he might have the coolest job ever...



i love my job. i mean a job is a job, but i have a lot of fun so there for i love it. i've never had job envy, i'm thankful for where i am. however, i was driving home for lunch, that's right, i go home so i can eat cereal. anyways, i was driving home and saw this man, on the corner downtown.


 i had to stop, take a picture, and compose myself. i loved him, he made me laugh really hard. i don't know why, it might have been the umbrella or the fact that this isn't nyc, but yet we have a hot dog vendor. he might have the most fun job ever. he only has to work when it's nice out, he has the fun colored umbrella, and he smells hotdogs all day. how fun is that? i work and work and work and i know that a job like this is where i'm going to be someday. except i want a polka dot umbrella.

standing up in a world that turns...

If your friends described you in 5 words or less what do you think they would be? 

funny. kind. faithful. listener. sweet. bold. handsome. GORGEOUS ;) leader. loving. passionate. etc.

do you think the way your friends see you are the way you see yourself? Do you think the world sees you the way you want to be seen?
 
I've always thought the world sees me as a Christian, a leader until I was approached by a situation that would make me think otherwise. No need for details it wasn't a big deal, it was just an eye opening situation. If the world doesn't see me as who I THINK I am, than am I just "talking the talk, not walking the walk?"

It's easy to talk to your friends about your beliefs and the things you're passionate about. Whether it is faith, friends, family, politics, dreams, etc., but when you're put to the test, to actually put the plan in motion, do you choke? 

It's hard to do, but actions do speak louder than words. In a world that is going and going and not really thinking of the consequences, are you going with the flow or standing up for things you believe in? It seems that we're all waiting for someone else to stand up first, someone to help us. Maybe you or I are supposed to be the first one to stand, the first one to say "what the heck are we listening to him for, he's wearing eyeliner?!!" 

I'm not saying I'm going to be the one to change the world, I'm just saying maybe it's time to stand up.  Truth is, no one is going to call you a leader or a life changing person if you're not.
