Be That Change


Tonight I made this poster because i have only been able to think about this quote for about 36 hours. It is constantly running through my mind. and i am seeing it everywhere. I remember the first time i ever saw it in my life. My junior year of high school i was sitting in my English class.... not paying attention... as always, and i saw this magnet on one of my teachers filing cabinets. For the rest of that class all i could think about were all of the crazy ideas i had on changing the world. I looked at that magnet everyday for about 4 and 1/2 months. I changed completely how i started looking at the world around me.
This year when i arrived at Railton i was walking through the hallway to get to the elevator and i was looking at all of the pictures and quotes on the wall. This quote by Gandhi happens to be in a place i pass everyday. Its amazing to me how those things work out.
This weekend I went to an young adult retreat in Pennsylvania. The whole week end focused on a verse in Micah that says to act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God. I think this verse so completely goes with the words that Gandhi spoke. The only way we will be able to make a change is if we are applying these 3 guidelines. I heard so many amazing stories this weekend about young people doing crazy awesome things. I heard of organizations making a huge difference I saw with my own eyes God showing the young people where he wanted them and what he wanted them to be doing. Calling out to them and providing opportunities to make a difference. I have a lot to think and pray about this week... and longer. I know God is calling me to do something that will change the world. Just asking Him what it is. I know it will be great.
What is God calling you to do? Has he placed a burning passion on your heart and you have been too afraid to take action? Please don't back down, God is right there waiting for you to step out and trust Him.
YOU CAN BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD!
