Apart from you, I am nothing

I've been reading..books that I can't even put down. I love being hungry for the word and for stories of God's power. This is what I've gotten out of it the past few weeks...
We were created for a purpose much greater than ourselves, the kind of purpose that can only be accomplished in the power of his spirit.
God puts people in positions where they are desperate for his power, and then he shows his provision in ways that display his greatness.

"I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things...And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it."

My heart is screaming for this adventure I keep reading about in the bible and in books. Where people are risking their lives everyday just to praise a God that I praise too, I just have the opportunity a lot easier. In a church where I can go whenever I want, get involved in any youth group or volunteer opportunity at any time. Meanwhile, people in other countries are gathering in secret in the worst conditions to learn about Jesus.
I just wanna go. We were all created to be more than who we are right now. I want to see a world that I don't live in everyday. I want to learn new things, eat new foods (even though i am the pickiest eater of all time) I want to do what I feel called to do, to give my life away.
Volleyball will end.
School will end.
Jobs will end.
Cars, TV's, computers, schedules... it will all end...

but souls last forever, the word of God is forever.
