My Desire

I’m running through the gates of love, as fast as I can
I can’t wait to see You cuz I’m a desperate man
You made the light and sent it down
to show us who You are
Now It’s bursting out my heart

My desire is burning like a million stars
And I’ll keep reaching out, reaching out for You

I’d be nothing without You, yeah I would die
If I didn’t have Your hand if I couldn’t look into Your eyes
Jesus if Your love’s the fuel then I’m the desperate flame
That’s screaming out Your name

My desire is burning like a million stars
And I’ll keep reaching out, reaching out for You
My desire, is burning with the fire You sparked
And I’ll keep reaching out, reaching out for You

This is glory rising, over a new horizon
I See Your love, I feel Your smile
You're in my heart and I will run with all I have to You

My desire is burning like a million stars
And I’ll keep reaching out, reaching out for You
My desire, is burning with the fire You sparked
And I’ll keep reaching out, reaching out for You

- Desire by Phil Wickham

This break was very much needed. I have grown so much these past few weeks by spending time with my mentors, old friends, being able to share my testimony and what God has been doing with my life with high schoolers and doing ministry with the homeless downtown. I have learned that if you just make yourself available to be used by God, you will be utterly amazed at what he'll do.
This song (Desire by Phil Wickham) pretty much sums up my life this past week. I have been filled with a desire to know God more. Before I felt like I hit a wall in my faith. I once had this same desire but it died out because I wasn't allowing God to use me. I tried reading my Bible, but I was having trouble applying it to my life. It took me awhile to regain that passion, and I pray that when I get back to Greenville, I'll be able to hold on to it and not let it go again.
I want to help. My heart is to serve people.





Next semester my goal is to fully give myself to God, and trust in his timing. I want to be used by him, and I don't want to miss out on anything he has to offer. I plan to get involved with Dirty Roots Revolution and serve the homeless in St. Louis. Being home in St. Louis over break has made it easier for me to go and visit them, and I want to encourage everyone to at least try it once. At first, it's intimidating because you don't really know what to say, but afterward you are just in a good mood and want to go back, at least I did. Serving others and spending time with people is what drives me.



I want to serve.
I want to make myself available.
I want to know God more and more.
I want to glorify him in everything.
I want to discover who I am in Christ.
