As humans, it is natural for us to try to plan our whole life out, but that's not our job. At my age, there is a lot of stress to decide what college you want to go to and what you want to do with your life, but I quit. I was stressing so much over my futer 

Please don't skip over the video above. I know, you want a fast, easy to read post, but please, if you didn't watch the video, go do it. It's okay, I'll wait.

Ok, done? Good.

I showed you that video to show you how valuable you are. God, the Creator of the universe, the Writer of history, the Lighter of stars and Sun, formed YOUR heart with his own love coated hands. 

Yes. This post is a salad. It is an internet bowl full of a wide variety of subjects. Please do try to keep up. :p

Firstly, I want to know what kind of things you want to hear about (withing the bounds of the general "genre" of this blog, obviously.)  I want to know what you think about what I have so far; don't be afraid to leave a comment! I want to hear from you!

Secondly, thanks so much to the people who are supporting me on Facebook! I officially have 100 likes!

Thirdly, (is that even actually a word...? It is; I just looked it up. Good to know I'm not making words up) I want to tell you more about what this project is actually about. I want people to stop living static lives. I want people to let God breathe life into their dead bones. I want people to be so filled with joy and love and laughter they are just bubbling over with it.  I want them to look like this:

Or this:

So I leave card everywhere I go that I hand write and fill with words of hope and joy. Here is an example, sent to my by one of my Facebook followers:

 I also do things I find on https://www.dosomething.org/. I am currently signed up for making booklets for kids in the hospital and spoofing adds that disrespect women.  Check the site out to see what you can do to make the world suck less!

Thanks so much for your support, guys! Keep being amazing! 

Here are the lyrics to one of my favorite songs ever:

One More by Superchick:

It feels like I have lost this fight
They think that I am staying down
But I'm not giving up tonight
Tonight the wall is coming down
I am stronger than my fears
This is the mountain that I climb
Got 100 steps to go
Tonight I'll make it 99

One more
Go one more
Yeah, yeah
Don't stop now
Go one more
Yeah, yeah
One more

Go one more
Go one more
Yeah, yeah

I have everything to lose
By not getting up to fight
I might get used to giving up
So I am showing up tonight
I am my own enemy
The battle fought within my mind
If I can overcome step one
I can face the 99


These  words remind me to get up at a decent time, to not cheat while playing Wii fit so I actually get the benefits, to wash that one more dish that somehow escaped my thorough search before I let the dishwater out of the sink. They remind me that the first step is the hardest. That I can always "go one more." They inspire me to never quit, because God will always give me the strength to take one more step on His path for me. I hope they do the same for you! 

I love this picture. I love it because it makes me realize that changing the world is a chain reaction. If you believe there is good in the world, then you will be inspired to be the good. By being the good you show others that there is good. See? That is how you really change the world. You don't have to be famous, you just have to be willing! Here is a list of simple things YOU can do to change the world around you:

• Open doors for people. Something as simple as this can be a huge help, especially to mothers or people who have their hands full!
• Say  "Hello." Saying "Hello" to people makes them feel important, which they are!
• Write people cards. Write cards for your family, your elderly neighbors, the pregnant lady down the street, or even the employees at Wendy's!

Use these ideas, or come up with your own! Let me know in the comments how you are LIVING!

Hello! I just wanted to take a few moments to say that you are quite an amazing person. You have a spark in you that no one can put out, and God put it in you for a reason. This site is all about keeping that spark going, keeping your soul alive, because you may have noticed that most souls today are dead. You have breath, your heart is beating. You are alive, so live!
