Take the step.

I have an answer.

All those tears that were welled up inside of me yesterday, and I didn't know where they were coming from, or what they'd be for, I finally know.

Confirmation.

May 23, 2010.

I am loved. I am important.

Who needs the drama if you know you actually mean something to someone who matters?

I am Loved.

I am Unique.

I will be Called when the Spirit needs me.

I will be one of the Kingdom's people.

I am full of LUCK.

Coincidences happen.

Last night, as I read those posts on givesmehope.com, those tears welled up inside of me. I realized today why.

I need to be one of the kingdom's people.

I need to be a good person.

I want to make someone's day, I want to witness people doing good deeds.

I want to learn from mistakes others have made, I want to make mistakes others learn from.

I want to see volunteering.

I want to see good citizenship.

I want to see faith in those around me.

I want to see small things that made a difference. I want to see hope.

As the minister put his gentle hand on my head, and my family placing their hands on my shoulders, I had goosebumps.

It really means something..

And as the choir sang a song about how important we are, welcoming us into the church, with a couple making eye contact with me, I cried. I tried to hide it, but the tears were still there.

The tears of happiness. The tears of hope.

I want to go out there and encourage people to do the same. I want to share the experience that words can't describe.

I am blessed. I can make a difference.

Inspire me.
