ocho

Well the day started off LOUD! For those you that have been to Harmons you know what I mean! It was so hard to leave our Jamaican family. We are now in Ocho Rios, some are at Dunns River, some are eating lunch and we are all looking forward to our last team time on the pier tonight. See you soon!

Oh my goodness...My stomach hurts thinking about when I get to see my son for the first time in what seems like an internity!!!!! Tomorrow is going to be THE 2nd longest day of my life...the 1st being the day we all had the 16+ hr lay over in Atlanta last year! James, I hope you remembered to take care of your ears today, so we don't end up in the E.R. like last year with a morphine drip because of that nasty river water. I am not sure how many times I have prayed already for everyone's safe return and preferrably on time AND all together, but don't think, for one minute, I will not continue to pray for that every second I am awake until I see each and every one of your faces! GOD IS GOOD!

"I Refuse"

~by Josh Wilson

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,
Then 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.
