Each one of us has a fire in our heart for something. It's our goal in life to find it and to keep it lit. - Mary Lou Retton
I want to serve those with less than me. I want to make the difference in the lives of people, adults and children alike.
"In all things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’” {Acts 20:35}
One person can make a difference. One person can save a life. One person can lead another person to Christ.
but 2 people, or 3 people, or 300 people...
can completely rock this world with the good we can do.
The key to getting the people needed to change the world like that?
advocate.
Quite possibly my favorite word.
An advocate doesn't just help the helpless; they speak out for the helpless, and encourage others to help too.
In other words, instead of just talking the talk about the good they are doing, they actually walk the walk.
They spread the word to multiply the good.
There is strength in numbers.
Advocate your cause. Show people how to change the world. Have faith.
“How wonderful that no one needs to wait a single moment to improve the world.” - Anne Frank
Big things happen when we dare to step out of our comfort zones and do what needs to be done.
If your worried that you aren't big enough, or that your little group of people isn't big enough to change the world... stop. If you are doing good and changing the world, whether that be for 1 or 1,000, never give up.
You will change the world. God will multiply your seed of change amongst many, many people. Stay strong, do everything you can to advocate your cause, and trust that He'll make all the rest happen. He's got this.
"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” {Joshua 1:9}
She deserves an amazing life and a family to love her.
She deserves to be surrounded by pretty, ribbon-clad boxes with gifts just for her on Christmas, not sitting in a lonely crib in Eastern Europe.
She is the face of change. Will you help me make this happen?
If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap.If you want happiness for a day, go fishing.If you want happiness for a year, inherit a fortune.If you want happiness for a lifetime, help somebody.- Chinese proverb
Blessings!

As I was reading this post, all I kep thinking was Yes! You have very similar ideas to me and I am looking to start a ministry specifically called Spark Inside. All about having faith to step out in Christ. Would love to chat more with you about it?
