tut tut looks like rain

Today was kinda windy. And I really wished it wasn't windy. Especially when I had to walk to the metro station. My step dad was up on the roof working on the house (I called up to him and said bye and he didn't respond until I was nearly a block away yelling asking if I needed a ride to the station, I said no. Really I wanted a ride to Delta) and I had to put my hood up it was so cold. At least for me, which I'm sure you're learning I can't handle the cold. I arrived at the station earlier than planned and sat there waiting for the buses. I sat next to some African Americans whom I'm guessing were friends by the way they were talking. After about ten minutes they stood up and walked in front of me (they were women mind you) and started to head out when the one lady started preaching to everyone. I made the unfortunate decision to watch her, and in which case, accidentally made eye contact.

She made her way over to me and said not to look down, but to look up to God. I watched her, glancing over at a girl that was about my age, across the room. She went on and on about how God saved her from the devil. She used to be in a wheel chair and now she was up and walking, she danced in the isle at her church even. Always dancing for God. She said, "I'm sure you have plans for your future, what you want to do. But you don't need to tell me, that between you and God only." She gestured around to everyone inside and outside waiting for their buses. "You do what you need to do. Don't look at these other people, they just people. They nobody. You do what you need to do, don't let nothing stop you." She started to walk away but came back. "You wake up in the mornin' I'm sure you have stuff on your mind, you do it, you don't mind nobody else but you. It between you and God, not them." She finally walked away and I left to wait for my bus and I thought about what she said. I simply had to smile and nod my head. Mostly because what she said made sense. It doesn't matter what everyone else thinks, it matters what I think. What I want to do with my life. No one's going to do it for me, and they don't have to, because I can do it for myself. It doesn't matter that I don't have a drivers license, I still find a way to school. I'm not the only one in Michigan without a job. I'm going to do what I have to do. I'm going to do what makes me happy.
