The Water Project update

        About a year ago, I decided to start a campaign to raise money for a charity. I had been looking for a charity to support for a while, but none of them really stuck out to me as the one I wanted to choose. As I was looking one day,  the song Oceans by Hillsong UNITED was running through my head.  I came across The Water Project and started reading about it.  And I knew immediately that was the charity I had been looking for!

        Water plays a huge role in each our lives. Water affects our health, education, and many other things. Nearly 1 billion people across the planet do not have access to clean, safe water. We don’t realize how lucky we are to have clean water in our homes and cities.

You have to be cautious about how these things are pulling your life. Is your stress chained to your ankle like an anchor pulling you down? Take a step back and evaluate what is dragging you down in your life and what you can do to fix it. Things

          So obviously you feel like your world is falling apart, or else you  wouldn't be here on this blog right now.  Sometimes in life, things go wrong that you can't understand and that is 100% OK. Whether its from a relationship, a friendship, a job, or any other situation, here are a few things you can do to make yourself feel better. 1.  Look At Your Relationship With God           The number one reason why you probably have no hope left is because you have put more effort into other aspects of your life than you have into your personal relationship with God.  Think of this less as a tragedy and more as a wake up call.  God is calling you to come back to him.  You have to take more time to pray and read the Bible and make Him your number one priority again. 2.  Look At What Went Wrong           Take a step back and really think about it:  Was the situation unhealthy?
