Who Should I Be??
Published on May 24, 2004 By Ashlee Ryder In Religion
I stand alone on my own two feet. I am everything that I need to be. I am trying to be, everything that God needs me to be. And so, if that means that i have to forget about my so called "Friends" because they don't want to have anything to do with me because of my point of view, then so be it, I am a one girl revolution. I can make a change that will be seen around the world. I'm cocky, but its a good cocky. . . cause if I wasn't this cocky, I probably wouldn't be where I am today. . . I have written two books, and I have 3 more already started. I have gotten so far in my career, by doing so little. But a little bit of energy, and a little bit of love, can go a long way. I have always wanted to go to a foreign underpriveleged country to help the children. I haven't done it yet, but i keep telling myself that just one more paycheck, and then i think, Ashlee. . . What are you doing?!? Because if i could just affect one child's life, then i could have made a world of differences. And I know I sound as though I'm just talking, but if you really think about it. . . God could take that child, and make an awesome missionary or that child could do something in return for someone else, and that person for someone else, and so on and so on. . . It frustrates me so badly, to see innocent children suffering for their parents mistakes. There are so many children here in the U.S. that won't eat their supper, because its not McDonald's, when there are children in Haiti, or maybe someone in your own neighborhood, who don't have any food. Teach your children to give. Because, you could have a one girl/boy revolution living in your home with you. You could be the parent of a child who could change the world by his/her actions and words. It makes perfect sense to me. Does it make sense to you? Leave me some comments. . . I love feed back!!

By The Way, sorry I haven't written in so long, but my computer has been down, don't worry I still love my readers and I'm not leaving my post anytime soon.

Follow your heart, girl. Take it from somebody who should have. Read some of my stuff, I like feedback too!

For so long I have believed the same thing about myself, that i would leave this place of privilege and go to some Central American nation to fight the good fight, a fight without guns and artillery, with hands and words and work and kind gestures.

I still haven't left yet, too entangled in my own personal mess, too poor to help those who are poorer (i think that this could be a convenient excuse). too scattered over too broad an internal landscape to focus on that one thing.

Unfortunately, I do not have your religious faith to carry me through. I have to create my own meaning. It could be the lack of this basic fuel that keeps me stagnate.

I think i might be reading too much Voltaire - i think too often that we do not live in the best of all possible worlds.

"I haven't done it yet, but i keep telling myself that just one more paycheck, and then i think, Ashlee. . . What are you doing?!? "

God knows what you're doing. He's placed a desire in your heart to change lives. Be a one girl revolution. Remember that you can't do it alone and that you need Him. Sign up for a missions trip after you've prayed about it and feel the Lord truly leading you. God has promised to provide. If you're in His will etc, trust Him to provide the money, and He will. Even if you see no money in your future, don't let that be an obstacle.

You sound like an awesome girl, and God will help you change lives!

You actually brought tears to my eyes...I hope so much for my child to be a one boy revolution. People need to care cause no one will do it for you except yourself.
