I Refuse

I admit it, I am a music lover!! Love it to my core! God made me to love all types of music, but when we get down to it Christian music touches my soul! I can't imagine going through one day without music. I love to listen to it, I love to sing it! I love to sing it so much that I cannot listen to it while going to bed, otherwise I just lie awake and sing! God gets me through each day with music, and He speaks to me through music more than anywhere else. So what better than to combine what Scripture says with music. The perfect combination! As most of you know I have a heart for orphans and adoption. God calls us to look after orphans and widows, that He is the Father to the fatherless. We are suppose to take up this cause, I believe more than anything. These are children who need loving families, to share with them what you have, the simple every day things. Not necessarily extravagant things, these kiddo's normally have nothing, so what you offer them is their basic necessities met. More important you offer them love of a family, and if you are a believer the love of our Jesus! What could be easier! If God calls you to adopt, then believe me when I say this, He will move mountains to make sure it happens. Will it be easy? Absolutely not! Will it be worth it? I believe YES with every fiber of my being! Children deserve to be in a forever family, no matter the circumstances.

This song was written by Josh Wilson and it should be ALL of our hearts cries! I am refusing! Will you refuse with me??? (You can hear it on my playlist at the bottom of the blog)

Sometimes I

I just want to close my eyes

And act like everyone's alright

When I know they're not

This world needs God

But it's easier to stand and watch

I could say a prayer and just move on

Like nothing's wrong

But I refuse

'Cause I don't want to live like I don't care

I don't want to say another empty prayer

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 can hear the least of these

Crying out so desperately

And I know we are the hands and feet

Of You, oh God

So, if You say move

It's time for me to follow through

And do what I was made to do

Show them who You are

'Cause I don't want to live like I don't care

I don't want to say another empty prayer

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

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

'Cause I don't want to live like I don't care

I don't want to say another empty prayer

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

I refuse

To learn more about how you can help an orphan find a forever family visit Show Hope an orphan ministry from Steven Curtis Chapman and his family after they adopted, or visit America World Adoption  or any other number of Adoption Agencies.

Won't you answer the call of the cry of the fatherless?

Looking forward to sharing our adoption journey as it unfolds.
