Hello!
As I attended the contemporary service at school tonight, a key phrase stood out from the speaker's story..."look for the signs." She was talking about how when she was abroad doing community service, it was easier for her to see what God wanted her to do in order to help those around her. However, when she came back to the states, and most importantly, came back to school, her vision became clouded and confusing.
I have to trust God that He will send me a sign, send me a sign for me to act on. Whether it is small, medium, or large, I will do my best to use his guidance in my life. Right now is the best time for me to shape the direction of my life. I just hope that I can see the signs when they appear.
"Trust the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your path"
This is one of my favorite verses. We, myself completly included, are afraid to trust God with our lives and decisions. I know that I am. I am going to have to learn how to trust Him more. Especially if I want Him to lead my life completly right now, this MUST happen. I'm going to write this verse in my room, so that I can see it. I'll put it by the door so that when I leave, I will be reminded to look out for the signs. Look out for the signs to lead my life.

What Happened To Turn This Around
Hey guys! Well, I said on my last post that something had happened to me, to turn me around, the event that I had been hoping for. Here it is.
After going through a difficult year, I struggled with my self identity. I longed to do something with my life. I wanted to show people what I could do. I felt like I had potential, but I had no idea how to channel that power.
This year, I have been seeking Christian ministries on campus. On Sunday, I went to a contempory service on campus and I was over-flowing with emotions after it was over. I have not felt such a sense of community in a while, and when we served communion to the person next to us, it was over whelming. During the service, Sean D Carasso, the starter of the non-profit "Falling Whistles," talked to us about his organization. It was amazing to hear him speak, so I went his official presentation a few days later.
His presentation, hate to sound cliche, but, spoke to me. It was exactly what I was looking for in my life. He talked, in addition to his organization, about the power in all of us. The power for us to stand up and be whistle blowers; to be whistle blowers for peace, for the end of the war in Congo, for change in the world. I was so inspired to be a whistle blower. For the first time, I felt like I had the ability to change the world. I felt like I could be part of a great movement, with people my own age, to change the world. This is what I am going to do. I plan on being a part of this movement in any way possible. I will be a whistle blower.

New Direction
Hello everyone!
I will have to write more later, but I just wanted to share the blog's new direction.
I want to be a part of the change in the world. Our generation has so much power and potential, and I want to be a part of it! I want to jump in and help in any way possible. This blog is going to be a story of my journey in search of helping the world, finding my place, and being a part of that change.
My greatest hope is that God will work through me and allow me to see the possibilities of what can be.
