Insomnia

I’ve never been good about sleeping. While I was on the road, I was literally too exhausted to struggle with falling asleep. Now I’m home. I went to sleep around midnight, woke up at 3AM, and never fell back asleep. Honestly, I’m fine with that because I only dream about all the people I miss. I’m tired and my heart is heavy, partially from a good sadness that means I love those I’m not with and partially from a very hard sadness that I never wanted to feel. I don’t know what I’m supposed to find or learn or do while I’m at home. I don’t know where I’m going or when I’m going there. If there was ever a clearer time that I needed to lean on Jesus, I don’t know when it was. I can’t imagine trying to live my life without my God. 

In your life, you meet people. Some you never think about again. Some, you wonder what happened to them. There are some that you wonder if they ever think about you. And then there are some you wish you never had to think about again. But you do.

C.S. Lewis

Reflecting

I’m reflecting on my experience in the last four and a half months. I can’t come up with a way to talk about how deeply it changed me, but I’m starting to hear a whisper in my heart that is telling me that it can’t be undone, no matter where I am or what I’m doing. And in the moments I feel truly alone and wonder if any of this happened at all, I talk to others who saw me change and who changed themselves, and I am comforted in knowing we are all feeling these things and wondering if it was real. All I know is we must keep reminding each other that the love and support we experienced for four and a half months isn’t going anywhere. What binds us all together can’t be undone. 

Can’t I just hate everyone instead? Saying goodbye to these people: the worst.

This what I spent my Saturday doing.  Jacob, Val, Michelle, Shane, Sean, Amanda Halladay and our new friend Tony and his family worked hard and I think it really paid off. I’m proud of our team, I’m proud of our mural. I will post it on every form of social media. Haha.  It is so cool to me that people are doing stuff like this all over the world and that our voices are truly being heard.

Kony will be stopped.

And until then, we will stop at nothing. (Including sunburns and inhaling a lot of spray paint)

MY FRIENDS ARE THE COOLEST!!!!!

COVER THE NIGHT

It starts today. DO IT. Change the world.

In in the weeks following the release of Kony 2012 so many people have asked me, “What’s going on with Invisible Children?” This is the answer. I stand behind all my friends out there on the frontlines fighting for justice, and I hope you’ll join us.
