Tonight I got to have coffee with one of our students and a friend I've made here in Tunisia. At a point while eating dinner I asked my friend "what is your biggest dream?" Him being an amazing musician he shared that he wants to write music not for himself, but for others to find the joy in the music itself. He doesn't want his talent to be about him. In the process of the conversation a door was opened to share about how God gave me music as an outlet when I was in a depressed state when I was younger. He then shared how he had a similar story, and that music was the same for him. There is obviously a lot more to this story, but he told me later that he shared a part of his life that he had never told anyone.
I know this is very brief, but please be praying for my friend. Every time we meet the conversation has been shifting to God more often. I can see how powerful of a tool he'd be for the Kingdom.
FYI, I have been learning a lot from him too. Every time we get together he is teaching me more arabic, but he also recently challenged me to write some lyrics because at some point I will go to a recording studio and possibly record a song before I leave. I have always had a hard time writing a song on the spot, knowing that I had to produce something that could be a good crossover song that can be sang by whoever and it have meaning, but for me it to be something so deep with the Lord. It was a task I had set before me, but I did succeed at the "assignment" haha... Here are the lyrics and the video:

You have ravished me ohhh
You came and destroyed my life as I know
You have broken the chains over me
No longer bonding me to the former destiny
you're the life changer, you're the deal breaker
you're the answer to my questioning
you're the history maker, not a record keeper
you're the romance to my longing….
You're my life, you're my love
You're everything I have ever dreamed of…
