Stand up and be counted

Stand up, do it, actually stand up (providing your sat down, if your not, sit down and stand up again)..done it? Feels good standing up doesn't it, no imagine what it feels like standing up for something, something your passionate about your faith, your beliefs, your family for example. Take me for example I stand for my generation, I stand for my faith.

There is a famous quote ' If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything' I don't want to fall for anything, I want to be able to go to the grave knowing that I stood for something, that I made a difference. I want to know that I was a man of significance and that I actually made a difference to this world. In that I choose to stand for the things that are close to me, for example; my youth group Two Twenty, my church TCC, my friends, my faith, my family. They're the things I want to stand for.

But in standing for something you can't just say you stand for something unless you actually live it, day in day out, it has to run through our veins. I guess what I mean is you have to be passionate about it, and the thing about passion is that no one should ever have to ask you what you're passionate about, they should just be able to see it in you.

This whole post was inspired by a talk from my youth leader and one of my closest friends who I've mentioned before so I won't mention him again. But in his talk about this he summed up what this entire blog is about when he said "I choose to stand for my generation" that's what this blog was set up to do, stand up and be counted.

You look through history's giants and world changers, Dr Martin Luther King Jr for example, he saw an injustice and he stood up and said something and shared his vision, although to this day his vision has not been fully completed as there are people who insist on dragging it down but he changed the way the colour of a persons skin or any other difference was treated, he truly set about equality.
