City on our Knees
~Toby Mac
“If you gotta start somewhere why not here
If you gotta start sometime why not now
If we gotta start somewhere I say here
If we gotta start sometime I say now
Through the fog there is hope in the distance
From cathedrals to third world missions
Love will fall to the earth like a crashing wave”
Last year was a big turn over year for our homeschool group. Since then, our group has not been very active, and I became a little frustrated. So much so, I took on an attitude of why try? I am absolutely positive God was beating his head against the wall with frustration over this attitude of mine.
God: Why try? Why not try? Hello down there, are you hearing me?
Me: Where would I start God?
God: How about right where you are!
So here I sit, raging with excitement, thrilled at the unknown, starting here and now! Why not live your life out loud screaming who you are right here, right now! This song speaks volumes to me as a person, as a mom, as a Christian, as a family who homeschools, as a leader. There is no better time to be who we are, living the life God gave us, than this very moment. Waiting for a calmer time in my life, or a time when I have it all together is ludicrous. It will never come! Tonight’s the night, seize the day, live for God, lead for God, serve for God now!
