There is so much going on this year, from being "President" of Invisible Children Club at school, possibly going to Swaziland, Africa, becoming an Invisible Children Roadie, and possibly going to Nicaragua.
All of these events and yet it costs a lot of money, a lot.
I guess it's going back to all previous events such as El Salvador, Camp Mah-Kee-Nac, and Lobby Days. Trusting that God will have my back, trusting that He knows what's best for my life, trusting that He will provide when I don't think it will ever happen.
Before I enjoyed depending on Him, but now... now I am a little overwhelmed with all of this.
Don't get me wrong, I would love to go to Swaziland and then come back and tell the stories of the children I met, and the beautiful people I got to meet, even the beautiful ones with aids.
My heart has definitely goes out to the children of this world. They are so beautiful and I believe that they can create beautiful artwork. That's probably why God put this vision in my heart. To bring art to the children of the world and bring their works, pictures, and stories to the rest the world, the world who seems to ignore these third world countries and their lifestyles and think only of themselves. Oh, wait, they think of these third world countries when something like an earthquake hits Haiti. Don't get me wrong, I love seeing people getting together to helping these beautiful people, but honestly I wished I saw more of it that just the few times a natural disaster happens.
I, like I said earlier, am the new "president" of Invisible Children Club this semester at JCCC. I am looking forward to spreading the news of this atrocity in eastern Africa and northern Uganda. And all the good going on right now with the bill in Congress. Raising money for an amazing cause. Hopefully booking a screening for JCCC and getting people to actually show up. I mean honestly Tye and Pepito are going to be there, you know, from the "GO" documentary. I mean if all else fails then I am willing to post up posters telling people about the screening at my church. I am really hoping that the screening at the church will go well, and I hope that it won't just be a youth thing, I pray that the entire church will come out and listen to what is going over there and to what is said.
I am really, definitely passionate about Invisible Children, the Children being abducted, and hiding from the LRA. I am still wanting to be a Roadie for Invisible Children, hopefully in the fall. I have many ideas in my head for the video application, and am really hoping that it will turn out awesome. But when I do this, I know that this will be one of the greatest experiences of my life. Traveling the country telling everyone about this atrocity going on in Eastern Africa and Northern Uganda, and telling them how they can help and be apart of this amazing organization. This is something I have wanted to do for a while and I really hope that this is my chance. How amazing to see passions spark and grow as we travel state to state, city to city, school to school. Amazing.
Then Nicaragua is in the winter, and I would love to go, but it's like a two week span between I get back from being a Roadie to this mission trip. Don't get me wrong, would love to travel so much this year, but it's all up to God whether He wants me to do this or not.
I just pray that I will be able to stay with my studies at school and yet still raise funds for everything. BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY stay with GOD, cause if I don't stay close then I won't know for sure that HE wants me to do or not.
Thanks for any prayers you have done and will continue to do.
