I'm going to be a big star one day.

“He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.”- Micah 6:8

For as long as I can remember wanting to make my life singing for God, I wanted to do it so I could use any money for missions. Thinking upon that today, I realize just how much more present the desire to be 'mission minded' or to really do what Jesus would do, which is to serve the poor, needy, hungry, cold, thirsty, weary, prisoner, ect... I was surprised for just a moment when I remembered why I still have these little dreams of singing for God, and how even then, nearly 7 years ago, that seed in my heart was what God was raising up in my generation. I don't have any conclusions to draw from this little revelation, but I see how God is using me where I am, not where I want to be. While I am not making tons of money to give away, I am making money. While I may truly end up giving out of my poverty soon, what other way is there to give? It is my challenge right now, and throughout this year to live below my means so that I can serve the kingdom of God right here, right now-- not just to give charity, but to help bring justice to those suffering due to social circumstances and beyond. So, I'll just keep on keepin' on, praying, praising, and asking God to continue to make me who he wants me to be, being obedient to His word- the Light in the darkness.

He's got the whole world in His hands!
