God ruined my life
by Matt Cavanaugh
A huge way God has been moving in me in the last year is making me aware of God's grace in this world and Satan's distractions. I've been learning to sprint (not walk) in my faith towards that grace, towards what is good, and the changes have been monumental and vibrant. Essentially, God has ruined my life...that's a good thing... and He continues to reconstruct me and my attentiveness. I no longer view the world as [just] horrible or fallen or even sinful necessarily; my perspective has changed to perceiving negative things, places, actions, people, etc... as areas of potential for God to move.
I've begun trying to be a part of the moving Kingdom of God and am specifically trying to figure out what I can do to help people in the worst of the worst circumstances (ie sexual trafficking and invisible children stuff). God has also taken my musical self and curbed that skill so that I am no longer doing that for my own glory, but for the glory of God. Every cent raised from my cd's will go to Invisible Children. Last week, at my cd release party, over $100 was raised for Invisible Children. This is clearly God moving and not simply some simple manifestation from my brain. I don't know what tomorrow holds for me and music but it's cool to see God fully using what little musical skill I have for His glory.
