If you have never read The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini, you must open your schedule and your heart to his wonderful story. In The Kite Runner a young servant boy Hassan tells his master's son "for you a thousand times over" as he runs to catch a kite. In this one act for his friend, Hassan takes on an immense burden to try to lift his friend's.
This is what I want my life to be--not a chase after fame or fortune, but a fight for others. Tomorrow I leave for South Africa. Honestly, right now I'm not excited, but I know this is what I'm supposed to do, not what's expected of me, but what is going to change my life and hopefully change others'. I am leaving with the best heart I can muster hoping to leave everything behind. If I can make a difference in one person's life while I'm there, it doesn't matter how I feel now. I want to look at God every day and say
"for You a thousand times over."
