I do not want to get many years down the road and say Man, I never got to travel. It has been engrained in my heart since a young age that I wanted to travel the world, meet people in other cultures and discover the beauty that is out there beyond Texas, beyond the United States. It is so easy to say yeah, but to leaving a comfortable, familiar life but it is not worth it! I am pretty sure that a desire and passion that has been with me longer than I can remember is not meant to just stay there. It is meant to be acted on and carried out in real life, not just in my head and in my dreams! I aspire to let my mind be changed by understanding that there is more out there than what little I have been exposed to! No, not everyone has these same desires but I do not believe that mine are there by accident, but placed specifically in my heart for a purpose of being put into action! I am tired of spending my life being too cautious or saying yeah, but because things seem a little scary or uncertain on the other side. Throughout my life I have met wonderful people who encourage me and inspire me to follow my dreams. I have also met many others who have shot me down and told me that I have to work my way to being able to enjoy life, or pay my dues before I can travel and see the world. I am tired of people telling me that I can never do something because it just isnt logical or part of what they believe my life to be. My life is not meant to be lived to fulfill other peoples needs or to please them. Yes, God will always use people to help each other and work together, but I dont work for man, I work for Jesus. My God is bigger than any circumstance and He can provide for anything that is part of His will. I believe that this is part of His will for my life not to sit standing and waiting for something to just take me away, but for me to take a stand for what He has placed in my heart and watch as He amazes me with how it all comes together! Yeah, but … … what about debt? … what about my job? … what about my boyfriend? This phrase is lethal. It makes it sound like we have the best of intentions, when really we are just too scared to do what we should. It allows us to be cowards while sounding noble. Most people I know who waited to travel the world never did it.
