God is with you

I came to the realization this weekend...you dont need to be in a church service, or a christian conference or anything like that for God to speak to you, and to grow in your spirituality in an insane way. I've been in Vancouver/abbotsford since friday morning, just hanging out...but I have grown. I've been growing like...non stop since december, but this weekend has been...AGH...so awesome. I spent friday and part of saturday with Paige (Honeycomb!!) and we just hung out...and pulled out the guitar for old times sake...and it was so random and so amazing. Then yesterday...I spend time on the downtown east side of Vancouver with some of the war college students and it was amazing. I dont know how to describe it. Its all been like...a reassurance of my calling from God. I've been trying to teach myself exactly what it means to praise God in every word you speak, every breath you breathe and every step you take...and its really starting to come alive. My crazy growth has been amazing...and I know there will be a lot more to come...and im so stoked for that.

Change

So I was driving along...and Im listening to Sean Kingston...singing along..."Yeah all these beautiful girls" you know...just chillin. Then this song came on, its called change...and I was totally speachless...I've been listening to this song over and over again trying to figure it out. Well...here are the lyrics....tell me what you think.

And ask yourself the question...can God work through this song? Even if its a secular artist?

Change – Sean Kingston

[Chorus:]
Oh I wish I had the power, the power to change the world
But I'm just one man trying to do it on my own
Oh I wish I had the power, the power to change the world
But I'm just one man trying to do it on my own
Can someone help me (change the world)?
Can somebody help me (change the world)?

Everyday I see the youth, they're chilling on the corners
Hustling crack and marijuana
Because they don't have no guidance
Nobody just be guiding, no

Hope to see black people living longer
Also less kids without fathers
We should all come together
Please stop fighting and killing each other

[Pre-chorus:]
It's what happens when you're living in the street life
It's so dark and you don't get sunlight
People're seeing why you don't get treated right
But I'm gonna try to change it

[Chorus]

Many people're living off welfare
Hoping things get better next year
But I'm covered in tears
So many sick without health care

Too many innocent people dyin'
And I don't know why
You gotta keep your eyes open even when you're rollin'
As days go by

[Bridge:]
Somebody, change the world
We've got little boys and little girls
Growing up on this sinful earth
Oh what's happening?
I don't know, but please tell me
We've got all these criminals and discretes
Killing people for no reason
I don't know why
