"No, life cannot be understood flat on a page. It has to be lived; a person has to get out of his head, has to fall in love, has to memorize poems, has to jump off bridges into rivers, has to stand in an empty desert and whisper sonnets under his breath... We get one story, you and I, and one story alone. God has established the elements, the setting and the climax and resolution. It would be a crime not to venture out, wouldn't it?"

--Donald Miller

Today

Wednesday, September 29, 2010

Today there is hope
Hope for young girls as we spoke of what makes us angry, resolving to end sex trafficking.

Today there is love
Love for what was once a hostile enemy is now becoming an accomplice

Today there is joy
Joy as friends laughed with each other and enjoyed being together, no matter how awkward the situation.

Today there is peace
Peace as I read a marvelous book in my favorite place at school, the Reading Room in the School of Religion for over two hours

Today was fantastic.

But tomorrow I shall change the world


Seriously though, next week I get an awesome opportunity to camp out for the night in downtown Chattanooga to bring awareness to the homeless situation by building a box city. I have never been so excited to freeze my buns off!

And I thought yesterday was awesome for doing Justin Bieber quizzes with 5th grade girls.
