Future thinking, hmm.  I recently just changed jobs as most of you know so my 5-15 year (work)future looks much different than it did a month ago.  I am excited as to what this opportunity holds for me.
I think the best years are yet to come in all aspects of my life.  My life with my family, the boys continue to grow into little men. I see my failures and the victories I have achieved as a mother, as a role model, as a wife to their dad.  I can not change the past but pray that as we move into the next 5 years, they understand the love I have for them, the love God shows them everyday through people and circumstances.  10 years from now... that is not as far away as I once would have thought.  I ask God for those days to be filled with much laughter and surrounded with love.  I am not naive enough to hope for a storm free life.  I want to be able to navigate those waters with integrity and wisdom.  Taking the council I need from my God and Rock. Advice from solid people that tell me what I need to hear not what I want to hear as well.  15 years from now I think my life will be much different then what it looks like now. The boys will have stepped out of the house, both adults, on their own living a life that is completely of their own choices and decisions.  A little scary to think of that right now but it is bound to come.  I hope that they will always feel comfortable coming to me or to Troy for advice and help if they need it.  As for myself, I long to do a little more travelling in the future.
With those few things said, tomorrow is not guaranteed to anyone! So I try to live today, in the moment, plans and future thinking, yes, but not to obsess over it.  To know where I have come from but not to live in those past mistakes or successes.  God has my path all laid out for me, I just really want to follow it with out too many long cuts:)
