So what’s the story?

It’s been a long time in coming together. I guess you could say that it all began in junior year, in the wonderful place called AP US History class.  We came to the place in time when the grassroots movement was birthed, and I was so taken by the idea.

Grassroots movement – the idea that ideas come from the individual, spreading from one person to the other, and changing the world from the bottom up – is such a foreign concept in a world where we’re all fighting for the power to force ideas down everyone else’s throats. But it expresses my own belief that some of the greatest impacts we can make are through sharing our lives with those around us, from one person to another.

But if it’s just my heart, it’s not enough for this world. Because whether I intend to or not, there is so much selfishness and pride in my heart that all my best attempts to make a better world can only go awry. It is only when my heart is rooted on the solid rock that is Jesus, allowing His grace and love to be the foundation of all I say, think, and do, that lives are healed and people are made whole.

Put it together, and there you have it – grace roots movement.

But apparently I’m not the only human in this world who has thought of this ingenious idea. Alas, it’s unfortunate, but even so, I am so excited to share this journey with you!
