..... Just throwing this out there..... Random story, but yesterday I had one of my last finals in my Photography Program and Bruce (one of my classmates) asked me what I really want to do with my photography, and I blankely stated, "I don't know. I really love people, and I really love traveling and I really want to do good things for the world. I want to change the world, and maybe someday I'd love to do some documentary work in Africa with Invisible Children or (red) . More than anything, I'd love to do something to truly use my gifts for the betterment of other people." Then, last night, I checked the Invisible Children website and this *see above* was posted for this fall. An intern position is available for photojournalism. How cool is that?? I don't like to jump to conclusions or get all spiritual, but I don't believe it was just a "coincidence", I believe everything happens for a reason and God gives you passions in places for amazing reasons as well. Ever since I was a little girl, I have had a heart for Africa. I have never been before, but I have always wanted to GO and DO GOOD things FOR OTHER PEOPLE. This is what life is about. Effecting other people with the love and compassion of Chirst. Truly delving deep into their world and changing it from the inside out. Shoot.... I'm gonna start preaching now. I think I'd really like to do this. Just pray for me if you get a chance. I think this would be an amazing way to grow personally, spiritually and emotionally for the other Nations and other people out there.
