What do you want to be when you grow up?

It's one of those days, the kind that seem to drag on forever. Have you ever had one of those days? That's rhetorical, I know you have...I need a plan, a goal a milestone to reach to let me know that I think my life is and was worth something. I don't want 20 years to go by and look back and regret what my life was, what I did or did not accomplish. I want to have made a difference. There are many people that are great at a lot of things and some make beautiful careers out of these things, I want to be one of those people. The ones that know that they are making a difference because they believe in what they are doing!


My daughter, Josephine changes her mind all the time with what she wants to be when she grows up. Some days it's a butterfly engineer but most of the time it's a cowgirl. I hope that works out for her :) I remember thinking I would be a brain surgeon, mostly because my dad wanted me to be and I thought that sounded good...and now when my daughter asks me what I want to be when I grow up I coyly mention "a mommy" and she laughs and tells me "you already are a mommy, you have to pick something else" so I say a book reader, that's a real career right? And she once again laughs at me and tells me to pick something better.


"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." -Jeremiah 29:11


I have to believe that the Lord will lead me in the direction that he has set forth for me, that he knows my strengths and weaknesses and that my future is in his hands. I will have faith. Whether I'm to be a working mommy or a stay at home mommy, he will guide me down the path he has set forth for me.



Sometimes I need faith just to believe...
