Dream Job

Right now, all I can do is dream about the job I so long for.

I know that whenever I see people, business owners, artist, leaders, musicians and even content creators, I want to reach out to them and offer them my services [even though I don’t really know what my services are just quite] I see people who are doing something great and it motivates me to want to be a part of something that’s going somewhere. I look for the people that know what they want to in life and want to help them get there.

I want a job that challenges and allows me to help others in difficult situations. I want to make people’s lives easier and want to help them reach their goals quicker. I want to be my boss’s “to-go” person whenever they need something to be done or need some type of object when it’s nearly impossible for it to be found or done. I wouldn’t mind working for someone who is all up for influencing a generation to go after their dreams. I’m all about influencing and setting a good example. As far as this job goes, I want to be able to give opportunities to people as well.  I just want a job that benefits others as well as me.

I have a passion for the arts- Music, Photography, Acting, etc. I know whatever job I have will revolve around those types of things. Social Networking, Media, Pop Culture, there’s no doubt that these things will be a part of what I do.  I can only dream.

One of these days I’ll stop dreaming about the job I want and will be working it instead. 

A New Surrounding

I need to surround myself with people who challenge me, not just the people who support and cheer me on. I need people to push me towards my goals. People who will lift me higher. I need someone who is committed to helping me see opportunities. Not someone who holds me back or kills my dreams or even holds back encouragement.

The number one hinderance or accelerator of our personal growth is our associations, that being anyone who is emotionally or mentally connected to us. I know that the easiest way for me to grow as a person is to surround myself with people smarter than I am. So that is what I must do. Surround myself with greatness.

Love

"Love."

This famous four letter word has been in our world since the beginning of time. In my short life, I've spoken the word, experienced the word, and watched the word expand more times than I could ever put down on paper. 

Love from a friend, is truly rare. Love from a mother, is highly honored. Love from a brother, is sweetly special. 

But to be in love, is a category all it's own. For it is not words spoken, and it is not shown in good deeds, but it is awakened deeply inside of us. 

I've watched those closest in my life experience that delight. I can see it on her face when she looks into his eyes. I've watched it in his body language as he draws near to her. I have been blessed with the awarness of this deeply rooted emotion consistantly. And then I thought "When will it be my turn?" I've battled with my heart day after day, trying to figure out when and who and how. I arrived at the knowledge of realizing God will bring someone in His time, but I was never satisfied with that conclusion. I wanted it to be my turn now. I was lost wandering, waiting for God to drop something into my lap.

And then it hit me, knocking me to my knees, no air left in my lungs. 
"God delights in his marriage with you." 
I was embraced with the truth that I can experience this type of love for myself, and it's been with me my whole life. 

I would never have been the one to admit to it, but I myself had placed God in a box. He was glorious and active and loved me, of course. But His heart, it flutters at the thought of me. And His mind, it is consumed with my beauty. He is patient and He waits for any single moment He gets to spend with me.

He adores me.

I can live in romance with God. A divine romance that overtakes my every being. One where I, too, jump at the sound of His name. Where my thoughts are consumed with His presence. When every moment of my day, I excite at the thought of spending time with Him. When all I want to do is just be with Him.

It's true love. It's better. It's beyond what I even know, and it's depths reach higher, and wider, and deeper than my heart can feel.

I am not alone in this world. I see those around me with their hands held in someone elses, and I, too, have something to hold on to. Just the sound of His name can fill my heart with gladness. And I rejoice at the thought of living in this romance with my God until He finds it time to send someone on earth to be with me. 

For the first time, I am truly content. I am captivated. I am... no will be... living in intimate devotion with my true love. I will find real joy in being with just Him. I am at freedom to live my life as His own, knowing & believing He will bring someone to me in His time.

2011

2010 was a year of new beginnings for me. I left all that I knew to start a life somewhere different and unfamiliar. A path of becoming what I knew I was being led to for the last bit of 2009. It was a scary thing. I moved out, 3 states away from home, to live in California. I started an Internship there and made a promise to myself that I would finish a full year. Not being certain why I was led to do this, I made this promise and I kept it. I took it on with full force, taking on greater responsibilities and new opportunities. I was challenged, not only within the internship but outside of it as well. Growing in my faith, Learning who I was and am, and discovering new passions and talents. I met new people who I now call friends that helped change who I was. I was stretched. I started to dream again, envisioning my future. Inspiration was coming to me. Life started to become more exciting. Doing this internship changed who I was. Coming out here was simply the first step to help lead and prepare me for the things that will come my way this year... 

2011 will be a year of great opportunities for me. Taking what I learned in 2010, I will make 2011 my year. This will be a year of action. I will be doing a lot of new things. Pursuing my dreams and my passions. Being able to express myself freely. Traveling more perhaps. I know this year has a lot of things in store for me. I can just feel it. I will be challenging myself in many areas. One thing I will be challenging myself to do is, becoming more active in YouTube, making videos on a regular basis. Maybe 3 videos a month. Also, writing more. Posting a blog entry twice a month on Blogspot. I'm taking this new year and making it mine. So many plans, dreams and things are gonna come to pass. The world better prepare itself. 2011 will be amazing. Nothing will stop me from doing the things I want to do. This is my Year!
