Charlotte proved to be an exceptional Living Water member in that she took advantage of her home schooling situation and left us ahead of schedule! She graduated a year early and used the time afterward to embark on a short-term missions trip to Indonesia. Upon returning to the Bay Area, she told us that she’d stopped off in Hawaii to change flights, found it to be “only” 80 degrees, and froze (Indonesia is only a few miles from the equator and therefore is around 100 degrees much of the time). God then played an interesting joke on her when she returned to Los Altos: her parents told her that she had to thank some people who had supported her, and promptly took her to Alaska to do so.

Follow Through is Charlotte’s song because of the cello part.

“Love Him” – that’s what they say to do, but I don’t have a perfect attitude,
It’s a problem with my foolish heart when it wants to stray from God.
‘Serve Him’ – that’s how they say to live, but I have gifts that I don’t want to give,
It’s a problem with my foolish heart when it wants to stray from God.

So I must place in Your hand my widow’s mite and entrust my all to Your care,
For if I don’t honor You as Lord of my life it will only lead to despair,
I want to live my life for You alone, to Your love be ever true,
So with commitment born of the Spirit’s power I dedicate myself in sacrifice to You.

“Love Him” – must I reciprocate to the Lord who my commitment awaits?
It’s the quandary of my doubting heart when it knows that Christ is Lord.
‘Serve Him’ – must I give Him my all? Must I follow His orders and His call?
It’s reluctance in my doubting heart, How much must I afford?

“Love Him” – give Him all the praise, and honor my Lord in every way,
It’s the passion of my humble heart when to God it’s been made true,
‘Serve Him’ – glorify the Name of Jesus, the First, the Last, the same,
I dedicate myself to follow His way,
Every day, every way, I’ll follow through.
