Short post but have been wanting to write about this since last night!

Last night I was over at the Touch a Life house and Pam Cope and her group was over there. Some of the people brought their guitars and what not and they had a mini concert. The kids were singing...screaming...along with the music. It was awesome.

**Now remember, all the kids in Touch a Life house have been rescued from Lake Volta**

Okay so one of the house parents brought out two big african drums and set them down in front of some of the kids and they just went to town on them. It was amazing. 10 others got in front of them and did this tribal dance. After that was over they did this dance and I had Hagar explain to me what they were doing. It was all about being out on the lake and mending the nets in the boat and selling the fish when they were done. I just kept thinking how some of these kids, not even a year ago, where doing exactly what they were acting out and now they are here singing and dancing and loving life.

But my all time favorite part of the night was a song they sang. Hagar is going to sing it to me tonight so i can write down the words but it goes along the lines of this::

We will never have to be on the Lake again

Now we are going to express our rights and be free

God bless mama pam

and thats all i can remember but i about cried. It was the SWEETEST thing i've ever heard, ecspecially coming from the kids it was coming from. Later tonight or tomorrow ill post the real words for the song!

&& im super excited, Im going to try and teach Hagar how to ride a bike this next week! haha should be really fun. Okay well the school day has begun and i am off to my football field!

With God ANYTHING is possible.
