Missing the Point, the Point of Difference

So I was talking to a dear friend the other day and this friend assumed that because I didn't know what I was going to do with my life, and I don't have a boyfriend that I would end up a cat lady. I was speechless, just because I couldn't believe he didn't understand. He just didn't get it.
It hit me like a train how different our mindsets are.

I don't think I've ever really realized how many people are after the "American Dream" a good job, with good pay, and a family. I'm probably as far away from that as i could possibly be. Going to Australia for 2-3 years,with no after plan, could honestly care less if I meet someone (even though i joke), and certainly no money. But I couldn't be more happy or feel more at peace. It blows me how many people are looking for joy in those things..... when we aren't called to live the "American Dream" at all. I mean no offense to those who are living it, power to ya, I know some great families. It's just a hard thing to explain, ya know?

Anyway another subject, so I'm a veggitarian this month, just to see what it like. For some reason everyone thinks i'm doing it to diet or lose weight. Let's gets something straight, first, If i were to diet i wouldn't cut out chicken, the best protien in the world. Second, if i wanted to diet i could cut out starches... not meat. Lastly, I like food, I would much rather eat better and excersice than diet. So stop assuming veggitarians want to lose weight.

Ok last night when I was leaving Vitamin World there was this teenage girl that was sitting out of the mall. It was like 930 so I was thinking hmmm maybe I should see if she needed a ride, so I thought about asking but I never did because my jank front windows don't roll down. But I kind of wish I did anyway just to see what she would have said. Has that ever happened to you. Sometimes I wish I were braver and didn't let circumstances keep me from acting out, and dumb ones at that.
Well I love you like whoa!!
=)
be Jesus.

    God will provide and allow you to have plans after Australia. He will lead you into what His "American dream" is for you. Well maybe not an American dream but His dream. Even if that is being a lady who lives with cats i kid i kid. God is amazing and He always has something for you even when you don't think or don't give a care in the world of what you are going to do. Are you getting my drift? hah I love you girl! Your amazing!
