"One of the things I really loved about Martin Luther King, Jr. was his belief that another world was possible."
— Rob Morris, Love146 President & Co-Founder
Another world is possible! Another world is possible… What kind of world? Another.
What a statement! In a world that King, Jr. had to watch the struggles of his people, the persecution, etc. he believed another world was available and he sought to make this world possible! And to this day, people see him as someone who believed.
What kind of world do we believe is possible?
-Ending poverty by 2020(or by some 2015)
-Providing Drinking water to all nations
-Ending homelessness in America by 2020
Whatever it is, people have these visions of another world without…insert vision here. However, many of this people get mocked or laughed at for thinking their dream can come true. Why is that? Why does one world mock someone in that world for thinking of a brighter future?!
Perhaps it is because that dream may seem too big. May I say that the best dreams are the ones too big to truly grasp? May I say that the best visions are those that perhaps could fail, but don’t?! That God has given us all a plan for the future, an opportunity for a better world, another world.
Before we get all bent out of shape over someone’s dream, let’s remember that at one point, we believed EVERYTHING/ANYTHING was possible through Christ. When did we lose this mentality? When did we start doubting the power of God?
Matthew 19:26:
But Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
All things are possible.
What's your vision or dream?

It's Been A While
The other day, I came to the sad realization that it had been awhile since I sat down and just thought. School has gotten in the way as well as life. So to apologize for my lack of care, I decided it was time.
Time to sit down and write about a couple of things.
To let everyone walk life with me, and understand the struggles I continue to go through. Many of you remain unknowing, others of you realize the struggle.
Here in college it is so hard to focus on outreach, on ministry. School needs you to do this or that-there is never that moment to take a break. My struggle, the desire to remain in God's will and understand that my place is here. Unfortunately, that is hard to understand right now. I want to be out helping others. Yet, my place is here. The training period is here. My daily life is my ministry. And it is so hard at times to remain focused on where God has placed me.In declaring this,
I hope it will help me understand this more and more.
Your ministry is where you are. But at times it can get a little discouraging when that is not your end goal. People say its training BUT does that make it any less difficult? NO. But for now, the desperate heart of mine will wait and pray.

Which Bible Verse Prompts and Guides You to Serve Others?
A lot of the time, poverty is something that many simply look in the face, yet never do anything about it. Many feel unable to do what they truly think they should do and so they refuse all aid. Perhaps its something personal either way it's hinder your ability to serve others. When I come face to face with this situation when I think that I can not make the impact I think is required. I turn to the Word. The Bible is filled with people who felt inadequate for the job God called them to do. One of my favorites though is Jeremiah's Call. After reassuring Jeremiah of God's love and knowledge He reassures Jeremiah that He will give him the words, just step out.
When I am asked to speak about missions I love using these verses (5-10) because of their ability to first, reassure oneself that God knows what He's doing, and second, God has called us all to make a different regardless of our excuses. But first, God has this amazing ability to reassure one to keep trusting and to keep walking and to see the amazing things God can do. Lastly, regardless of our many excuses God can use us all. No speech impediment, shyness, or inability to connect well with people can stop one.
One of my missions has been to reach out to kids in poverty. After looking into a great organization Compassion International I realized that I was simply not able financially because I had to pay for college to support a child. But God had given me this passion and desire, and now, I blog for compassion, doing something that I have never been very good at. Writing and expressing feelings. However, God knows what He is doing which is a great thing to know. The ability to be able to spread the news about what Compassion is doing for kids is amazing and I am always so excited to see what God has for this organization in the future.
