I Survived Revolve OH EIGHT!

Revolve Tour OH EIGHT! What a weekend of madness, craziness, and world changing words. For those who don't know, Revolve is a conference for ALL GIRLS; no boys allowed on this one! Unless you're a leader, then I suppose you are welcome among us. And if you are Hawk Nelson! My ears are still not working properly from all of the 10,000 girls who screamed so much; plus my throat is still a bit sore from screaming my own head off! A sore throat can be an amazing thing, if it was recieved at an event such as this.

Unfortunately, I wasn't around much to listen to Chad Eastham speak, but what he said was still amazing. Guys Like Girls Who... (are born!) Woohoo! That's all I got from him.

One thing I want to bring up that had been said SOOOOOooooooOOOOOOooooooOOOOO much in the program was this: you are a world changer. It IS possible to change the world, whether it be to one person, or many, or a whole neighborhood, or a country! It is possible. Just check out what this guy, Austin, did. He is, I swear, not even old enough to shave yet, and he has built a school for kids in a third world country. How did he do it? Hoops of Hope. Check out the website: www.hoopsofhope.org.
Another way you can be a world changer: sponsoring a child through World Vision. I plan to do this sometime soon, probably when I cash my check from work. For $30 a month, you can sponsor a child in an impoverished country, such as Ethiopia, El Salvador, many countries in Africa, and so many more to choose from. You learn about the child you are sponsoring and get to write them letters, send them gifts and such, and just be there for them in their life, a little like you adopted him or her. I will keep everyone posted about that when the time comes. You can do this at www.worldvision.org.
At Revolve, there was a little competition with the city who sponsored the most children from World Vision, which was Sacramento. They sponsored about 198 children. Well.... Philadelphia sponsored............................................................................(awaiting drumroll)..................................... 384 children! Go Philly! That's more than my graduating class!
So, when someone tells you that you cannot change the world by yourself, you tell them, "Psh! Whatever!" God will do great things in your life. Don't you forget it!
