set the world on fire

a couple of years ago i heard the song "set the world on fire" by britt nicole.  it beecame a theme song of sorts for me.

set the world on fire
britt nicole

I wanna set the world on fire
Until it's burning bright for you
It's everything that I desire
Can I be the one you use?

I am small but
You you are big enough
I am weak but
You you are strong enough to

Take my dreams
Come and give them wings
Lord with you
There's nothing I cannot do
Nothing I cannot do

I wanna feed the hungry children
And reach across the farthest land
And tell the broken there is healing
And mercy in the father's hands

I am small but
You you are big enough
I am weak but
You you are strong enough to

Take my dreams
Come and give them wings
Lord with you
There's nothing I cannot do
Nothing I cannot do

aren't the words perfect?  i am small but God is big enough to take my dreams and help them become reality.  today i got to live some of those dreams a little bit.  it was one of those days where at the end of the day i was like "this is exactly where i'm supposed to be and this is exactly what i'm supposed to be doing."  we had a meeting today for people in our community about how we work together to meet the needs of the families that we serve here in corsicana and navarro county.  pastors, teachers, bank reps, agency personnel, community volunteers, pastors...they were all there to talk about how we address challenges we face as a communtiy in working together.  it. was. fabulous.  i'm SO excited to see where today's conversations go and what happens in our community as a result of the work of people dedicated to making life better for families in Navarro County.  thank you Lord for placing me here for this time in my life.  He is SO good!

Things I'm Loving Thursday...

These are the things I'm loving today...

my alma mater

i'm loving the idea that i get to spend 2 days at this wonderful place this weekend with my awesome friends and thousands of other baylor-ites.  LOVE it!

just like Jesus

we have been reading this book over the last several months on Wednesday nights at church for prayer meeting/Bible study.  it's been challenging and encouraging.  max has such a great way with words that encourages you and cuts to the core all at the same time.  any suggestions on other max books to read?

Northside
i. love. my. job.  the freedom, the opportunities, the people, the volunteers, the community...it's awesome.  don't get me wrong, it has its moments of not-so-awesomeness, but on the whole, it's great.  i am so thankful that God has placed me here for this time.
