The way I was made

When I write songs on the guitar, I always play them for my mom but always refuse to sing it, I don't know why I just don't like singing in front of people.. Unless its like in church, then I don't care who hears me.. Kinda Wierd huh?

Anyway, I got a new CD at the Christmas party, Chris Tomlin "Arriving", and it has a song on it named "The way I was Made" here is a part of it:

Made in Your likeness, made with Your hands
Made to discover who You are and who I am
And All I’ve forgotten help me to find
All that You’ve promised let it be in my life

I want to live like there’s no tomorrow
I want to dance like no one’s around
I want to sing like nobody’s listening
Before I lay my body down
I want to give like I have plenty
I want to love like I’m not afraid
I want to be the man I was meant to be
I want to be the way I was made

It's one of them songs that just make you want to you and proclaim Jesus, getting arrested because we won't shutup. Kinda like Joe the Turk, what an example he's left for us by the way, he would preach on the streets and when arrested, he would preach in jail. And it like woke me up ya know? The song pretty much speaks for itself. I want to live my life the way God wants me to, the way I was made.
God wants me to use the talents and gifts He's given me to my best ability. Its kind of like when I moved here to painesville, opportunities were given to serve Christ. Although I'm not moving There are opportunities for me to share the gift God's personally blessed me with. And yes sometimes It can be hard to come out of my shell, alot of times it can actually, but I refuse to live life inside of a little shell. I'm going to step out of my confort zone for once, It may take a while and a lot of prayer, but I am here for Christ and yet again, I am not about to pass up what God has in store.

Again Lord, I say to you
I will follow, Your words are true
Your promise just, Your will sustained
And in Your shadow, I will remain
