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.
