"Even the things/issues that seem utterly insignificant can mean the world to a young person; it's amazing how what is important to a youth  can make them someone great or break them.

Do Something

if you have ever read my blog, well, if you have read it even a couple of times, you probably know that i do not have a television that gets stations that i can watch things on, like the news. this being the case i miss a lot of the global, national, and even local tragedy in the world. i know very little of people in other states going through hardships, getting, beaten, being stole from, or living on the streets- in fact i can hardly think of anyone that i don't know that is going through those circumstances.

i do, however, know several people who are going through these issues, personally.
i know the kid whose iphone was stolen.
i know the girl who is living with a guy she doesn't want to be with so she has a place to stay.
i know the 19 year old whose only friends are the old guys at the homeless shelter, the only guys he can relate to.
i know the kids who at age 9 and 11 are out until 9pm at night because no one cares where they are at.
i know the girl who sold her body to afford rent so she wouldn't lose her kids.
i know the kid whose friend was run over- i guess that was on the news.
i know the people who go up to random strangers and knock them out for no reason.
i know the girl who dances at night to pay for drugs, but works at Tim Horton's during the day.
i know the guy who only wakes up because he can not get high while sleeping.
i know a lot of kids with marked up arms, stds, and drug histories because there was no one they could trust when they needed it the most.

because i know them i know that if anything good happens in this world it is because of Jesus. but i know evil. i know there is good and bad; and i know that god values every one of these people and gave his life to save them, for it isn't is will that any single one should be lost. as his son his will is mine and i will do something to bring good to those who are surrounded by evil. i am no one special as a human; we are the same. i know that you and i can do something.

(if you pray specifically, pray for the people mentioned above they are real people)
