Should’ve Done…
As I sat in a studio taking my Senior portraits this weekend, there was a mother looking through some photos with her son. She was in her mid-40’s and while looking at the photos said, “I would love this job. You know, I have a knack for taking photos… I should’ve done that as a career and followed my dream.” She then quickly closed the book, and sighed heavily as though regretting the path that her life ended up taking.
I don’t want that. I don’t want to live my life in a manner that 30 yrs. down the road, I wish I would’ve done my passion or followed my dream. I want to live my life doing what I love, and I want to live my life knowing that when God called me to something (no matter how crazy it was), I did it. I want to leave a legacy that when God called me to move or to jump, I responded by, “How high?!”
Don’t live your life in regret. It’s not too late to turn around, and follow that dream that you’ve always dreamt. The crazy big passion you have for something, use it! God put it in you for a reason, and it’s not to wish you would’ve acted upon it!

Country Cuban
Ileana Ortiz (a.k.a. Country Cuban) is the Director of Online Communities at Flamingo Road Church. She is a Jesus lover, people lover, and a world changer. Her family has seriously impacted the way she lives her life. She gets her sense of humor and passion for helping others, from her mom. She gets her business sense and realistic expectations from her dad. She wishes she could match the game of her little sister, because her little sister has had more boyfriends in her 7 year life span, than Ileana has ever met, in her 17 years of living. She loves to think of herself as a comedian, and hopes that people are laughing with her, not at her. She is constantly being mistaken for celebrities such as Shakira, Jennifer Lopez, Penelope Cruz, Jessica Alba, Beyonce, Taylor Swift, and Angelina Jolie. She also happens to enjoy reading, writing, some good country music, all things tech, and when autumn rolls around.... a frothy Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks! I guess you could just say that she is your average 17 year old.. well.. not really.
