Woo hoo!!!

Today is the day of all days! Lol..ok maybe not, but I have reason to celebrate! Haha. I just got done taking my oral final for my Spanish class and I aced that biz! Lol. I'm just really glad because I was really nervous for it because I thought I'd probably forget everything since we just had to sit in front of the teacher one on one and basically just talk to her in spanish baha. But, it went well, so YAY!

Wanna know what else makes this a fantastic day?! With the completion of that final, this means that I only have 3 finals left til my summer begins! ANNNNNNNND I got a great email from Ryan saying that the missionaries in Mexico can finally get out and work again! Haha ok one more piece of good news, he's had problems with his ears for the past few months of his mission, he had to go to 2 or 3 doctors and this third one finally figured out that all his stupid months of pain were caused by one of his crowns weren't allowing him to bite down all the way or something, so that was resulting in tension in his jaw and pain in his ears. How weird is that? Lol, but anyway, my good news is that he says ever since going and seeing that final doctor (which was about 2+ weeks ago) he has no more pain!!!! I was so worried, but, now everything is ok and I can relax =D.

Ok, aside from my happy news lol. Here are the lyrics to a song that even though I've listened to it a million times before, made me start crying when I was on the metro going to school today. I've realized that THIS is how I want to be. I want to see people and things the way the Lord does...

"Give Me Your Eyes" - Brandon Heath

Looked down from a broken sky
Traced out from the city lights
My world from a mile high
The best seat in the house tonight
Touched down on the cold black top
Hold on for the sudden stop
Breathe in the familiar shock
Of confusion and chaos
All those people going somewhere,
Why have I never cared?

(chorus)
Give me your eyes for just one second
Give me your eyes so I can see
Everything that I keep missing
Give me your love for humanity
Give me your arms for the broken hearted
Ones that are far beyond my reach
Give me your heart for the ones forgotten
Give me your eyes so I can see.

Step out on a busy street
See a girl and our eyes meet
Does her best to smile at me
To hide what's underneath
There's a man just to her right
Black suit and a bright red tie
To ashamed to tell his wife
He's out of work
He's buying time
All those people going somewhere,
Why have a I never cared?

(chorus)

I've been there a million times
A couple of million eyes
Just moving past me by
I swear I never thought that I was wrong
Well, I want a second glance
So give me a second chance
To see the way you see the people all along

(chorus x3)

[background]
Give me your eyes!
Lord, give me your eyes!
Everything I keep missing
Give me your arms
For the broken hearted!
Give me your arms,
Lord give me your eyes


Yeah, ah man. I just can't describe how that song makes me feel. Other than the fact that I want to be the best possible person I can be every single day of my life. I want to reach out and help people. I want to love everyone I meet, no judgment, no hate, nothing but pure and genuine love. I can't imagine what kind of world this would be if everyone would just try to be like Christ. It would be so wonderful! There would be no hate, no tears of pain and anguish that we cause people by our words and actions, just simple love, kindness, and understanding for our fellow man. Maybe one day our world can be like this?...Maybe.
I hope so.
