As we embark on a new adventure in 2016. I can't help but marvel at the glory of the work of Gods hand in my life. I want to raise my hands up high in praise and shout out His name from the rooftops!!!
Our God is so faithful and the more I seek Him and His will for my life -the more the doubts, fears and un beliefs I carry in my heart are being shattered.
I truly am seeing the scope of all things in a deeper sense. Over the past month I have been deep in meditation and prayer as I thank the Lord for all He has provided and I've been preparing my heart for my spoken word for 2016. My oh my... He is so faithful. God has mighty plans..... And I'm so thankful to be a part of them!
With all that has transpired in our lives through the gift of my spoken word community. I have had a stirring in my spirit to be a part of something that will create change in the hearts of not only my family and I but for all those we have the opportunity to come in contact with.
You see, over the last year my eyes and heart have been opened to see the needs of those around me locally and globally and I want to create the change I'd like to see in the world. I'm just one little person but together we can accomplish great things Big and small. One of the greatest things I learned over this last year was that it takes a little from a lot to make things happen. We can get completely overwhelmed with everything that's going on in the world and just sit back and do nothing or we can decide we will start small doing a little and encourage others to join us and can create something beautiful. It just takes a little spark to start a fire.
My spoken word for 2016 is
Change Maker
When the word came to me... I was like "what in the world is that?" So I looked it up and couldn't believe it. The Lord never ceases to amaze me. I am in a constant state of AWE!
What is a change maker you ask?
The ones who can see the improvements that can be made in a positive way for the betterment of all.
- the leaders
-the role models
-the inspirations
Megan
A Changemaker is anyone who follows through with making a difference in society, no matter how small that difference may be. Transforming humanity on the global level is often the doing of a Changemaker, but it all starts with small changes made by just one individual.
Raquel Arteaga
A Change maker is someone who sees the flaws of the community and people around them and seeks to change what some may deem impossible. Change makers stop at nothing to create the proper productivity the world needs to see. They are leaders and set the examples for those who can’t decide whether or not to be a change maker. They are people who are dedicated to making something life changing happen even if it means they have to go it alone at first. But like most rebels in history- the path to justice starts lonely and ends beautifully as supporters begin to realize how important becoming the change you want to see in the world is. Change makers don’t just make change, they ARE the change.
Destiny
A Changemaker is an ordinary person that does extraordinary things for the good, despite the flaws they may have. These people seek true, social, potent, and global change that make the simplest difference. Their change may even be a smile to a lonely person across the room, which in turn, causes that person to feel a sense of acceptance and worth. Or it could be traveling the world to provide clean food, water, and medical attention to the destitute. Whatever it is, we all have the potential to be genuine Changemakers in this world that so desperately needs it. Open your eyes. See what needs to be done in this world. Then, do it! That is a Changemaker. You know what’s beautiful? Anyone can be one. Let’s start now and never waste a moment to do good.
Savannah Esquibel
A changemaker is someone who has it in their heart to change circumstances around them. It could be someone who has a rough life and refuses to let that be the outcome of their life, so they decide to change others lives by helping them through it, and being an inspiration
Tishauna
A Changemaker can be anyone and everyone who wants to impact those around them for the better. Any type of influence can constitute a change, whether it is big or small. A smile to those walking by or building houses in other countries. They have a purpose and the passion to stick to the purpose, no matter the road blocks they may face. They know their cause is bigger than themselves and hold true to the positive outcome they would like to see. Changemakers foster more Changemakers to make a community of positive change.
Madison Stevens
A changemaker is a person with initiative. They strive to stand out and make a difference in their community. Motivated, they push for positive development within their community by implementing new ideas and practices. Changemakers are believers in progress, refusing to conform with outdated beliefs they blossom into free thinkers. Changemakers make a difference in their community, however large or small, by devoting their time and energy to those people and things that need it most.
Shannon Bailey
A Changemaker is anyone who
seeks to make a difference, who yearns to make the world a better place, who strives to be influential and shed a positive light. A Changemaker is a leader, working to guide us in the right direction. It could be a small and simple modification, or it could be a magnified and more dramatic shift; regardless it only occurred because someone was passionate and felt it needed to be done. They used qualities such as determination, dedication, inspiration, motivation, and leadership to transform an aspect of our culture, on either a local or global level.
Gianna Pappas
A Changemaker is a person who inspires someone to make a difference in the world. They help people find a common cause to strive for and encourage people to get involved in the world’s issues. They must explain that every little step towards the greater good can help. A Changemaker must be dedicated to changes, not only in themselves, but also in the greater community. They must be good listeners, persuasive speakers and compassionate people. Change must start with someone, and a changemaker begins a ripple effect that can CHANGE the world and the people who thrive in it.
Emma von Tscharner
When I hear the word “changemaker” I automatically think of a person who stands out. A changemaker is someone who makes a difference, no matter how little or big it may be. I picture someone in a crowd of people at a sports game decked out in school colors leading the cheers. I think of someone volunteering to help other people. I picture someone who you see walking around saying hello to everyone, and making each person feel special in some way. A changemaker does not have to be anything over the top, just somebody who stands out. It is somebody who is making not only changes in their direct life, but is affecting every single person around them in a positive way. They bring good change and a positive attitude. A changemaker is someone who changes things and affect the people around them in their own special way.
Sloane Booterbaugh
A changemaker is an individual that strives to make a difference, even in what may seem to be the smallest ways. Changemakers do not sit by and watch problems grow. Rather they overcome all obstacles and make the changes that they want to see in their community.
Lacey Hartin
I believe a changemaker is an innovative leader who is passionate about bettering their community by providing unconventional solutions to help resolve everyday problems. A hardworking, creative changemaker respects the values of the group that he or she is collaborating with while suggesting novel ideas for substantial change that will not only help others in the short-term, but will put into action lasting long-term practices. Changemakers are catalysts to change anywhere from local to even global transformation.
Cassidy Cunningham
So a change maker huh? After reading all these amazing explanations I felt very inadequate. Really? God wants to use little ol me to be a change maker?!! But I'm reminded.... with God all things are possible! I'm just the vessel he will be using!
The amazing thing is for the past 6 months or so, I have had a stirring in my heart to start a non-profit. It's a BIG step of faith for me. But the Lord is the one who planted the desire in my heart and now with a Spoken word like this; I am extremely excited to be a part of Gods plans and to see just what he does in our lives this year through my spoken word "change maker"
So for now, I will be in prayer that others (maybe it's YOU) will come along side to be the change they'd like to see in this world with me.
