Brandon left this morning for 2 weeks. He is going to spend the first week at Fort Dix being a leader and instructor for younger Civil Air Patrol cadets, and then he is going to spend a week at Ranger school. We have been preparing for this time for months. The past couple days of helping Brandon to pack have been so busy that I really haven't had time to stop and think that my baby isn't going to be home until July 16th. This will be the first 4th of July that I spend without Brandon since he has been born. This morning I said to Brandon as he was getting ready to go, "what am I going to do without you for 2 weeks?" He replied, through teary eyes, that he was praying the weeks would go by quickly and that he didn't know what he was going to do without his family for 2 weeks. That did it....we both just cried. Brandon has a new favorite song and it will be playing on my blog until he comes home. The words to the song are great so I put them at the bottom of this post. I am going to miss him so much.
Take me into the beautiful, won't You take me back again
With a love unexplainable, come fill up this dry land
Let it open our eyes to see a world we've never seen
Let it open our hearts up to see You inside of us
You're here inside of me
Take me into the beautiful where the rivers flow
Where the love that never ends
Oh I wanna go to the beautiful - lalalalalalala
Take me into the beautiful where the faces glow
Where the lights that never dim
Oh I wanna go to the beautiful
Come on and take me again
Take me into the mystery, gently lift me with Your grace
Make the chaos a chorus, with Yourself come fill this place
Cover me with Your mercy, come and cover me with love
Cover me so that all might see that it's You not me
It is You that I am singing of
Take me into the beautiful where the rivers flow
Where the love that never ends
Oh I wanna go to the beautiful - lalalalalalala
Take me into the beautiful where the faces glow
Where the lights that never dim
Oh I wanna go to the beautiful
Come on and take me again
A love that's brighter than diamonds when I'm with You
A love that always invites us to be with You
Your love is brighter than diamonds now that I'm with You
Take me into the beautiful where the rivers flow
Where the love that never ends
Oh I wanna go to the beautiful - lalalalalalala
Take me into the beautiful where the faces glow
Where the lights that never dim
Oh I wanna go to the beautiful
