On Saturday night, I got to sing in "big church". I was asked to sing "My Soul is in Your Hands", my favorite.
I have been singing this song for almost five years. I was given a CD of the background music to take with me on my second trip to Kenya. Since then, I have sang that song in orphanages, prisons, schools, hospitals, parks, churches, fields, playgrounds...all over. I've sang it with friends and by myself.
Dozens of my Kenya memories are attached to this song. I can't sing the words without remembering where I was, who was there with me, how God worked in those moments. You can read one of my favorites here.
As I sang this weekend, and looked around the worship center, I could see the faces of those who have been on various trips to Kenya with me. I know that a lot of their memories from the trips are attached to this song too (mostly because I sing this song everywhere we go for those two weeks. I would imagine most of them hope they don't have to hear the song for several months after we get home.)
It's all I can do to not break down and cry while I sing this...
