I am so tired right now that my whole body aches in every way I can imagine. It isn't a sort of ache that I can't handle, and it certainly isn't one that will stand up to the four ibuprofen that I just took, and I'm not at war with the ache. I earned it today, and it helps me know that I worked.
My heart is just so SO SO FULL of gratitude that I can't express it in words. I can't begin to tell you how amazing it has been the last few days, and I'll explain why!
I work with the student volunteer organization on campus called Student Support. We have been working this week with the amazing individuals that put on the new student orientation, and let me tell you I wouldn't trade these last three days (or tomorrow for that matter) for anything. Not for Disney, not for wishes, not for anything. I have met people that will change the world. I have been around true greatness.
There isn't even a moment I have in which I could begin to write down all of the amazing things that have happened, not tonight. I need to sleep because tomorrow will be another early morning. I plan on making time on Sunday though, where I can just sit down and think.
Reader. Yes. YOU. Right now, reading this post, I want you to BELIEVE--even if just for me, for a moment--believe that the world is good. Believe in the good in people. Believe in their amazing potential. Believe in that part that loves the world, that wants to grow. Believe in the part that will make the tomorrow that you dream in your heart. Believe in them enough to make yourself part of that change. Believe in happiness and joy. Put your money down for the team that you already know will win.
Now that you believe, even if it is just for me, for this moment, take that and do something. Go brighten the world in that one way that only you can! I KNOW that you can do it!!!! Oh goodness you have SO MUCH POTENTIAL! GO FOR IT! USE IT! Make the impossible happen! We did it in the past when we sent a man to the moon, and you can do something just as monumental with just a little bit of inspiration and perspiration! Don't you doubt for a second! (If you do, take a step back and remember that if no one else does [and there ARE more] I BELIEVE IN YOU!)
Know that I believe in you. I've been a little less happy lately, but the people that I love here at BYU-Idaho have proven to me once again that I am loved, that I am surrounded by greatness, and that there really is HOPE for a new day! Tomorrow will be amazing. God even made it rain knowing that I would be able to fall asleep to the drops against the window next to my bed.
I love you so much and I love this world. Know that I've had crazy amazing days, and they'll make some amazing stories here soon. Make yours happen today, and tell me about it the next day!
This is Doug, Signing off for the night!
MUCH LOVE!
