Do You Feel?

So I've been trying to hear God's voice for a long-o time-o. I keep ignoring it (subcontiously of course) even when I know its not like he actually "speaks" in this big booming voice... "Melssa. I was you to..." Although that would be nice. But I know thats not the way he works. So latey I've really been listening to other people. Because God speaks through other people. And boy, oh boy have I been getting some answers.
-this whole summer was one clue. I ended up in North Carolina. Definitly not a random place.
-this week with Val coming up to me and asking me to help her out with youth group. (I'm PUMPED)
-tonight at church talking about people who have nothing, and how we have to step out there and hellp them, because who else will?
-also tonight when Arlene spoke about how are you supposedto minister...

its like all these things was God's low booming voice saying "Melissa. I want you to..."

And this new Rockey Summer CD is amazing. Its not even really my kind of music, but I think God wants me to listen to it to speak to me again. And he has been. So basically here's my new testimony in one song:



I'm thinking 'bout other things I heard about today
All this week and tomorrow
And how these hands could create some better things for bettering
but you see for now I got my own things
I cant help it
I got too many issues I own
So I cannot help I'm afraid, yeah
But keep on preaching, preaching and heal the world
Lip service makes up look great

Do you feel
The weight of the world singing sorrow
Or to you is it just not real
'Cause you got your things
Yeah we all have our things I guess

I guess my mind wanders off
from time to time
Sometimes I convince myself
that all is fine in the world
It's not mine
Why should I
have to try
to fix things I didn't create or contrive

Do you feel
The weight of the world singing sorrow
Or to you is it just not real
'Cause you got your own things
Yeah we all have so many things

Have the habits
Had you
Has it been for long
Can you feel the souls behind what's going on

Do you feel
The weight of the world singing sorrow
Or to you is it just not real
'Cause you got your own things
Yeah all have our things

Do you feel
The weight of the world singing sorrow
Or to you is it just not real
'Cause you got your things
'Cause we all have so many things
And I can get past these things

Looks like we're having similar thoughts at the same time! haha. Yah, when God wants you to do something, he'll find a way to make you listen. He knows exactly who to send into your life so that you will listen to him. I think that is like the coolest thing ever!!

And that song has some pretty sweet lyrics!! :-)
