American Dream

I saw this picture as I was scrolling through Facebook, and honestly it made me want to vomit. An anxious feeling crept up from my toes, and I started getting nervous.
I was thinking, what if this is what actually happens in my life? What if this is all I ever achieve? And I could barely stand it the feelings of hopelessness and emptiness.
America has crippled a nation with the invention of a dream that allows people to be comfortable.
I don't want a normal house with a normal yard with normal kids that go to normal schools. I don't want normal neighbors that I wave to when I get the paper but never converse with. I don't want a normal life with a good steady job, and I don't want to never have to wonder if I'll be financially stable the next week. I don't want to be comfortable.
Maybe I'm crazy, but I don't want the "American Dream." I want to do so much more.
I want people to know who I am and the God I represent.
I want to depend on God to get me from day to day.
I don't care where I live, if I have a white-picket fence, 3 dogs, 5 turtles, or a Bengal tiger in my backyard.
I know that I want to do something. I want to help change the world. I honestly don't know what that looks like, or where I can do that to the best of my abilities, but I know that God has big plans for His people. And if I can be a part of that, all praise and glory be unto Him!
