When You Hear Tim McGraw I Hope You Think Of Me

I'm in a weird mood right now it's 10:18 am Tuesday Febuary 19th. I am sitting alone in a coffee shop, here in San Pablo city Philippines. Drinking ice tea and listening to country music, sound peaceful right well mabey to a normal person but one thing I have learned about myself is that I'm not really normal. My mind is racing with a million different thoughts about everything from life to love, music my friends, family, God my possible trips to China and Thailand that I might go on while I'm over hear. Do we ever really know what the future has in store even when we feel God speak to us about the next step can we ever fully grasp it. Who knows but God is at work that is one thing I will forever be sure of, last week I wrote a blog about coming back to Asia next year for a year. Then the next thing I know doors start opening there is an American here in the camp right now and me and him hit it off right away, litterally hours after my blog was posted he talks to me about coming back to Asia for a year next year. Then a pastor here at the camp starts talking about how the Lord is going to be moving his family to China in June. So hopefully I will get to go with him the end of this month to scout the land. So when I come back there is an open door in China the Lord continues to show me that he has never taking his hand of my life. Doors are being opened for me to minister over hear and my dream in starting to come alive, when I arrived in the Philippines 4 years ago I was a much different person, there was alot of termoil in my life, but good used the kind and gentle spirit of the Filipino people to soften and break my heart. Last time I left I made a promise to myself and God that I would give all I have to this nation until he call's me home or "home." I'm not 100% what I am trying to say right now but as I listen to Tim McGraw sing about living like you were dying that is what I want to really say through this blog. If there is a dream in your heart go for it I'm doing it right now and have never felt better this is where I belong, this is what I'm ment to do live by faith from a suitcase that is where true spiritual freedom comes from. If your dream is to backpack Liberia telling people about Jesus, or if God has impressed on your heart to get famous and save Hollywood. Anything and everything if it is the dream God has given you do it, take the plunge jump of that cliff grow wings and soar above clouds just you and our creator. You gotta take the first step though as my Mom says the journey of Faith is not for wimps, if you live your whole life as a "wimp" you will miss everything God has for you, you gotta be bold to do things the world calls stupid. If you don't have a dream yet get one however you gotta do it for me it took hokking up with LifeForce I hated acting and speaking and anything to do with crying which seems to be a large part of LifeForce, but through it I have been learning Gods plan for me. Whats your next move you can pray about it till your blue in the face but sometimes you gotta just do it (thank you Nike). Well I will let you go, the preasance of the Lord is so strong in this coffee shop right now I think the people working here think I'm crazy. I love y'all May God bless you and keep may he cause his face to shine apon you.

Cameron, I am so proud of you right now, I can't wipe my smile off of my face. First off, way to write! I never thought I'd see the day that Cam Sparks wrote a blog, and second way to chase your dream. You are such an inspiration to me. Be blessed friend, and stay away from the crazy monkeys in the jungle

Cam, this is wonderful!

Great to see what the Lord can do, and what he is doing in your life!

And I just wrote a blog somewhat along the same lines...dreams. Wow. And if we are willing, all we really have to do is say yes and do it and he'll take us deeper than we can imagine!

Take up your cross and follow me. That's all he really wants.
