1:17

"Learn to do right! Seek justice, encourage the oppressed. Defend the cause of the fatherless, plead the case of the widow." Isaiah 1:17

I have not always been a person that wanted to stand up for Injustice in the world. In fact most of my high school career was spent bring down injustice on the helpless. I never thought that I would be a Youth Worker or a even would do much of anything. I was a pot head and what not. But then i became a believer and my whole life changed.

Now that I am a Youth Worker I see myself as a advocate of some kind. I do not just like to sit around. All though sometimes I am very guilty of not doing what I should do. I like to try and take a stand for stuff I believe in. I want so much to be this advocate that I know God has planned for me. I am just very guilty of doubt, doubt that i can do it.

I do know this I know that my heart aches when I see a kid with no food! When I see a picture of a child solider. When I here the cries of a child who's mom is a drunk and her dad is locked up in jail for selling drugs. I do not like to see kids having to sling drugs because thats all they know. I think that is crap. I think that we as a body of Christ need to truly take a bigger stand that what we have been in past years.

I know I want to step up and step out more I just do not want to fail. I know that God has my back now and I am going to try harder and harder to actually do this!
