Use Your Voice

Staying silent is not always the best thing to do in certain situations. I feel that I have been passive and silent for too long. This is something that has been tugging at me for a while - why don't I use my voice? Why am I afraid to speak up?

Today a classmate of mine challenged me to be more vocal. I had hoped that this person would be able to do all of the talking, and I'd just give suggestions on what to say, but I was poked back at and I realized that I need to stop relying on other people's strengths and get some of my own. I am placed here for a reason and I should make use of my situation. I feel like I have been too shy to speak up because I keep telling myself that I am too small to make a difference, too small to make a change, too small for anyone to listen to. But that is not true. I have a voice and I have a duty to help my fellow brothers and sisters when they are in need. So He has called, I must trust and not be afraid to step up and answer.

Ordinary Life - Starfield

Take me and invade me

Make me someone new

Wake me from the dead 

And break me with the truth

Move me and disturb me

Interrupt my peace

Tear open my heart

And pull me to my knees

There's a world outside

That is burning

While I'm turning blinded eyes

While I stand by

I won't survive

To live this ordinary life

I'm not alive

To live this ordinary life

And I will try

To see this world I live in 

With Your eyes 

To love this world You've given

With my life

To see this world I live in 

With Your eyes 

To love this world You've given

With my life
