What Can I Do For You My Lord?

What Can I do for you my Lord?
I want you to know My heart is yours
Its not a question of what you can do for me
But what can I do for you my Lord?

I have this vision.... and it goes something like this:
There is a building downtown. The lights are always on in this building. The windows have curtains in them, bright and welcoming. The door has some catchy name sprawled on it, letting people know what is inside. inside... there is a 'bar', with bar stools. at this 'bar' coffee and ice cream are served (among other things).... depending on the season. sattered throughout the hardwood floor are tables and chairs. the tables are adorned simply with a piece of colored paper and crayons/markers. near the back (aka the front) of this building is a stage, seemingly bare, but will soon be filled with a band. A band with no certain genre... perhaps christian... but not nessisarily. The walls are scribed with Scripture, artwork, and there is room for more.... there are paintbrushes and paint on an easel.
Accross from the bar, is a HUGE mirror. This is for during the day, this place is a dance studio, for those kids that can't afford dance lessons. Or maybe It is something else. who knows?

I don't know. There is some reason for me loving music, but not being musical. for me loving ice cream and coffee. some reason that I can scrawl scripture with ease, but not be artistic. some reason that I LOVE to dance, but have no desire to be famous. Can you put all of those things together? can you come up with some way to create a safe place for kids? there is nothing left in saskatoon for teenagers to hide in. nowhere where God is the center, but the adults are NOT in charge. What if this place was 'church' on sundays? what if....? there are so many possiblities. all it is is a question of what I can do for my god? and what he's gonna do with my heart. he has started to change it already. I just need direction. I will go anywhere. my next year is so uncertain. but I LOVE the thought of Going and doing a DTS, getting a degree in missions stuff, but not 'international studies'. something more close to home. I Love the thought of making church cool. I love the thought of going out into the world... and then coming back home. I know that no matter where I go, I will always return to saskatoon. I know that no matter what I do, it will have something to do with Kids and teens. I know that I can teach. I know that I can do background things. I know alot of things.

But what Can I do for you my Lord?
