I'm so small. Just a little heart in this big, big world. I'm still a little girl. Why do I have to have such big worries?? Why don't things stop when I'm sad? I guess, that's what keeps us all from sulking too much. But, my world moves fast, too fast. A blur of color without much shape or definition. When did we grow up, guys? How come we're suddenly adults? With adult responsibilities, with adult worries, with adult sadness?

Chin up, silly girl! She's resting in God's arms now. She's radiant, beautiful, full of life as she sits at the feet of her Creator. But my chin falls towards my chest. The tears start to bead along the corners of my eyes. There's no stopping them.

There's no stopping the world around me. Meetings at work, deadlines, ministry responsibilities, the pressures weigh in heavily. It's just too much. Can't I just be sad for a moment or two? Can't I?

great light of the world
Bebo Norman

Sometimes at night
When I am afraid
I cover my eyes
And I cover my shame
So here in the dark
Broken apart
Come with your light
And fill up my heart

Oh great light of the world
Fill up my soul
I'm half a man here
So come and make me whole
Oh great light of the World
Come to impart
The light of your grace to fill up my heart.

The wind of this world
Can push us around
Folding us up
Backing us down
Here in the dark
I'm not alone
So come with your strength
And carry me home.

We miss you. Lisa Too went Home on December 9, 2002.
