Best laid plans

When I was a little girl I had a lot of dreams...

I wanted to be a writer..

A dancer..

A musician..

Not just one but all..

I wanted to travel the world...

I always dreamed of living in a city..

Now I look at my life..

With 2 young children..

and a 3 on the way..

I look back at what I thought I would be like..

What I thought I would have accomplished..

What I thought my story would be..

And reality is so much better..

Snuggles from 2 babies..

A husband who loves me...

I am so glad God knows best..

I am so glad our best laid plans and dreams

are no where near as wonderful as the plans He has..

And my story.. our families story is just beginning..

"For I know the plans I have for you."

Declares the Lord,

"plans to prosper you

and not harm you

, plans to give you a hope

and a future."

Jeremiah 29:11

I needed that perspective check today.
