Tonight, Joel Houston brought the word and I was intrigued by his word. I felt that God was speaking to me. This is what I have been struggling or you could say my thinking is that one day I will change the world or do something for others is when I am sorted. Meaning, I have my degree and have a good job backed behind me. I need to step away from this thinking and start doing something with what I have in my hands now. I have achieved my degree and have the job I want but what now? I think I am too comfortable and just sitting back. The longer I wait to have everything sorted in my life, the world will have moved on and is left behind. The thing that is holding me back to do great things is that I feel I am not capable to do great things and feel I am not ready for it.
God has destined each and everyone of us to do great things but it is a matter of actually putting my hand and saying,"Yes God, I want to be in a revolution and most importantly be the revolution of yesterday, today and tomorrow." Wouldn't it be great to say to people, I am a part of this cause.
Joel shared wonderful stories of how people, just like you and me can make a difference for the world. We don't need to be heros or celebrities to change the world. I really liked the story about Toms Shoes. Me, coming from an advertising background, I thought the concept was really interesting and a creative way in helping others and putting other people's needs before ourself.

"This world demands the qualities of youth: not a time of life but a state of mind, a temper of the will, a quality of imagination, a predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease." - Robert Kennedy.
I am putting my hand up and I want to be a part of the revolution for today and tomorrow. I don't know what revolution I want to be a part but all out know is God has something bigger for me instore =)
