Radiate: Sticky Inspiration Blog
This Friday’s Radiate was set on a beautiful day to go out and encourage the city of Tulsa with a project we call, Sticky Inspiration. Life can get busy and sometimes seem hectic, and in the midst of our craziness, a bit of encouragement is just what we need! A reminder of why we are here- that we aren’t forgotten and we’re not alone. So that’s just what Sticky Inspiration was all about. The interns went around town leaving sticky notes of inspiration on car windows, signs, food aisles in grocery stores, park benches, and even passing them out as people pumped their gas. We ventured out and put them anywhere we could think of, knowing that just when someone needs it, an unexpected note will be there to make them smile and brighten their day.

It’s officially springtime, a.k.a. my favorite time of the year. I woke up this morning to the sound of birds singing, and with all this changing of the scenery I started thinking about newness. These past couple of weeks a lot of things in my life have changed. It’s as if my life is reflecting the seasons. Allowing the old to pass and the new to replace it, has been so refreshing; it’s been a “spring-cleaning for the soul”. The journey through life is as much destiny as the destination. Things will change in our lives because we are all on a journey. Let your journey be an extraordinary one filled with newness- new friendships, new scenery and new revelations with God every day. Embrace the seasons of change in your life.

Hello lovely readers.
Travel. That’s what has been on my mind lately- discovering our world without presumption. Last year I traveled around the Dominican Republic. The scenery, the people, and the ocean- it was all beautiful. I ruined something for myself by having a preset notion about this country that I had never been to, and when my expectations turned out to be different than my reality, it partially robbed from my overall experience. The beginning of 2011 when we traveled to Africa I decided that I would destroy every preconceived idea I had stored in my mind concerning Africa, and I’d simply appreciate the country for what it is. With a fresh perspective I was able to uncover this completely new culture. My advice to all you up and coming world travelers… travel with self-abandonment and without limitations. Don’t risk disappointment; traveling is so rare that you might as well soak up the raw culture instead of masking it with your own notions. So get out there, saturate yourself with experience and adventure and travel, and record every moment of it.
Interns outreach featured on News Channel 6!
TULSA, Oklahoma — A group of Tulsa students set out on a mission recently to inspire others. The students created “Sticky Inspiration,” an outreach that left sticky notes with inspirational quotes in locations around town.
The students left sticky notes on cars, bare walls, grocery store shelves and their local Starbucks – anywhere they thought people might see the notes and find some inspiration.
“The student’s vision and desire is that people will be impacted through these notes of inspiration and therefore be inspired to think beyond what they were thinking for that day,” said Lindsey Clark of Go International, a non-profit organization that focuses on helping people in creative ways. The students are interns with the humanitarian organization.

Speaker of the Week: Jamie Saunders
This past week, Jamie Saunders, an international missionary and consultant, sat down with the interns and simply discussed their dreams with them. Taking their questions and providing very knowledgeable feedback, he helped the interns visualize their dreams and goals in an enthusiastic and practical manner. Although many subjects crossed the discussion table, there were a couple of key points that were made many times: No matter what dream you have, simple or complex, there is a key ingredient we all need for it’s success- money. Knowing this from personal experience, Mr. Saunders followed with a second, more compelling statement: “With or without money, you’ll always need the Creative Process. Even if you had money, without the creative process, you would probably spend the money on things you don’t need,” he continued. In return to all of his helpful questions, the interns began directing some of their own towards Mr. Saunders. After carefully answering them, he finished his time by telling the team stories from his life and once again encouraging the interns to pursue their dreams. It was a refreshing time, reminding the team of their value and their responsibility in this life.
