Can I Have It?

This is what I've been askin God since Friday night...Praise Me!, is what I've been hearing since then as well. I don't know what came over me but on my way home last night from a wonderful play by DU's Gospel Choir I began thanking God out loud, IN THE STREET!!! Luckily this is Philly so I blended in well with the crazies talkin out loud to themselves..lol..
But anyway, I began thankin Him for just being God and for everything He's given me then I began to thank Him for things I've been praying for and people I've been praying for. I felt so good and close to Him and I couldn't tell what He was doin but I was comfortable with the feeling I got about everything. I got some great news and as soon as I left I asked God, "Can I have this please?" and Greg, the choir director, begins this lil sermonette that hit me right in the heart.
For a while I've been askin what the Lord would have me do for Him and the kingdom, it just seemed like everybody was doin something and i was comfortable just being a part of the congregation ministry but i got so many pulls and i couldn't figure it out so i just stopped askin, but last nite I asked Him again, "Whatever you want me to do, Lord just tell me"...Well this morning after church one of the ministers at the church asked me to sit on the Youth Ministry Leadership Council of the church. She explained that the people who sit on the board are all full of themselves, too concerned with forming cliques, and too busy tryin to make it all a "Drexel thing" and she needed to step back and allow "fresh annointing" to take over...I laughed because I knew that was happening. I was honored and scared at the same time because I know they are not gonna appreciate me and Tasha comin on board and wreckin ship...lol But I told God whatever He wanted from me will get done, so we'll just wait to see what Bishop says...
I thank God for stepping in the lives of those I've loved in prayer, I thank Him for snatching the lives of those I've stood in proxy for and saving them when He gets ready to, I thank Him for staying close to me even when I forgot He was there. I'm thankful for the future I haven't figured out yet, I'm just greatful...Lord, I promise to do everything and put You first, and whatever you have planned I'll trust You, so Lord, can I have it??
