Changing the world.

Couple thoughts for today's blog. For starters this weekend at church was awesome. After service they opened it up to Baptism and I don't even know how many people did it. I stayed for as long as I possibly could (I had to go to work), because as a member of the body of Christ i knew I should witness this event. It was so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes. I love when beautiful things move my heart and soul.

Second as I near graduation I remember how excited everyone was freshman year to change the world. It's so strange to see how far off many of us are. This last week my church hosted a huge youth conference and ever since then my facebook has been hit up with a thousand status updates that say something along the lines of "WE ARE GOING TO CHANGE THE WORLD." I hope they do. I would really like to see how many really work towards changing the world for the better. I'm happy to hear about all my friends moving abroad post graduation to work for non-profits and missions (or in Kristins case working for Obama), and I can't help but be so jealous. I wish God had called me to live abroad...but my place is here, so from here I will take a job at a huge I.O. and do my best to support everyone abroad. Fear, jealousy, anticipation...what will life bring us?
What will we do with the gifts and plans God has for us? Take a step forward. do.it.
