These past few days I've felt so inspired.
I've always been lost. I never made any plans for my future. "A dream without plans is just a wish." as Diddy would put it. At church we talked about using our time. Some people find they have that one thing they were made to do. I used to think they were the lucky ones, it was easy for them to plan because they knew what they wanted. For me, it was something different all the time. I wanted to be a marine biologist. I wanted to be an author. I wanted to be a meteorologist. I wanted to be a teacher. A doctor. A lawyer, an actor, a dancer. Then, when I discovered God..I wanted to be a Christian. That hasn't changed much. I now know what I want to do. I want to show the world the Incredible One that saved my life. There are many ways people feel connected to God. Some find Him when they serve. Some when they pray, or when they read the Bible. For me, it's always been music. When I accepted Jesus into my heart, it was during a song. When I cried for forgiveness it was through music. That's when I connect. That's when I get those chills, and that inexplicable warmth. That's when I catch glimpses of Heaven and hear God's voice. And that's what I want to do with my time, while I wait. We're put on this Earth to serve Him. I want to do that through music. When I saw Hillsong United in concert a few months back..and I saw them singing and dancing and talking to God..I realized that's where I want to be. The band at church last night..well, they were incredible. They said, "We're not here to put on any show. When you clap, don't clap for us, clap for Jesus. We're all here together. We're just the ones leading this." Yes, although they get paid to do it, they treat it like it's just "getting together with friends and strangers to praise our God." What better way would you want to spend your life?
Short-Term Goal: Join the FCA band at school, and praise God with friends.
Long-Term Goal: Join a professional band, go on tour, and praise God with the world.
What are your Goals?
