DREAMS

This afternoon as I was listening to the Michael Basden show in the car on my way back from an interview (it was with Cultural Awareness International for an intern position), I was thinking--"Wow, people out there are really doin it big." They were talking about persuing your dreams. Some people on the show called in saying they hated ther job, and would cry everyday because they hated it so much. But then there were others who called in who owned their own businesses and loved their jobs. Just one day they had had enough, and they got out there and did it. One lady and her husband opened a jazz club. One day they were just like, "hmm, there's no clubs in this area we like." They found a location, and next thing you know they were opening a club in Brooklyn. He stayed on the phone with the woman who owned the jazz club as other called in for advice. Mike said somethin along the lines... "Whatever you do, no matter what you're current job, you work at it with your dream in mind, and let that be your focus. Let that be your goal. Don't have a job just to have one." So basically it's like you may have all kinds of jobs, but look at them as a stepping stone and never stop persuing your ultimate dream in the meantime. Let the ultimate dream be on the forefront of your mind.
The woman also had simple advice, "Don't stop." Just like that. This really got me thinking. You know, though I may be doing all kinds of things right now, it should always be with this ultimate goal in mind: giving God glory. My live lives to spread the gospel and Christ alone. I also like helping others. Everything I do should march toward this goal...and the magazine, this dream so little known by many. But i'm gonna keep it on my mind.


Also, today thinkin about some of the guys in the Crossmovement (Da Truth, Flame?, I think) and the 116 Clique, it's all good what they're doin. But it's all dudes!!!
Where are the females? Well, today I thought to myself, "Maybe instead of looking for these bold Godly women, I should be one", you know? I'm just a liitle unsure of myself right now, but somebody's gotta do it. I'm constantly looking for this romodel. But the more I search, and the more i'm unable to find her, the more I want to be her so that other girls can have one at least. I don't know... However, don't get me wrong. There are plenty of excellent romodels and godly women for young women to model after. I go to church with some, but I want to see us out there more. I want to put us 'out there'. Maybe not rapping like the 116, but you know, doin our thing, but God's way.
