Theme Song for the Summer

My mom bought the Carrie Underwood CD the other week and I got to put it on my computer! I love it and there is one song that just describes how I feel right now. It is called Get Out Of This Town:

Got it all figured out inside of my head
There's a bag packed up at the foot of my bed
You say the word, baby I'm all set
We'll cover our tracks, tell a couple white lies
Make sure we got a good alibi
And by the time they catch on, we'll be outta their sight
Long gone, baby

Let's get out of this town tonight
Nothing but dust in the shadows
Gone by morning light
Somewhere we won't ever get caught, ever be found
Baby, let's just get out of this town

Don't need directions, don't need a map
If we get lost I'll be good with that
Yeah we'll find a way to make the time pass
Window rolled down with the heat on high
Stars all aligned in a runaway sky
Holding my hand as the miles roll by
Long gone, baby

Let's get out of this town tonight
Nothing but dust in the shadows
Gone by morning light
Somewhere we won't ever get caught, ever be found
Baby, let's just get out of this town

If we leave tonight and drive fast enough
All of our troubles will be just like us
Long gone, baby

Let's get out of this town tonight
Nothing but dust in the shadows
Gone by morning light
Somewhere we won't ever get caught, ever be found
Yeah, let's just get out of this town
Let's get out of this town tonight
Yeah, we won't ever get caught, ever be found
Baby, let's just get out of this town


I love Greenville but its summer time and I want to be home or going somewhere. It's not fun at all being where no one else is going to summer school and working all the time. I want to do fun summer things like take spontaneous road trips or go to the beach, or simply go home to be with my family. I think God is teaching me a lot by being here. It is sometimes lonely and God calls me to Him every single day. He is showing me that I need to stop relying on other people to make me feel content. I need Him!!

and that's a HUGE lesson we all need to learn! Because it's really hard during the school year and when you live with other people to be content only with God. that's awesome.

Oh girl... I know. Last summer there were all of 3 people here. This summer at least we upped the numbers a little. But escape whenever possible. (I'll go with you) Its refreshing and we all need that at times.
