Today has been a great day! From morning till moonlight, I have been blessed with opportunities to practice my faith, learn about my Jesus, share the day with my friends and listen to God.
I have been asking God to break my heart for the people of this world that I might be compelled to share God's Great News. As the day came to a close, I could feel the Holy Spirit tugging on my heart...
I grabbed my iPod shuffle, headed out the door, and started walking...
As I walked, I began talking to God and asking Him again to break my heart. I coninued walking and found myself at the OC campus. I stopped and asked God, "Please burden me Lord; let me hear but a fraction of the cries of the people of this world." I turned my iPod off and began walking around the campus looking for opportunities to learn, listen and share the Gift I had inside.
I passed by 2 students... 3 students... 6 students... I just kept walking; I couldn't understand why.
Why couldn't I just walk up to them and share what I knew? It was like I was fighting myself inside; half of me wanting so badly to tell each person I passed and the other half making excuse after excuse. And so I began talking to God again...
"Why God? Why? What is my purpose in this life if not to share this Great News you have given me??? Could you please help me God? What is holding me back? Have I forgotten my purpose?! Please help me God..."
As I neared my house, I decided to listen to one more song, but, I wanted it to be a surprise. So I put it on shuffle and pressed next... (I had recently uploaded a couple new albums into my iPod and I had yet to listen to all the songs that were on them.)
The song started; I had never heard it before...
Here's the plan
I think i got it made
Life is easy
When you're sitting in the shade
Not too hot not too cold
I think that's what I'll be
Now i'm nervous
And i've come undone
My head is spinning
Like the earth around the sun
I feel you drawing me away
From my complacency
I think i'm ready to go
Won't stop 'til everybody knows
This is the purpose of my life
This is the reason I'm alive
Don't have time to wait
Activate, activate
There is a world out there in need
Now is the time for you and me
Before it gets too late
Activate, activate
Make a move 'cause talk is really cheap
You'll never start a revolution
In your sleep
Showing love to everyone is what
It's all about
One by one everyone activate...
And so God answered my prayers through a "randomly" selected song.
WOW... ... ...

I wanna be more...
I wanna be more than just a “Christian”
a title losing meaning everyday.
I wanna be more than just another
who has been saved, but stays the same.
I wanna be more like the men and women
whose faith was their renown.
I wanna be more like the apostle Paul
who praised God when he was down.
I wanna be more than human
I wanna be more than man.
I wanna be more like Jesus
who is the great I Am.
