daydreaming

so tonight at church during a nooma video i was daydreaming. as much as i like those videos i always have to make myself focus. that's a problem with many things though. this time it was a continuation of a previous daydreaming moment. the last time it was kind of a joint effort with mom, but one i've thought about several times since then. haha so here it goes...

i guess it was about a year ago mom and i were out garage sale-ing for dorm room furniture. we were successful and had just gone to get the suburban to pick up our bargains. somehow we got started on the topic of what i would do in life. like i'll graduate with my bachelors in elementary education and start right in on the job. i also added i'd like to work/manage in a coffee shop during the summers to keep myself busy. then mom added in i would be a worship leader on the weekends. (not sure about that yet.) i said "well, i'm not sure about worship leader, but probably worship team member".

so that was mainly the dream that day. since then, throughout this school year i have added more to it. i would like help run the coffee shop and work there in the evenings after my school days were done. imagining myself still single at this point because i, right NOW, don't mind being single and wouldn't mind to still be for a couple more years--but, who knows. so, anyways i would of course live in the loft about the coffee shop. i mean, right? :) it might sound like this is just a lot of working, but i enjoy this atmosphere and i'm sure i'd have time off. plus, i will have college loans to start paying off and need money for saving. i just thought this was the greatest addition. and then who knows what i would do when i got married.

well, tonight i've added more. so i think after a year or so out of college and not being married, living with a girl friend(nicole), or siblings would be grand. maybe i'd be married after a year or two. haha so then this great opportunity would come up. someone would need US to like take over the coffee shop, they still owned it but needed someone to completely take over because they couldn't anymore. (for unknown reasons). ha. we would live upstairs in the loft and i would teach. he could run the coffee shop during the day (act like the owner) and it could be like a ministry for us. i'm not saying he has to be a pastor of some type, but it could just be our ministry for however long. i would come back at night. i say this like i wouldn't need time to rest, but hopefully it would be a low-stress/relaxing place and i could work on lesson plans and grade papers and help out when needed. we could offer small group type things on certain week nights or during the day--one on one studies/disciple talks(classes) too possibly. maybe even join with a local church to have services on sunday mornings.

welp, THE END, for now. haha

this seems like a movie it's so perfect. sometimes i don't like when i daydream about things because they never happen like they went in the dream. this dream could be an idea for a good NON-cheesy christian film. haha but wouldn't it be awesome for this to actually happen. it would just take the perfect events and people to take place. how simple would that be? ha! well, we'll see where God takes me.

adios amigos

p.s. hope you got a few good laughs during this daydreaming explanation. :)
