"I've Got To Do Something..."

This is a line that I've had running through my head for a few weeks now.  As I've connected with people through various ministry opportunities, I've noticed that there is a stirring in people to help out in some way.  I know that sounded like a vague statement, but that is the statement I've been hearing.  They see needs everywhere they look, their heart is stirred and they feel like they need to do something .

I've heard it said this way.. They have their firestorm of frustration moment or their moment of Holy discontent.  It's kind of like Popeye.  You remember Popeye right?  That spinach eating sailor who had the incredible privilege of dating the incredibly attractive Olive Oil.  Each time that Bluto would come in and try to steal away Popeye's love, he would say that classic line that stated, "That's all I can stands and I can't stands no more."  Many people seem to be seeing the world around them and have that same mind set and feel the need to "do something".

This is where my heart comes in.  As God has been increasing my "vision" of big picture stuff and stirring my heart for the lost and broken in our community and of the world, God has been giving me a passion to connect people with opportunities to fuel their fire.  As people say, "I've just got to do something" I want to say, "Let sit down and see how this plays out for you. What is it that you want to do?  What is your thing that you can't stands..."

There are needs all around us and many different ways to serve and bless those who need to be blessed.  For those who feel like they just have to do something there are needs in many local churches for people to step up and be a blessing to many areas of ministry.  For others there are local para church and non church opportunities to bless those in need all around our city and any community that they may be a part of.  For others still there is a global need that we as super blessed and often spoiled North Americans can dive into and find areas to invest.  The reality is that there is always something to be done, always areas to serve and always opportunity to change someones world.

The question is, "What is that something you've got to do?"
Don't worry, It's a question I must also ask myself.

For opportunities to serve with Boaz or otherwise connect with me and let's chat.  It's a big world with lots of need and people need your help in many ways.

Blessings all,
