Red Light Green Light

In our everyday life we drive our cars and our stopped by traffic lights. and sometimes during our day we hit those red lights when were really busy or in a hurry and aren't quite sure why we hit that red light. Now what if we compared our life with stop lights. Like every time we hit a problem or something we dont agree with  a red light if you will. What if it was for a reason. A reason being you were meant to go another direction or wait a little longer to make sure the choices you are making are clear or just so your not hurt by the thing that is coming up? When we hit red lights in life they last for a little while but you know what  a green always follows, Always. and when we try and cut corners and speed threw those red lights there is always a consequence. The consequence is never worth it.  So the next time your stuck at that red light,  what if it is for a reason? A good reason. Because dont forget the Green light always comes after the red.

Invisible Children Update

So I suppose it is about that time where I tell the world about me and  invisible children. I have NOT been accepted to be a roadie for fall 2011. MY story although does not start with rejection instead its starts with a new outlook on life. A couple of weeks ago I started thinking about me leaving for 5 months to fight for kids who can not fight for themselves. But then I was thinking about all the things that I would be leaving at home behind. Family, school, opportunities, to help people here and I started weighing  the options. Every time I did this I realized I was meant to be at home. Now this was already my choice before I knew if I had been accepted or not. I started putting new things in perspective instead of just my wants. I know now I am meant to be at home and make things right and I will. I also found I can make a huge difference  right here from home we all can in fact. The moral of this story is when things don't seem to workout that there is another plan for you. Even when what you want seems so right sometimes its not and the things you never thought were meant for you are truly for you. Never loose hope and always keep growing. And if your thinking that this is the end for me helping people this is only the beginning. I will not stop until i have helped everyone I possibly can!
