I don't know about you guys, but this song just gives me goosebumps! I've been listening to conference tapes and just thinking so much about the Gospel and about our purposes in mortality and about Heavenly Father's plan. The idea of serving a mission is SO EXCITING to me! We have such great purpose in this life, and such great purpose on the mission!
But I think the message of the song can be applied to our lives in mortality, and also our time on the mission. I love how C.S. Lewis wrote the Chronicles of Narnia and how much of it parallels our celestial and our mortal lives. I love his relgious thoughts and teachings. I think this song is a good example of how much it all relates. I just thought I'd share the lyrics with you.

The Call--Regina Spektor
from The Chronicles of Narnia --Prince Caspian

It started out as a feeling
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word
And then that word grew louder and louder
Till it was a battle cry
I'll come back when they call me
No need to say goodbye

Just because everything's changing
Doesn't mean it's never been this way before
All you can do is try to know who your friends are
As you head off to the war

Pick a star on the dark horizon
And follow the light
You'll come back when it's over
No need to say goodbye
You'll come back when it's over
No need to say goodbye

Now we're back to the beginning
It's just a feeling and no one knows yet
But just because they can't feel it too
Doesn't mean that you have to forget

Let your memories grow stronger and stronger
Until they're before your eyes
You'll come back when they call you
No need to say goodbye
You'll come back when they call you
No need to say goodbye

  2. Um... you're going on a mission? How do I miss these details?! Or you're really not going on a mission and I'm just confused...
    I'm confused.

  3. Hey brooke--
    The book was Summerhouse by Jude Devaroux (I might have misspelled the last name).
