Did you know according to my plans…
I was supposed to be about 3 inches taller.
About 50lbs lighter.
Have straight, glorious hair.
Birth five children and adopt a few more
…the most beautiful babies you’ve ever seen by the way.
Have traveled the world.
Found my passion right after graduation.
Own a huge, spotless, Pinterest approved house.
Be debt free.
Be wiser.
Less envious.
My list is so much longer and far more superficially than you might imagine. Today, I laugh at this.
His plans are bigger and better. Right now, I’m certain. Tomorrow I might waver and the day after that be overcome with disbelief.
I think these things. They’re a great weakness. My heart knows better and it’s a daily struggle to convince my skepticism. I’m posting this because I need to read these words that are finally said “out loud”, such immature thoughts, because I know that I’ll need to rewind to this reality check… sooner than you might think.
Have you read the book Bittersweet? I just started it so only about 60 pages in, but already enjoying it! There was this chapter about "things I don't do". So often we make lists full of expectations of what we should be doing, need to be doing, how things should be. Basically DO THINGS BETTER list. I am SO guilty of that!! She instead made a list of things she does well, and then things she doesn't do and to lose expectation of those things.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, just ordered it and accidently got two so I get to bless someone else with it!
