Times Aren't the Only Things Changing

As an almost high school graduate, I feel like this summer is the perfect time to make some much needed life changes.  I don't want to compromise who I am and what I believe, but I really think this is the time to discover more about me.  In a few months I'll be heading off to a new place full of new people and have so many new options in my life.  I don't want to show up for all that and not even be totally sure about myself, you know?

I have two and a half months to figure out just who I am, exactly what I believe, and what God has in store for me.  That's so much time, I just have to be open to using it.  I can't waste my days sitting at home watching TV or surfing the web.  I need to be out exploring and seeing people and cherishing the time I have.  For all I know, my time could end tonight or tomorrow morning or next week or a month from now.  I can't spend my time waiting for something to happen when I have the ability to do it myself!

I need help though.  I can't be everywhere doing everything all at the same time.  I need other people who want to make a difference too.  I want to use this summer to impact someone else's life.  I want to make the community I live in a little bit better place.  If you have any ideas how I can do this, share them with me! I have the drive and the motivation, but I still need the means.  I hope that I can gather up some support around the country and who knows, maybe even around the world! I've always been told one person can change the world.  If that's true, how much can a lot of people do if they believe?

I'm praying that God shows me what His will is for me to do here in my hometown.  But I'm also praying for anyone who may read this.  I don't know what you're going through and I don't know what desires you have.  I do know that God has an amazing, powerful, worthwhile plan that can come about if we just follow Him.  The most I can do is try. Who's with me?
