I refuse

"I could choose not to move but I refuse"

It is rare that a song moves me. I mean really moves me. Recently, I found a song that beyond did it for me. The song is I refuse by  Josh Wilsons. This song has become the cry of my heart. This song has inspired, motivated and convicted me.

I am blessed beyond measures. In my worst day, I know I don't have to struggle for the basic necessities. I know I have a roof over my head, food in my stomach a bed to sleep in every night and a car to drive. I know there are a lot of people out there that are not as fortunate as me. And I truly feel blessed for what I have. I want to do my part in try to help out my community and people who are less fortunate. That's what this song talks about

"I refuse

To stand and watch the weary and lost
Cry out for help
I refuse to turn my back
And try and act like all is well

I refuse to stay unchanged
To wait another day, to die to myself
I refuse to make one more excuse"

I refuse to sit back and do nothing when I want to. So I'm not. I made some calls, talked to some people, and found a place called Mission Norman.  I'm not sure if this is the place that God has called me to volunteer or not but I am going to see. It might be a different place, but God has called me to help. They said they are more than happy to have volunteers so tomorrow morning I am getting up early (which I hate to do) and going to go give a few hours to see if I can't bless someones life like I have been blessed.  I am excited!  ...I pray God could use me in a way I couldn't imagine.  I pray I make a difference in someones life. I pray that I can help someone in someway.  I pray I can show Gods love to someone. Tomorrow is my first day. I am hoping I can go once or twice a week and help out for a few hours. I have no idea where they will use me at but I am excited to lend a hand. I will blog, and keep you posted on how it is, what God is doing and what I am doing.

  Oh, I refuse

To sit around and wait for someone else
To do what God has called me to do myself
Oh, I could choose
Not to move but I refuse

I refuse
