take every soul
Gotta take every chance to show that you’re the kind of man who
Never look back, never look down and never let go

This song wasn't written about missions, but that's what it makes me think of.
I kinda feel like my passion for missions and helping people is coming to life again. I mean, it's not like it ever left or I was questioning my future, but it was just kinda at a dead spot for a while. This week's kinda changed that... And I have a trip to the Rescue Mission coming up.. as well as a trip to Grace and the Dream Center and Mexicali (good morning, Cuernavaca!) and South Africa... I'm not bragging, or trying to make myself sound like I'm a super great person for doing all of this, cuz everyone has different dreams and finds joy in different things... I'm just really excited that it feels like my passion is being re-amped. OH AND WINTER CAMPS ABOUT MISSIONS THIS YEAR! I don't think anyone's excited about that except me... but oh well.

And... another update while I'm on this topic. I don't think I'm going to actually live in Africa for a really long time. I think like a year... and then take up a job like Mr. Westrup has, as well as taking several shorter trips to places and raising awareness... The way I look at it is, I can go to Africa and make a difference... or I can impact a whole bunch of other people to make a difference and therefore make an even bigger improvement in the world. Plus I feel like I have a lot of advice I can give to teenagers.

Just my thoughts...
Sorry that this post was slightly poorly written... I'm kinda half asleep.
