Mixed feelings.

Something wonderful is happening on our campus. The three social justice clubs: International Justice Mission, Acting on AIDS, and the brand spankin' new Invisible Children club are joining together to form one Social Justice Council. Though we are still trying to figure out the logistics, we are very excited about it. We hope that it will better model the body of Christ by allowing us to work together on things and be more unified. In addition, if someone has a heart for social justice but not necessarily a specific organization, he or she can come to the council and try out the different clubs because we will all be meeting at the same time. And, it is highly possible that I will be the president of the I.C. "subclub." This makes me very nervous. I guess I fear something going wrong and all of the blame going on me, losing our prospective club members, or exploding because of all the work. Hopefully people will have grace on us because we are new. I am excited overall. I can't wait for the freshmen to come in. One of my main concerns is that I want people to be empowered to lead and to do something about the problems they see in the world. I pray that I can lead it for a season and be replaced by someone who can do an even better job. I want to make it clear to everyone that I will need their help. This is in all of our hands.
"If you are not free, I am not free. If one man on earth is partly enslaves, the world is not completely free."

Also, the Rescue was.. and is... revolutionary. It has been delightful being able to keep up with what's going on in each city. When one part of the Body rejoices, all of us rejoice. We are a family.

For all of you wondering what my blog url means, an explanation is coming soon. It sounds depressing, but believe me, it's quite the opposite of that.
