So here I am, sitting in the dark, listening to worship music. I have been thinking alot lately about why the Lord brought us here and what exactly are we suppose to be doing. I feel like we are where we are suppose to be, and teaching was been great, but is there more? While talking to God about this and pondering the future the song, Take My Life by Chris Tomlin came on. Although I have listened to the song many times before, the lyrics really hit me this time. I need to just give it all to God. Yes, I may not know what the future holds, what He has planned for us, or what exactly he is wanting of us. But I do have His word, prayer and trust that he will lead us in the right direction. I need to be open and available to his calling and direction, and that is what I am striving to do.
Here are the lyrics:
Take my life and let it be consecrated, Lord, to Thee.
Take my moments and my days, let them flow in ceaseless praise.
Take my hands and let them move at the impulse of Thy love.
Take my feet and let them be swift and beautiful for Thee.
Take my voice and let me sing always, only for my King.
Take my lips and let them be filled with messages from Thee.
Take my silver and my gold not a mite would I withhold.
Take my intellect and use every power as You choose.
::Chorus::
Here am I, all of me. Take my life, it's all for Thee.
Take my will and make it Thine it shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart it is Thine own it shall be Thy royal throne.
Take my love, my Lord I pour at Your feet its treasure store
Take myself and I will be ever, only, all for Thee.
Take myself and I will be ever, only, all for Thee.
This is my goal, every breath that I take is a gift from God, the most I can do is give my life for his glory and kingdom.

I soooo love that song too!! We used to sing it at camp all the time when i worked there in the summers. It's amazing! miss u guys!! take care!
What an awesome song...after coming home from visiting you guys, I too have been wondering what God's plan is & where that's going to lead & I've been trying to figure it out on my own. But, that's not what God wants of us...He's got it all planned out & He will reveal it to us in His time...we just have to be patient & wait upon Him. That's where I struggle most...
