Today is the first day
Of the rest of my life
Today I will pray
That the day hold no strife.
I ask that God bless me
With the knowledge I seek
I ask him to show me
My life's not too bleak.
So I am hoping and dreaming
That he hears my prayers
And my eyes are gleaming
For I know that he cares.
Right there in my prayers,
In my heart and my head
I know that he's watching
And by him I am led.
So I wait for him to show me
I wait for the light
I wait to see where I should be
On this dark cold night.
Tonite comes and goes
And tomorrow is here
And I wake up and wonder
If God is still near.
I wonder if he heard my silent plea
To help me to understand
What will happen to me.
The question remains in my
Heart and my Head
I think about it everynight
As I lay in my bed.

As the first rays of sunlight inched their way across the room, she slowly began to awaken, stretching her long legs and arms out across the length and width of the bed. As her conscious mind began to remember what day it was, Destini climbed out of bed and headed downstairs to the kitchen. Knowing this was going to be a long morning of talking over coffee with friends and making the final preparations for her trip, she quickly hit the button on the Mr. Coffee and took in a deep breath so that she could enjoy the aroma of the coffee as it began to fill the room. After pouring herself a steaming cup, she walked over to the desk where her friends would be waiting for her. She bent down and clicked the button that would take her where she wanted to be.
