I've been waiting all this time to be something I can't define


"People always want to define you by what you do. I started saying, "I'm not too concerned with what I am going to do. I am more interested in who I am becoming. I want to be a lover of God and people." - The Irresistible Revolution by Shane Claiborne

When I say I'm majoring in creative writing people look at me funny. It kinda makes me smile. I hear the question before they ask it.

"So what are you gunna do with a degree in that?" - Everybody

"I don't know. Be happy I hope." - Me

*Smiles and nods like they understand* - Everybody

"All I know, is if I can learn to love...really love: people, Jesus, myself, my enemies...before I die. I will call it a good." - Me

"I remembered Mother Teresa saying, "Do not worry about your career. Concern yourself with your vocation, and that is to be lovers of Jesus." So I started calling myself a vocational lover." - The Irresistible Revolution by Shane Claiborne

Occupation? Lover of Jesus, lover of men.

Yeah, I like the sound of that one.

What do you want to be when you grow up?

Also, on a very side note...I think this post secret was written about me. Just sayin'.
