Something Like Chipotle :-/

I have never met so many people that were so in love with Chipotle. You know, that place with the HUGE burritos, burrito bowls, and the best chips ever!!! Before going to school, I had only been once and since I'm from Houston I guess that's a crime...lol. It turns out not everyone has multiple Chipotle(s) within blocks of each other...oh well.

Well, the nearest Chipotle to me is a metro or shuttle ride away and sometimes eating there isn't feasible. So what my lovely school concocted is some type of Chipotle-esque feeding station known as Southwest Station. Southwest has all the ingredients necessasry to make a good Chipotle-like burrito so people get in line expecting to get a something that tastes somewhat similar.

"Yea, give me some rice, chicken, salsa, lettuce, and cheese" They'll make it however you like. They'll put in on the grill and then present you with good-looking burrito. You're about to have the best meal of your life...THEN...you take a bite. *Side-glance* Something just ain't right here. I thought it would taste something like Chipotle.

Well, you thought wrong. SOOOO...wrong. And I see that people use that same misguided thought process when it comes to the opposite sex.

Let's say your desires for a mate include "Christian, smart, conversational, and self-sufficient" and you'll find him or her down the street and around the corner. I'll see people go along with "kinda Christian, smart, no conversation, and needy" just because he or she is right next door. SMH!!! The "kinda Christian" and Southwest station both have the ingredients necessary to be the most awesomest thing ever, but right now something is missing. What is it? That's not for you to figure out, it's more like a personal problem and you'll give yourself a headache trying to fix the issue.

We complain about these nasty burritos, but Chipotle is just down the street. We are too lazy to go there right now, so we settle. And because we make the conscious decision to settle we shouldn't complain about what we don't have.

You have to work to get what you want. Everyone knows that (if you didn't, now you do). If you want Chipotle, you have to get up and take yourself to Chipotle. If you want a party girl, you have to get up and take yourself to a party. If you want an intelligent girl, go to class...trust me she'll be there. If you want a girl who is immersed in Christ, you have to be in Christ yourself.

Of course, you won't need everything you want and you won't want everything you need. But the point is to get anything worthwhile, you'll have to get up and go get it. "...faith without work is dead" {James 2:20}
