Some things have been going on in my family that few people know all about. This stuff has hurt me, scared me, left me worried, & my mind spinning. All of it sort of had to do with the one part of life that every human loves most- plans, control, etc. We like to have a plan, a strategy of some sort. Even the most UNorganized and spur of the moment people have some semblance of an idea where they want to go with life.
What if I told you that "plans" were what get us into trouble? Someone once said that a good way to make God laugh is to make plans. Well, recently my family experienced this all too close to home. We had planned to go on a family vacation, a rare thing for all of us to get to attend since we're scattered across the states. When the plans fell through we could either be upset about it or make the best of it. So we made the best off it. We got to know each other in a deeper way. We discovered strengths we each possess & made our family stronger as a whole. One night we talked about our individual life goals for the next 10 years; I learned a lot that night.
I think there is healing in knowing and learning that there is a plan in place that's not yours and that will always turn out for the best.
I thought I would share my ideal plan for my next 10 years and where I want to be, but this in no way is saying that this is where I will be.
1. I want to go to med school.
2. I want to meet people all over the world by going there and serving.
3. I want to be a doctor.
4. I want to skydive.
5. I want to write a book.
6. I want to get married.
7. I want to adopt.
8. I want a to live on a farm with horses & pigs.
