For a few years now I have called myself a "Christian" but there were many things that I refused to surrender to the Lord. I attended Passion 2010 (Jan. 2-5) and I must say that for the first two days and nights I got absolutely nothing from it. I dont know if it was the distraction of 21,00 college students or the freezing weather but for some reason i was discouraged (I later realized that I did nothin to pursue God these two days). During a breakout session with Chris Tomlin, Louie Giglio, Joel Houston, Matt Redman, and Marilyn Skinner at Passion 2010 I finally felt the Lord begin pulling at my heart but it was not until the night service on January 4th that i felt God moving in me. I looked around the packed stands, at the Philips Arena, and saw about 16,000 college aged kids worshiping God and thats when it hit me. i thought to myself that there is no way that all 16,000 of us are being tricked into following some "god", there is no way we are all wrong. I raised my hand and said God I'm ready and in that very moment my life changed! I realized that the reason I have never felt God's presence is because every time I thought I felt him I ran as fast as I could away from him. I also realized that the reason God's never revealed his plan for my life to me is because I have never let him in to change me... I have been a musician for alot longer than I have been a christian and there is nothing in this world I care more about than music. My main passion is songwriting. I have felt God tell me that he wanted to use the talents he gave me to glorify him before but I did absolutely nothing to seek him. On Jan 4th I got my calling, God has called me to write worship songs and to lead through music! This calling was so obvious, it was as if someone stood a foot away from me and held a HUGE sign in my face telling me what to do. I have never been so excited in my life and I can not wait to see where God takes me!! I feel this generation could save the world, we need to band together and act on it!
