The Great Awakening was the name given to a giant religious revival in the 1600s. While you may not be looking to be awakened in that sense, I do hope I can awaken you to different things I find inspiring, or just what's on my mind on a certain day.

Dreamers
A song lyric popped into my head just now. "Godspeed, dreamers. You're the best of us." Kind of a true statement when you think about it. Where would we be as a world without dreamers? I consider myself a dreamer. I have so many things I want to achieve, places I want to go. It's what drives me. Sometimes I see people my age and I can't believe how they act. They don't know what they want to do with their lives. They are just wasting away, not even trying to change. I want to ask them, What are your dreams? Don't you have something to hold on to? That one thing that you would give anything to accomplish? Don't just sit there! Pursue it! Do not live in vain! Break the cycle! It hurts me to know that some people will never chase their dreams. Some people may not even have any. They don't think they can reach them. I want to reach mine. None of us want to feel like our lives never amounted to anything. But in God's eyes, our lives are worth more than gold. Everyone's life is a story. He cherishes our triumphs, is sad along with us during our downfalls, and through it all loves us in a way we will never fully understand. I'm amazed every day how much God loves me. It fills me with so much joy knowing that he's with me all the time. I know that I'll be able to reach my dreams with Him by my side.

And this is the very lie that poverty tells to those kids we met in Ecuador: "you are nothing, you can do nothing, don't you dare dream." Well that's a lie from the pit of hell. What do you say we make part of our dream to give them dreams? Are you in?
