I've listened to this song many times but it sounded differently to my ears today. I don't want to live for my own little world anymore, I want to live for a bigger purpose, HIS! I told the FCA students I spoke to on Friday that God tells us to take care of the Orphans and the Widows. He took my ability away to birth a child so that I could live that life. He made it were that was my only option. How awesome is it that God chose me for this journey in life? Many are blessed to say they have had a child, Iwill be blessed to say that I gave children a home that would not have had one before. I hope this song pulls at your heartstrings like it did mine on this beautiful day of the Lord.
Oh and something else is happening today at church that makes my heart sing as well, it's what I live for some days. Can't wait to share it this afternoon!
My Own Little World by Matthew West
In my own little world it hardly ever rains
I’ve never gone hungry, always felt safe
I got some money in my pocket, shoes on my feet
In my own little world
Population: me
I try to stay awake during Sunday morning church
I throw a twenty in the plate, but I never give ’til it hurts
I turn off the news when I don’t like what I see
Yeah,it’s easy to do when it’s
Population: me
What if there’s a bigger picture?
What if I’m missing out?
What if there’s a greater purpose
I could be living right now
Outside my own little world oooh
Well, I stopped at a red light, looked out my window
I saw a cardboard sign, said “Help this homeless widow”
Above that sign was the face of a human
and I thought to myself, “God, what have I been doing?”
So I rolled down the window and I looked her in the eye
I thought how many times have I just passed her by?
So I gave her some money then I drove on through
And my own little world reached
Population: two
What if there’s a bigger picture?
What if I’m missing out?
What if there’s a greater purpose
I should be living right now
Outside my own little world yeah, yeah
My own little world oooh
Father break my heart for what breaks Yours
Give me open hands and open doors
and put Your Light in my eyes and let me see
That my own little world is not about me
What if there’s a bigger picture?
What if I’m missing out?
What if there’s a greater purpose
That I could be living right now
Well I dont wanna miss what matters
i wanna be reaching out
showing the greater purpose
so I could be living right now
Outside my own little world oooh
My own little world yeah
My own little world oooh
Jordan
