today i had one of the best days with some of my girl friends that i will ever have.

however, it got me thinking.

today i had the incredible experience of riding in a limo for the first time. for me, that’s a BIG deal. i was super excited. ! it was AWESOME. (: we were going to philly - which, for some reason required driving through some getto parts of town. we, being girls, were BLASTING party music so loud, rolled down the windows and just - had an incredible time!

next thing you knew, traffic jam.

yay.

i wouldn’t have cared .. except for the things i saw.

while we were in our awesome limo, dressed in our nice clothes, and partying our life away - i watched something.

a man. clearly extremely homeless, and physically, mentally, struggling…. laying down on the side of the road.

another man & his girl friend walked up to him and gave him some money. he didn’t even seem happy to receive it. he seemed more, embarrassed.

look. it hit me REALLY hard. during that traffic jam, i saw SO many homeless, or at least struggling people outside in the streets.

i realized something, and i mean.. yeah.

i felt - ashamed to be in that limo blasting music. i really just wanted to get out and walk with the rest of the world. i mean, don’t get me wrong. it was an incredible experience. ! i loved it. ! but, like - i don’t know. as STRANGE and as weird as this sounds.. call me crazy, but. i would so much rather be out on the streets than living “the life” with all the money in the bank. all the toys i could ever have. - i’d rather be perfectly happy with nothing, than unhappy with what i DON’T have. i love everyone who i was with tonight, but if we are being honest, i don’t have the kind of money that ANY of them have. when i was going at first, i was jealous. i wished i could HAVE whatever it was they HAVE. have have have have …. i don’t know if any of this is making sense.. but it just hit me, so i figured that i would share…

let me just say again - i LOVE to death everyone i spent the night with, and i am SO blessed to call them my friends!<3 they are incredible people who love the Lord.

just made me think.
