Worlds Apart (the end of me numbering these posts as miraculous)

Administration: I have decided to stop numbering these posts and calling them miraculous for these three reasons: it's pretentious to continue doing so, my prose isn't all that miraculous, and laziness.
Post: Last lent I gave up coffee and made it my plea that God take my world apart. I made a reference to the Jars of Clay song 'Worlds Apart'. Since then my life has undergone changes, as lives do when left so long. This summer my God made it very clear that this year he was going to do some amazing things this year in both my life and the lives of people I go to school with. I fully expected to be taken out of my comfort zone, to see people's lives changed, and to have my world taken apart. However, these past few weeks I have truly seen what having your world taken apart means. I am unbelievably far out of my comfort zone.  I am in a state of brokenness, but with the joyful anticipation of being rebuilt by God. I truly anticipate that through this process amazing things can and will happen. I have no idea what those things will be, but surprises are fun and life without adventure is boring. 
Also, go listen to 'Worlds Apart'. It's a great song.
