if the sun starts crashing and the stars fade


"If the sun burns out and the stars fade, still I have the light that You have placed inside of me. I don't have to fear. I won't be afraid. I'm going to let my light shine bright and watch the darkness fade!" -Me

lyrics for a short song I wrote a while back
I was thinking about them today
and a little bit ago I was thinking about
ministries i've been involved in, in the past

from the bands to Awana to Undone to Revelation
many different things
God has always been able to use me in these ministries
and He as been able to bless me through these ministries too

so many awesome ministry opportunities
and for some of these the sun has burned out
and the stars have faded

But I still have the light
He isn't done with me yet
I'm convinced that He has something big for me
something huge coming soon, and the only
way that I'm going to see it when it gets here
is to stay focused on ministry, and take the
opportunities He brings along to me

When I originally wrote that song I was thinking in a sense of
"If life gets hard I will still shine my light for You God."

but today gave it a new meaning for me

Ministry(living for Christ) doesn't stop when organizations fall
when bands part
or when God pulls us away from a ministry organization
God isn't done using me yet

so if the sun burns out on a ministry
or a ministry loses its splendor
I still have the light that God has given me
and told me in acts 1:8 to shine to the world

i'm not done!
I still have a purpose!
