If My Lungs Can't Sing, I'll Sing With My Heart

What are your dreams for the future? What will it take for you to look back on your life in 30 years and consider it successful?
     The first thing I asked myself when reading this question was, what are my dreams for the future? Then I asked myself, what are my dreams for God to do in my future? I know that God has big plans for my future. God has given me such great talents and blessings. My most appreciated talent given to me by God is my voice. He gave me a singing voice that lets me worship Him. My dream in life is to glorify and praise God with my voice.
     I want to make my future focus around me worshipping God. So I thought to myself, how can I do that? Last year, I told Jeff Eichenlaub about my dream, and he told me about the Hillsong International Leadership College in Sydney, Australia. This school trains up pastors, sounds techs, singers, musicians, dancers, and everything else incorporated in a worship/church service. As soon as he told me that, I wanted to go there.
     I came home from school that same day and my mom began to tell me about this school. I knew this must have been a message from God confirming to me that I need to go there.
     Who would have ever thought that I would go to Australia and indulge in God's presence in worship? God thinks so much bigger than we do and I find that so amazing. So my biggest dream in life is to reflect the light that shines off of God. And I will be doing that through the gifts He gave to me. In 30 years, I will consider my life successful. How could my life not be successful if I'm following the will of God?

this is where it starts, but not where it ends.
