#realtalk

I'm about to get passionate people! So this morning I'm having breakfast with my momma at Cracker Barrel and I get a fb message from a friend I haven't talked with in two years. A friend that I went to high school and church with for the two years I lived in Florida. Guys! You never know who is watching what you post on Facebook! You never know who might be a link or connection to amazing possibilities!!! Okay. So I've gotten a couple messages like hers in the past; great friends who are looking out for their friends by relaying information on a possible job opportunity and such. Remember I have not had an actual conversation with this friend in two years...I know...facebook told me with the last time stamp from 2012. So she mentions I should check out this organization she heard of that uses film and photography to help organizations raise public awareness and calls the public to action on social injustice issues!!! So I'm like... um sheeeyeahhh!!! I get home after breakfast and go to their site and I'm like 'Oooo' & 'Ahhhh' & 'Eeee!' Anyway I came across one of their promotional films for their organization and watching it and I break down in tears and started shaking. Like seriously was so incredibly moved because I saw the dreams and passions God has laid on my heart...there...on the screen, better said than I think I could have said myself. On the serious, I think when people ask me what I wanna do when I grow up I'm going to show them this promotional. I immediately ran downstairs to my mom to show her the short promo and started crying again!! Anyway I've made an inquiry about jobs and such through an email. Honestly praying that the Lords will be done with this new found information I have. Who knows He could have just had me come across the organization to help me realize that my dream is possible. Not that I thought it was impossible but just as a, I don't know, like a 'hey trust me it's out there! there are people wanting to do exactly what you want to do. I would't send you out to do it all alone.' #realtalk #God. So I'm trusting that there is purpose behind my friend sending me that message and purpose in my emailing them. Who knows what that purpose is. But as I pray for the Lords will I am also praying that I may be able to join this team of passionate artists and advocates! It's an exciting and bumpy road I've been on and I'm ever so thankful for it.


On a completely other note: People!!! Are you out there? I'd love to read some comments every now and then. I try to be active in making sure friends of mine who have blogs know that I am reading their material that I value their thoughts and things. Doesn't mean that I expect everyone who reads any of this to comment every time haha but I would love to hear that you're out there if you would like to even just say "wazzup." So friend, if you're out there I'd love to hear that my words aren't just floating in space and if they do, then so be it, I'm glad to be writing because that's often how I learn and track growth and process.


I leave you with a question: What pulls on your heartstrings?
