Dream Come True

I believe in living your dreams. "Whoever said life sucks, get use to it" or "Life doesn't get any better" apparently needs to got to Disneyland and find their inner child. I for one, believe that life, though may get tough at times, is suppose to be fun. Sure long lines that seem to never get shorter may come, but that is just part of the experience. "Waiting time (or as I, an optimist would like to say 'preparation time') is not wasted time."

For almost five years I have had a dream. To be an Auntie (volunteer chaperone) with The African Children's Choir. This organization travels all over to raise money for children to have a better future in Africa. 

They came to my church 10 years ago and I loved it. I think that is when my love for Africa started. They returned almost 5 years ago and I knew I wanted to be apart of this amazing organization. Though I had (still have) a car loan and a school loan that put my dream on hold. And lets be real... I was real immature at that time (I'm a little better now) lol. 

Since then I have worked my tail off and feel that it is time to go. I sent in my application, passed the interview and made it to the Welcome Weekend. A couple weeks later I got a phone call while i was shampooing carpets at work to say that I had passed! WOOOO!

I start on Choir 41 touring the west half of the US and Canada...possible the UK! I leave in January of 20014. 

So to the people who have lost hope in life and living your dreams, take a deep breath, brush the dust off yourself and begin to dream again. You are not meant to live on this earth for nothing. To just be miserable. How sucky would that be. Have hope. 

Even though I still have to fund raise like crazy and sell my car to finish off the car payment, I shall stay positive. God is bigger than any obstacle we face.
