As I have been struggling through this stage of life where everyone asks you that one question. The question that you have had to have an answer for since you were five years old. It has probably changed sense then but still you knew what the answer was. It is the question "What are you going to do when you grow up." Every decision that one makes has this question on the fringe of their decision making process. How will this affect what I want to be? When pondering this question I received some advice from my father that I think is the wisest piece of advice I had received on the issue. He said, "Son, it is not a question of what are you going to do, but a question of who are you going to be. If who you are aligns with God then it will not matter what you do, because that will in turn fall in place." As my father walked away I wish I had the stomach to tell him what I really felt. I wish I could have told him, that when I grow up, I want to be like my Father.

that's such a good question...
for me to poop on.
that's what i wish i would have said when people asked me that.
joking aside....
your post made my throat choke up. i almost cried, but i was at work so i blinked really hard and told myself that i could cry later.
i wish you could step outside your body and come stand by me and see what you're like....i think you'd be amazed.
Leigh why do you say such things to me. I have done nothing do deserve that compliment.
As misplaced as I think your compliment is about me. It has manifested a joy that I can not explain...so thank you miss leigh
i don't say such things because you deserve it, to impress you, or because i think that it will make you happy.
i say them because they are true.
