My next book will be titled...

"How to be loved" A life novel, by William Rush.

Today I've felt so loved! It's my birthday - and I'm 25 - and with that comes the age-old (literally) package of feeling sorrowful/lonely (i know i know - 25 isn't old - but it feels like it!)

Nevertheless, today I felt loved.

I received a book with sincere notes from family and friends, and I had a great party with my Russian friends - all of whom put so much time into making it special for me.

Never have I felt this much loved on a single day in my life!

Here is a song that two girls here (Roxy and Lida) sang for me - can't you just feel the love radiating out of the words!?!?!!!!!!

Thank God for his love and grace - and how He uses His children to encourage and love one another well :)

Enjoy!




Here are the words to the song - so you can follow along:

People need changes in life
And the knowing of what they should cut
Their sins kill them like a knife
When their hearts are not opened for God
Will came to Russia for us
To help kids to open their eyes
To show, to explain, to discuss
That God is amazing and wise

Chorus:
We wanted to thank you again
We thank you for caring for us
Because you are here we began
To focus our lives on Jesus
You helped us to understand
How important is God and His Son
That they help us to not fall and stand
And never give up till we're done
Till we are done

(Chorus)

We hope you enjoyed the year here
Unforgettable moments we'll keep
Will have image of us somewhere near
And the memories will be inside deep
You'll always be in our hearts
We'll remember your jokes and your smile
Your riddles and games - games with the cards
We will miss you unstoppable while

(Chorus)

You taught us a lot of new things
We had an amazing passtime
Your guitar didn't have enough strings
Though you still made us laugh every time
We wish you the best of the best
To be strong, to be faithful with the Lord
To take Him not as a test
But to know His huge grace for the world

Thank you Will
Thank you dude
We love you
