i cant think of a title for this one ;]

All you need is love
All you need is love
All you need is love..love
Love is all you need.

Today I'm in the best mood that I have been in (while at home in Iowa) than I have in awhile.

We had the event "See you at the Pole" this morning and it was a better turn out than I had expected. "See you at the Pole" is an awesome even that happens every year around the country. It's a time where fellow students and youth groupers can get together as one, and pray for their school and their school year. People involved gather around their school's flag pole in a circle and just pray. You can pray about anything you want to, and it's really encouraging to see young middle schoolers stepping out of their comfort zone and just praising the Lord. This morning we had about 20 or more students gathered around the flag pole and we ended our time by singing "How Great is Our God". It was so awesome to see everyone there! One of our teachers even came over to pray with us. Praise the Lord! :]
One other thing that I'm really excited about is that I'm going to be starting a fundraiser at my school for an orphan care center in South Africa. The Story: One of the Townships we were in while in South Africa has given our organization a huge piece of land to build an orphan care center. It had to go through the leaders of the town, and then up to the chief, but it came through! This piece of land is 4 football fields big! The center will be there for children to get something to eat each day, to do their homework and get tutored, and just a place to worship God. This care center will cost around $25,000. My goal for this fundraiser, with the high school and middle school is $4,ooo. I'm going to try to make an awesome video to help pump up the schools, and of course we are going to make this a competition between grade levels ;] With the help of friends, and the grace of God, i MAY be able to put it together! haha I suppose we will see huh?
