Set the World on Fire

This is a note I wrote when I began to hear God's calling for me to return to Africa. I wrote this in February before I had any idea of where or when or how I would be going.

I wanna set the world on fire
until it’s burning bright for You
it’s everything that I desire
can I be the one You use?
I am small but
You are big enough
I am weak but
You are strong enough
to take my dreams
come and give them wings.
Lord with You
there’s nothing I cannot do.

I wanna feed the hungry children.
and reach across the Father’s land
and tell the broken there is healing
and mercy in the Father’s hands.

My hands, my feet
my everything
my life, my love
Lord use me.
I wanna set the world on fire

Take my dreams
come and give them wings.
Lord with you
there’s nothing I cannot do

I’m gonna set the world on fire.
set the world on fire....

Abridged version of BRITT NICOLE's "Set The World On Fire"

So what's the deal with the lyrics? They say exactly what I want to do. It's my prayer for my life. I'm writing this note for two reasons:
1. To let you know that I am seriously considering going back to Africa after I graduate. The idea is to go teach for a year and then come back here for a while before I commit to the long term thing.
2. To ask you to pray for me in all of this. I want to go where He is calling me to be. I need to hear Him clearly and for all the doors to start opening for this to happen if I am going to teach in Africa after graduation, which will likely be as early as August. That means a lot of things need to work out for me to go this year.

oh and 3. Let me know what you think, advice, etc. Also, let me know if you have any connections for me to teach in Africa. I need to start networking a lot more.

I know your prayers will help guide me and they mean a lot to me. I love you all!!

I thought the first note should reflect the beginning of my present adventure. I still need your prayers. I am confident that God has heard them and that prayer has gotten me to where I am. Advice/ comments are always welcomed. And the lyrics are still the prayer of my heart... I don't think that will ever change.
