At the Risk of Sounding Selfish...

I want to make a difference

I want to change things
or something for someone

I want to give someone hope

I want to dry the orphan's tears

I want to show someone that there is more to life
more then what they know

I want to give more than I have
and more than I thought I could give

I want to not let money prevent me from following my dreams

I want to make the world different for my sisters

I want to have hope that tomorrow is better than today
and know it is possible

I want to jump out of an airplane
with a parachute

I want to wake up desiring to read my Bible
because most days I don't

I want to tell my story
so someone knows bad things can happen to good people
so someone knows their story can be different
so someone, somewhere can relate and know they can make it too

I want to defy the odds
and come out the winner

I want to change the statistics

I want to travel the world
to see that which is beautiful
to see that which is not beautiful
to see what others have forgotten
to what others refuse to see

I want to write
and not be afraid of people's reactions

I want to grow in more ways then I thought possible

I want community to not be another Christian word
but a reality

I want to look back on my life and know I did all that I could do

I want to truly live
but most of all, above all else, I want to love
