I'm ready for what you have for me

Kirk Franklin- Declaration (This is it)

Gonna cry now, go ahead and get it out of my system...I know I hurt now, but soon I gotta get back to livin'...Can't be here next year, givin' you these same tears I hope you enjoyed it, 'cause it's the last time you will take a piece of me... I start right now, I don't know how I'm gonna get through it I know right now, I pray somehow 'cause I can't do it... I can't keep livin' like this, there's gotta be more than this Jesus, I'm ready, I'm ready for what you have for me... (Are you gonna wait for a sign?) Are you ready for your miracle? God's people it's time to stand up and fight Let's get it, let's get it!

That song is my jam! There is a lot more to it, but this is my favorite piece I pulled out for all of you to read.

"I can't keep livin' like this, there's gotta be more than this, Jesus, I'm ready, I'm ready for what you have for me"

I have learned the hard way, but I am so glad I learned it while I am still young that I can't just live any old way and receive the blessings God has in store for me. This song is amazing because it covers a lot of the things we deal with during our spiritual walk.

I have learned there is a lot more to life with God. There is a lot more joy and peace. There is laughter everywhere. There are good friends that stay by your side through the good and the bad. There are many new people you will meet young and old that will add something to your life.

In order to to truly be ready for what God has in store for you, you have be truly living your life right. God knows our hearts and he is not going to "bless a mess" (Pastor Baldwin used to always say). We should self examine our hearts before we tell God we are ready for what he has for our lives. I am not even about to lie to him and say I'm ready, no no, but I'm getting oh so close. I try and surround myself with positive people, temptations are easier to fight off, I'm smiling more (at least thats what someone at church told me), I make the right decisions.

It is hard to do, but at some point in time (hopefully soon) we all need to let God know "I'm ready for what you have for me" and just let him work all in, through, and around you!

Oh! on a side note: It is not a good idea at all to get only 3 hours of sleep and try to function at work all day! I can't hang like I used to!
