I've always had my ideas of what I wanted my future to look like... and then reality set in and life happened differently. Some of my dreams were shelved. But despite how unachievable or impossible I think they may be, and no matter how dusty or forgotten I let them become, God still has a way of making sure they generate a shorter shelf-life then I had orginially intended.
I've visited 13 countries, I have a career I absolutely love working in ministry and my new apartment has the claw-footed tub and loft space I've always wanted! These are all dreams I'd given up for one reason or another. And yet these are all dreams I've come to live.
Maybe it's because I've accepted that these things might never be. Because for me, to live is Christ but to die is gain. Or maybe its because I'm not rich or famous or both and the greater part of my life is still misspent - according to the world's standards. But I don't think myself a failure.
My life is exactly the way I thought it to be. Completely unwritten in what I know and totally surrendered to the Faithfulness I know best. I live each day believing that inbetween all of my broken cookie-cutter plans, my God will still give me the desires of my heart. They just may present themselves a little differently then expected that's all.
