So, I was on Facebook tonight, and noticed one of my friends saying that she was going to make her roadie video, then it got me thinking, "hmmm... is the roadie application up now?"
I checked and there it was. I was the roadie video, and read the testimonies... well let's just say something kicked in. I was getting goosebumps, and my heart was racing just thinking about the possibility of being apart of such an awesome organization and going around the country spreading this passion like wild fire.
Just being apart of organizing the Rescue in Kansas City, and doing lobby days. Seeing all those people with the same passion just gets me going. I mean come on! LIVEFEED, the birth of the swap doodle (by the way I got my first doodle back!), Oprah, the bill, OklaHOLD OUT, Couburn saying yes, passing through Senate with UNANIMOUS CONSENT! So much has happened, my life has changed because of Invisible Children. I can speak in front of crowds because of Invisible Children, because before I was have a hard time just reading one verse in front of the youth group, now I can speak in front of high school classes and speak for almost one-half hour on the subject.
If it wasn't for Invisible Children, I think I would still be ignoring God's call for me to be a missionary or working with non profits such as Invisible Children, World Vision, or TOMS. Oh man, I would still be in culinary with no time for what my heart is in, volunteering and giving up my time for a better purpose.
As I go through the application process, I ask that you would pray for me, that I make the right decision and follow God's heart, rather than my own heart. And that I would continue to trust in God, that he will provide a way for me to afford this.
Your little activist,
Laura
