Where "From the Corners of the Earth" came from...

Finals week officially began this morning at 8am. With one final down and three more to go, I can not stop day dreaming about Botswana. Excited barely comes close to describing my anticipation for the trip. There are about 15 other people from Towson Cru (our nickname for Campus Crusade for Christ) that are going on summer project. The stateside projects include Colorado, Seattle, Hampton Beach(New Hampshire) and Ocean City(Maryland). Hampton Beach and Ocean City are both 10 week projects where those students get jobs for the summer. The international projects include Chile, Ecuador, Venezuela, Botswana (me), another undisclosed location in Africa, Kazakhstan, and East Asia.It's been really crazy to be apart of such a large group from our campus going out literally from coast to coast here in the US and around the world.

I knew about where everyone was going, but this whole concept of people from my campus reaching all over the globe didn't hit me until last week. A song came on my iTunes that illuminated this idea in my head. That song, "From the Corners of the Earth" by Starfield, is also where I got the title for this blog; I found it quite appropriate.

Here are some of excerpts of those lyrics that struck out to me:

From every nation God is calling out His own...

From the north to the south to the east to the west, we sing
To the one, to the one, to the one who is our King
One body, one church, one savior, one call to praise...

Hey! From the corners of the earth

We will sing of your great worth
And around the world proclaim
Our God Reigns

Here's a link to a YouTube link of that song if you want to check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sJo5LTwr-g.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Modimo o a go rata.
