Let's make a difference.

People are just so great. I can't get over it. Each person is made differently, so unique, it's beyond beautiful. There is a story behind each and every person, a story that we are all still walking through. We are all human. We all make mistakes. Mistakes are what we can grow from; a mistake does not define someone. We are called to love one another the way Christ loves us. and He loves us beyond what we can even imagine. He loves every flaw, every feature, and most importantly- everything that we don't like about ourselves. God is full of love. and we should be too

I want to be full of love, in every circumstance. I want to love others even if that means they won't love me back. I want to see others being touched by REAL love. I want to see RADICAL change in my community, and in my city. We are called to love everyone, and that means everyone. Wouldnt it be too easy to only love the people that loved us first? What love really means is to love someone wholeheartedly and take the risk that they might not love you back. Jesus did this. Jesus loved people who cursed Him, hated him, and He loved the people that killed Him. His heart was so pure, so pure for The Lord.

God's love touches people in such a HUGE and drastic way. and we may not even realize it. A simple encouraging word for someone, buying someone's coffee, helping a lady with her groceries across the street, giving a homeless man some change, and just listening to how someone's day can truly radiate the love someone may desperately need deep down. Showing love is simple. It is kind, and pure. Jesus didn't separate himself from the sinners, He bent down to their level and became friends with them. Can you believe that he actually just immersed himself into sin only to be the light in the darkness? JESUS is radical. He has called us to live a radical life and that means we have to step out of our box. out of our comfort zone, and live everyday expecting to touch the lives of many. We need a passion to love others to truly change our community. I believe that we are here to make a difference in the lives of many. How can you make a difference in someone's life if you won't step out of your own comfort zone? Lets be the change in this world that is very much needed. Talk to people, get to know them, and make an impact.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
