The Power to Transform

The power to Transform your life, your community and your world come from with in. What is the foundation that you stand on? Is that foundation strong enough to support you as you press into the world to exact the type of impact you want to make in the world?

Transforming the world does not happen on a plan. In a world that is saturated with data, news feeds and video we could feel that if an elaborate plan isn't laid out with a budget, PR people, advertising dollars and political backing then we can not make a difference.

Could it be that the largest difference is made in the world when a person stands strong on a belief that has turned into principle and been drawn up into a mission so in the midst of distress or that moment of truth they stand in the gap and cause change?

Just ask Rosa Parks in 1955 who got on a city bus in Montgomery, AL, tired after a long days work. Ask Chesley Sullenberger the pilot who safely crash landed the US Airways plan into the Hudson river saving all aboard. Ask Ryan White who contracted AIDS from a transfusion was barred from attending school and became a champion for kids with AIDS before his death in 1990.

A seemingly normal day unfolded before all of these people until the event happened and they either had or did not have the foundation under them to press against to stand for what they believed was right. In the midst of a challenge by an unfair law is a hard time to decide what you believe. It is hard to learn the skill you need to survive in the middle of an emergency. It is a hard place to decide that you will support others under the same challenge as you if the will is not forged by who you are. This constitution is built long before so that in the challenge you are ready to stand.

The power to transform is in you, build it for that moment that will make the difference.
