what am i going to do with the money from my birthday? think....think think think. every time i get money i try to maximize it. how will it do the greatest good?

things to give up:
+chipotle
+any form of clothes shopping. not even shoes or "accessories."
+wasting time. time = money
+not finishing songs.............

please support me by praying for me. i don't want to give up, i don't want to lose sight of my goals. i have a passion for music and a passion for social justice. i see these things--international justice mission, invisible children, hotel rwanda; i read the news, i see it on T.V. I see people suffering every day, and I see the good I can do--the good all of us can do. we're so fortunate. we have no idea how blessed we are to be healthy, to have a place to sleep, food to eat, to live in relative safety, to have families, schools, to not have to worry about survival the way so many people do. we are the minority, and we have so much more than the majority does. combined. how does that make sense? what can we do to help? i don't want to see something that will make me cry, then forget about it. i never want to forget! i want to MAKE A CHANGE, and i believe i can do it. but only if i keep my focus. only if i have support, which i desperately need. it's too easy to just leave it up to "someone else" to help these people. too easy to get entrenched in your own problems, to get caught up in your own little world. i don't want to do that, so please pray that God will keep providing me with strength, with faith, with love, with both passion and endurance. and, of course, effectiveness.

the main thing i need you guys to pray for right now is the MUSE concert. Pray that we'll be able to use the NHS Theater, and pray that we'll be able to publicize it as much as they publicize dances, and that the performers will be awesome and the audience will be huge. pray that i don't get burned out and overwhelmed. and just pray for God's blessing on everyone who is going to get involved in making the MUSE concert happen.

then go visit www.invisiblechildren.com
i'm going to buy the DVD as soon as possible and have a little "house party," so if you want to come, you're all invited. i want to show a lot of MUSE people, too, since the concert is going to benefit that organization. that's it, i guess. i felt compelled to do something. and hopefully i will continue to do stuff.
