“LOVE IN ACTION” Changes Things

This morning my wife posted these words on my facebook wall…

I am so, so proud of you. You told me once when we were 19 that you were created to change the world … and you are one person at a time. Thank you for bringing me on this crazy ride with you!

These words got me thinking… It’s true, for some reason, I have felt for a long time that I was created to change the world in some way. Sure, we all change the world every day in some way, but I have felt that I was created to change this world for the better. I have felt like I was designed to leave this world better than I found it and try to influence others to do the same.

This past Saturday’s LIVE LOVE Event was for me, an opportunity to live into the reason I exist. It was a chance for me to see the change I have been working so hard to create.

On Saturday, almost 200 people from all different backgrounds came together to show their love to the city of Atlanta through hands-on opportunities of service. We served meals to homeless people, painted at several non-profits, built tables for families, and so much more.

I am blow away by the impact Project Live Love is making! It is not only making a difference in the lives of those we are serving but it is also making a difference in those who serve.

Following the projects on Saturday we had an after party at Steamhouse Lounge. At the party, volunteer after volunteer came up to me to share about how the event had changed them that day. They were so thankful to have the opportunity to put their love in action.

You see… “Love In Action” changes things… It is not “me” that is changing anything, but rather an idea that I agreed with and am helping populate. “Love changes things.”

I am honored to lead Project Live Love. Together we are changing the world with LOVE IN ACTION. It’s really happening! Let’s stay the course!
