Where will YOU be in 5 years...


I've been thinking a lot lately about life...where I am...where I thought I would be by now...and where I want to be.  I realize that life isn't always going to take you where you thought it would, when it should, when you want it, but once you find your purpose I truly believe you will get there.  

I always loved playing the 'Where do you see yourself in 5 years?'  Had you asked me that same question 5 years ago....here's what my response would be:

1.  Married to Stefan
2.  A kid or 2 
3.  Working happily
4.  Living in a house
5.  Happy

Here's where I am today:

1.  Married to Stefan
2.  No Kids...2 cats
3.  Working...sometimes happily
4.  Renting a home in North Carolina
5.  Happy...mostly

I would say that I didn't fall to far from where I thought, and for sure the most important is number 1...he is my number 1.  Due to some unforeseen circumstances a number of my responses have changed...and that's not necessarily a bad thing.  Some days I get sad that we don't have children yet, or that we don't own a home...but I understand why and I know that when I have fully discovered my purpose in this life the rest will come to be.  

For now, I will live life for my Lord and Savior and I know that I will be blessed in life with the things that I need, when the timing is right and when I've fulfilled my life's purpose.  

So where will I be 5 years from now?  I don't know...and I'm starting to become okay with that.
