So I have this parasite. I don't know what else to call it. It's a parasite of an idea that won't go away and won't leave me alone.
We all have experience with looking back and seeing how Heavenly Father has placed certain experiences in our lives to teach us and make us who we are meant to be, but this, this is different in that I am interacting in it as it happens.
I'm not making any sense, but here is what I mean:
1: Changing my major. The sudden realization that my purpose in life is NOT to be a professor of literature. That I am supposed to be helping children and families.
2: The Sunday morning that I typed for about 2 hours as soon as I woke up because the information was just flowing like pure inspiration. This Foundation for a Better America. (Name will most likely be changed.)
I'm not crazy, it's just this idea won't leave me alone. I have this whole plan on how to launch this Foundation, I even get ideas when I see people like, "He would be perfect for this office." This 'office' doesn't even exist yet!! Hahaha I have to laugh at myself. I was even sitting in English class today and we were talking about what you do when you come across a written piece that addresses social wrongs, what is your responsibility now to society? Well the oddest thing. I was reading over the excerpt from the text and thinking about a good answer to give my group to give the class, and suddenly I felt very dizzy and this book popped into my head. "What Can I Do? Helping children in abusive homes, How to tell the difference between abuse, neglection, and normal familial difficulties." What? I've never read that book. Then the Foundation came into my mind, and I knew that that book will a big part of advertising our cause and such, and I needed to write it down. NOW. So I did. It's written down here in my planner. Hahaha I don't even know if neglection is a word!. Hahaha! 
The Song of the blog, Never Grow Up by Taylor Swift, is the main song of this foundation. It's all about the lyrics. She describes a happy childhood that leads to being able to make it in the adult world. Our children will someday be moving out on their own, and they will be the future of our country. We need to put more focus on what will really shape our future, the future of our children and the future of our country. It's so much to think about, and so much work needs to be done. I want to get this started after my summer break. When I get back to school and I am settled in my own new apartment, then I am going to start gathering the people I have already spoken to and really doing this. I feel like if I don't then God will strike me down with lightning. Can't have that now can we? hahaha
To be truthful, I'm excited, and scared. Very scared. Frightened. And excited. That too. It seems like such a big job, but I know that Heavenly Father doesn't tell us to do things that we cannot accomplish. He knows I can do this, and so therefore I can, no matter who doubts me, even if that person who is doubting me is me. I cannot doubt. haha This is so weird. I've always felt that I was supposed to DO something. I just didn't know it would be this. Or this difficult. But it's for little ones like this >>>>that I am going to do this. =]
