This is Leah again...isn't she precious?? she is soooo cute! i love her so much! The day she came home from the hospital i sat down with her an just started to cry!! She is so precious, sweet and innocent, and I am already so proud of her!! 








MAN this went by WAY TOO FAST!!!! The day i have been waiting for, for such a long time has finally come!!...and gone away way to fast!! Today was the CYIA reunion! We had so much fun, playing badminton, basket ball, Soccer swimming, and having a GREAT time of sharing and testimony time and telling stories of the Summer! i realized just how much I really miss my friends from CYIA!! i miss playing sports with them, hanging out, and just making memories with them!! they are all such good friends, and i am blessed TREMENDOUSLY to have them, God has used them all in some special way this Summer, I was so nervous about moving, and leaving all my old Friends from our home church, and youth group, But knowing these guys has REALLY helped everything to go just a little bit smoother, and i realized just how much God really cares about me! Sometimes i just wonder, "How in the world can God really love me so much??!! and Why in the world does He choose to use Me??"
As most of you know, we have recently moved to the CEF (Child Evangelism Fellowship) of NH state office, and yesterday i was put to work! In this picture, i am taking apart resource bags (they have all the supplies and visuals for 5-Day clubs) and taking inventory of all their supplies, and then organizing them so that the next Summer they are needed, they will be ready to be put back in binders!! It may look hopelessly unorganized and messed up, but now its all organized!! (yeah huh!!...I'm not lying, i promise!!)
In a culture where individuality is prized, we still
don’t believe that one person can make a difference. We don’t believe that every
choice matters and affects those around us.
We still don’t believe that our
lives can change the world.
I, for one, am not going to accept
that.
“I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do
everything, but still I can do something. I will not refuse to do the something
I can do.”
It doesn’t matter if you work 9 to 5.
It doesn’t matter if you stay at home and live a quiet life. It doesn’t matter
if you are a full time musician or student. It doesn’t matter if you’re not
incredibly gifted.
If you are here on this earth,
God has a purpose for your life. He has a calling on you to affect change in
this world as He lives through you. To seek anything less than this call is
wrong. Already, too many people don’t think their lives matter. Too many people
don’t care about affecting the world for good.
God’s people shouldn’t “do
nothing”.
If I could do one thing to change the world, it would be to give
people glasses to see the world through the lens of Jesus. Then, people would reach out. Then, people would see hurts and not be
apathetic, or think their lives insignificant.
That’s why I’m going to
Ecuador. That’s why I spent months on the streets of Portland. That’s why I
teach and mentor.
Because Jesus will change the world through
me.
What about you?
What one thing would you do to change the
world if you could?
What will you do to change the world
today?
