I'm a strong believer in everything happening for a reason and God having a plan for each of us. The only thing is having to figure out what the plan is can be really hard. Can be is actually putting it nicely; it IS hard. That just means we have to look deeper within our faith and ourselves for the answer. Before I continue, though, I have to confess that I haven't attended church continuously since I was in 4th grade, I've never read the Bible, and I probably can't name many of the stories that everyone knows from the Bible but that doesn't make me any less religious than the next Christian who does all that. I went to youth group as much as I could in high school because I found a youth leader/group that didn't make me feel stupid or like an outsider because I didn't know any of that, I went to morning Bible studies with my English teacher before school, and more importantly, I believe God and look to him for help/answers. God has a plan for everyone whether they believe in him or not, whether they go to church or just to youth group, and whether they are straight or homosexual. The only difference in the plan during your life is whether you try to fulfill it or not. This all being said, I think I have figured out what he wants me to do. Lately I've been around a lot of people that feel the need to tell me anything and everything wrong with them even if I don't know them. I've heard of so many things thing peoples lives because of the choices the people around them make (like the effects of bullying) on the news, in magazines, and from my sisters. I've heard it all. I'm not quite sure what it is about me that gives people the feeling if being so comfortable around me that they tell me all these things but I think its part of the plan. What exactly is my plan within all this? Well, the more of these problems that I hear repeating, the more I feel the need to take a stand and do something for not only them but the entire world. I feel as though I'm here on earth to defend those that are too weak to defend themselves. I'm not sure where exactly I should start but I am a HUGE supporter of the Make-A-Wish foundationand its always been my dream (even before my uncle died of cancer) to work with them as much ad possible. Also, with all of the bullying going on that is making teenage girls kill themselves, I want to help all of the organizations against bullying go on a more personal level with teens to stop it from getting worse. I want to go to schools and show them the effects of bullying in the realest ways possible so that it will scare them into seeing how wrong it is. These days adults are too nice with this stuff and don't go into detail enough for kids to see how it really affects others. "Don't bully anyone"- yeah, that'll really teach them. My plan, I think, is to help people through organizations like those that stop the harsh, unnecessary evils of the world and like the others that help the sick.
I've always planned on being a registered-nurse specializing in oncology (cancer) but not I don't want to do only that, I want to travel around the WORLD taking a stand for people who wont stand for themselves. Not just for the sick and bullied but for every other person such ad homosexuals, different races, the red cross, homeless, salvation army and everything in between. This, to me, is my plan. However, if I am wrong then atleast ill be making as much of a difference as I can on my way to figuring out what my true plan is.
Now, where to start and how?
