18 Years Ago.

18 years ago, I was a teenager, not too attached to any one place or thing or people. I wanted to be a missionary, a single woman working with a group of people to bring the good news of salvation to a people for whom that message was new. That was my plan. That was not God's plan. He had me stay here in the U.S., in the same county where I was born, and meet and marry Mr. M, etc., etc. I am very happy with where I am and who I am, and I know that this is God's will for me. I do share His good news with my neighbors, and encourage the kids in our campus Bible study to share with other students, some of whom are from other countries that don't permit Christian beliefs. What about you? What did you envision for your life 5,10,15 years ago? Did that come to pass, or did God have other plans for you?

You know, there was a time in my life when I was in despair because I desperately wanted children and thought I couldn't have them. Then, God blessed me with three. Always in his time, not ours.

The main thing about my path in life is that it has NEVER played out the way I wanted, but it has been wonderful and I'm thankful every day that God didn't always give me what I wanted at the time. For instance, I thought I wanted to marry a man and was so sad when we broke up. Then, I met Jim, who is everything a husband and father should be. I could just go on and on, Jennifer.

This is a great post and I think you have inspired me to write one of my own. Thank you.
