I am about 30 minutes into my 16th birthday.

I just can’t help myself but to wonder what it is that’s in store for me beyond this.. beyond this moment, beyond this point, beyond this sturggle, beyond this blink of an eye.

I don’t want to miss my chance to make a difference in someone’s life. I want to push past and break through the walls that I put over myself and the walls that I let define me. I want to push through the things that I struggle with so that I can help people who need it. The people who are so lost, and drowning. I’m so tired of waiting for someone to make the first move, I want to be the person that makes the first move. I want to be a leader, but at times I want to be a great follower. I was recently told that “you can only be a good leader if you were at one point a good follower.” I want to listen to God and let his beautiful, gentle, whispering voice tickle at my spirit and move me to mountain tops. I want to achieve so much yet I know nothing extraordinary will happen without God.. and even if good things do happen without God, he always has something better.

I want to fight, live and stand for something that is of worth because I know that if you don’t stand for something then you’ll fall for anything.
