You CAN Make a Difference!!

       In the last couple years, I have figured out something about myself (well actually a lot of things, but here's 1) - I like to make a difference in everything I do (I know I'm not the only one). I know this is kinda funny, but I much rather clean or organize something that looks like it just got hit by a tornado, then something that is already pretty clean. I was in a carwash fundraiser for youth camp last year, and I had waaaay more fun cleaning a really dirty car, then a clean car. I think this is also why I love to paint. I believe we are all in this world to make a difference for God. Even for me, being a teenager, I can still make a difference - anyone can. Whether you are organizing the gear room at church (I've done it, and had lots of fun, considering I DO like to make a difference. haha.), or you are ending world hunger, it is still some sort of difference. And let me tell you, you can't usually go right to the big stuff - God will want to make sure he can trust you with the small stuff first (cleaning your room, leading something small, etc.). I know God is calling me to make a difference in my family, friends, church, and eventually the world. Always keep in mind that just a simple smile or text can make a difference in someone's life. Changing the world starts with little stuff. Get the small (but sometimes hard) stuff down, and then be ready for big opportunities from God!! Always be on the lookout for things you can do...and BE CREATIVE!!
