Sometimes People Think You Are Crazy….

And theres nothing you can do about it. I’m starting to realize that in order to take chances you have to come to the conclusion that not everyone is on your same page. That doesn’t mean that they are negative or holding you back but you just don’t always get the desired answer or approval. What can you do about it? You just have to stick to what you believe in even if its not someone else’s cup of coffee.


I’ve brought up my idea of doing this AT journey to raise money to people and its funny how people have all wondered the same thing: how this is possible? I don’t really know. I just finished writing a letter to my church describing what I wish to happen out of this walk and seeking their help or at least their advice. By doing that I have kind of realized who I want to help out and why.

A lot of us grew up with a lot of opportunities that many people do not have. We consider a bad day when it took us 5 minutes extra to get home from work or when we realize that our favorite shirt has a hole in it. We take a lot of things for granted.

I think its very important to help kids…especially young looking for role models. What better way to shape a young kid then to show him by example how to follow their dreams, especially through church. I would love to raise money for disadvantaged children who don’t have all the same opportunities as we do.

Kids need positive role models who not only talk the talk but walk the walk. People who are positive and lead by example. My church built this multi million dollar camp for kids to attend during the summer but in order to maintain it it requires a lot of financial resources. I want to be able to raise money to send some kids there so that maybe they can grow up with purpose and guidance.

I really don’t know how or if anyone would help with this. I just know that if your passionate about something and care deeply enough you will find a way. Directly, this could really benefit a kid. Indirectly, this could really benefit anyone around these kids. I don’t know, I just feel that this could be a great opportunity for some children.

Again, I’m just thinking out loud.

Matthew 7:7-8 - Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.
