“Change will not come
if we wait for some other person or if we wait for some other time. We are the
ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.” – Barack Obama
It was a blur to me at first and my decision to join and
stand up for this cause was not that strong. I almost backed out because I feel
like I don’t need this and that these people can do it by themselves. But when
I prayed really hard, asked God to give me the wisdom in making decisions,
really took the time to listen to Him, my eyes were opened to the real reason
why He wants me to stay – it’s because I am part of the change that He has been
planning. I needed to step out of my comfort zone and experience so many
changes to be able to realize that I do not need to live the kind of life I
used to have just to keep me satisfied – that true happiness comes from knowing
that what you are doing is creating an impact and that you have, genuinely,
touched lives and inspired people.
