Cornerstone, Stephen Christian, and God

The past week was one of the best weeks of my life. We went up to Busnell, Illinois to play at Cornerstone, which is a huge Christian music festival for those who don't know. I knew it was going to be fun, and I knew I would have a good time. I didn't know my life would be impacted in such a huge way. Besides the fact that I saw Anberlin live, I was introduced to a foundation called Faceless International. Faceless International is an organization that travels around the world helping people in need. It focuses on things such as human trafficking (slavery) and poverty. I went to a Q and A session that was hosted by Stephen Christian (Anberlin) and he said that in the U.S. there are over 300,000 slaves. If there are that many in the U.S. alone, think about other countries. Think about countries that has corrupt government that you can just pay off.
I realized that this is what I need to be doing. I feel like God opened up a whole new chapter of my life. He confirmed so many things on this trip that I have been struggling with for a long time. I actually got to meet Stephen, which was incredible. He is such a genuinely nice guy and probably the most humble person I have ever seen. Nothing he does is for his personal gain. He views himself as no different that any other person. I want to be like that. I feel like God wants to use me to help make a difference in the world. I feel like I know what I need to do.
Besides that, my faith is stronger than it has ever been. This summer we have gone all across Tennesee, gone up to Illinois, back down to Tennesee, and tomorrow we are going to Tupelo, Ms. We have not had to pay a cent out of pocket for gas. We've played a few shows where we haven't even gotten any money. We were upset and stressed, but God provided us with the money we need. We've gone over 2500 miles and not had to pay anything for gas. That is amazing. I hope I can keep up this mentality. I pray that God continues to open up my eyes and let me see the things I need to see.
