so. there are so many things I could get involved in... so many great organizations that I believe are doing amazing things. like International Justice Mission, Invisible Children, To Write Love On Her Arms just to name a very very select few... but where does God want me to serve?? ahh!
here's what I wrote in my Flickr description from this...
International Justice Mission
I guess this is the most "applicable" since today is Human Trafficking Awareness Day. These people are working to bring justice to and rescue those in slavery all over the world, but especially those in countries whose laws may not sufficiently protect them. I'm currently looking into getting involved on my own college campus, but they are doing some really cool stuff. Especially with Passion 2012 focusing on donating to/raising awareness for/serving the 27 million slaves worldwide, I feel like this is a problem that God is going to be working in this year. I'm super excited to see what comes of this...

Invisible Children
They are working through creativity, film, and direct action to end the use of child soldiers and bring peace and prosperity to Uganda. I had never heard of the war fought in Uganda before I heard about this organization... In our world, it is so easy for us to be ignorant about the horrible things happening in this world, slavery being one of them. There are more slaves now than ever before, yet so many of us are unaware of what's going on.

To Write Love On Her Arms
This organization is fighting to let our generation know for SURE that we are loved. That we matter. That there is a reason to hope and to love.

I've emailed a few people about the IJM chapter on campus and I'm looking forward to getting involved. But what else can I do? I find it really difficult to donate money since it's basically my parents'; I don't feel like it's mine to give away. I've never been a good "leader" and am too nervous to plan anything on my own. WHAT TO DO.
I guess it's praying time.
And then stepping-out-in-faith time.
AHH.
