No matter what you do, when you feel good, nobody can take it away from you. Go out and make your day.

I was recently stopped by Children International and I decided to participate in it. $29 per month, literally a dollar a day. That day, I felt good, and nothing took it away from me.

The Jubilee Project

Hello there! Just thought I'd post about something that amazed me today. And that thing is, as you can tell from the title of this post, The Jubilee Project! :D I guess depending on how closely you follow me, you'd know that I post almost every single one of their videos on my blog when they release them on youtube (...at least the more recent videos). In case you don't know who they are, these three guys produce shorts on youtube to raise awareness and funds for amazing causes, such as those fighting against leukemia, human trafficking, and their latest project, AIDS. I could probably just stop writing right here and just dedicate the whole post to how amazed I am with their work. But...there's more!

You see, the Jubilee Project was kind of just a part-time, side(ish) project for them (at least as far as I can tell). Now they've decided to quit their job and school to pursue the Jubilee Project full-time. One of the guys (and I feel really guilty about saying "one of the guys" because I am such a huge fan of their work, but I don't actually know who is who) quit his job at the White House. The freaking White House. Another guy (oh, the guilt of not know their names...) dropped out of Harvard Medical School. Freaking. Harvard. Medical. School. Like, what?! Here I am wondering if I can even make it into the lowest tier of medical schools, and he just drops out of one of the most prestigious medical schools in the nation. If I got a slot in Harvard Medical School...well, let's just say I'd probably have an incredibly hard time letting go of that slot (although I wish I wouldn't). I think most people would think this is completely ridiculous. I mean, at least finish medical school before you start this dream, right? So why would they do such an absurd thing? There's a very simple answer. They felt compelled by God to go down this path in their lives. Yeah. That's it. Just pick up and go. Much much much much much much much easier said than done, I think we would all agree. But they're doing it. And that just...wow. It really amazes me. It takes a ton of courage to let go of what the world tells us we need for ourselves and just "follow our hearts" (I know, I know, very cliched). Anyways, just wanted to say they're super inspirational people and I hope my heart will be like theirs one day.
