Inspiration

I am currently having on online discussion on facebook.  One of my youth started a facebook page for teens to discuss the drug problem in LaPorte- both talking about the problems and looking for solutions.  So far 44 people are discussing what they can do to help the problems here.  And, word is spreading!  Youth are taking something terrible- a teen dying from a heroin overdose- and taking action.  They could sit around and blame others.  But, instead they are looking at what they can do to change it so nobody else has to die. 
I am so proud to see that one of my youth is the one who started this page.  I can't take credit for her passion and dedication to changing the world.  But, I hope I had a part in encouraging her in some way.  And, I truly see God's hand at work in her as she continues to grow and share her commitment to helping others.  She has committed to posting once a day about some way we can all help change the world- whether it be environmental, emotional, or helping people in need.  I try to post a blog every day, but that doesn't always happen.  So, to see a high school senior who has posted every day since January 1st is remarkable to me.  And by looking at her page, it's obvious others are paying attention and being influenced by her.  Maybe we can't save everyone.  And, maybe the world will never be perfect.  But, with people like her in the world, I know it will continue to become a better place.
