So, a friend of mine blogged tonight, so I thought I'd follow suit. It has been awhile since I blogged, so it is time.
This friend of mine blogged about how quick life is, and how rarely we stop to breathe. I totally agree with her. I think we live in a world where the fast paced lifestyle is expected and accepted, whereas it's opposite is rejected. I often find myself wondering where time goes, and question whether I am doing what I really want to be doing. The reality is this... We like the fast-paced lifestyle, and it doesn't matter what we WANT to be doing, because we won't ever be able to get past the fear of jumping. We are a people who are afraid to slow down and reflect, because all those balls we are juggling, will come tumbling down if we stop. Keeping the fast-paced lifestyle means we don't have to sit and reflect. We don't have to sit and think about how badly we would like to be doing something else, because the fast-paced lifestyle keeps us distracted. I mean seriously, what would I do if I didn't do what I am doing? The fear of taking a leap and doing what is exciting, sounds very appealing... And scary. Here is another hard truth, what do I really want to be doing? Working at Storyland & Playland isn't so bad. I am making a difference, and paying the bills. Is there something more exciting? If so, what is it?
Before Daniel and I started dating, merely when we worked together, we had a conversation about dreams. He was telling me what he wanted to do in life, and what sounded appealing, and when the question was asked in return, I had nothing. Why is that? Is it because I don't have any dreams, or is it because I haven't taken the time to think about them. Or... Maybe it is because those things that sound wonderful don't make sense to a 23 year old who should be thinking about a career and a family, etc. I don't know. It is definitely something I should think about.
Right now, in this present moment, I want to excel in school. I want to be loved and love in return with ALL that I am. I want to suceed at my job. These are some of the things I want. Oh and I want to take a trip out of town. :)
Life is a journey.

I will go with you!!!! haha
I love when you write... it's all heart! I totally agree, I think we all need to have dreams. I don't think we necessarily have to be crazy and drop our responsibilities to pursue them, but we need ot be giving them to God. We need to be looking for ways to pursue them and to really live with purpose and with joy. What if we loved our jobs?? What if?
