How often do things not go according to your plan? Well pretty often. I have always been such a planner. Maybe its the Virgo in me, maybe its the way I was raised, maybe its just because I am so busy that if I didn’t plan, I would probably go crazy haha. Well things don’t always go as you want. I never mentioned last year when I was laid off from my job. I asked for prayers, and support, but some things I just keep to myself. I know that MY plan and Gods plan may be two totally different things. Part of me is excited to see what he has in store for me and then the other part of me would love to look into a crystal ball and see where I will be in 5 -10 years. I am a firm believer in everything happens for a reason. I was laid off from that job to find the amazing job I have now. I have never felt so comfortable, welcome and respected at a job. The people I work with are a joy to be around and I look forward to come into the office. NEVER thought in a million years I would feel that way.
I always envisioned myself being married by 25, CHECK…. having a baby by 28…. well that may not happen but I guess we will see.. I know I am meant to be a mom. I just LOVE kids. My nieces and nephew are the light in my life. Watching them grow up, hearing them say aunt t-ra, just melts my heart. Drew and I have had set backs with both of our jobs that have delayed us from starting a family. We are starting to get where we want to be to bring a little one into the world. I have fears of infertility, I have fears of just being pregnant. It goes back to the unknown plan God has for me. I know in my bones I will have a baby someday and If I knew when, I would be counting down the days. The planner in me already knows how I will tell yall too : ) haha
So I guess I am starting this week off on a emotional high, but with a smile on my face. The future may be unknown to all of us, but we have the ease knowing we will never be given more thant we can handle.
Have a blessed week guys! XOXO
Love your perspective. I'm in this same boat. Feeling let down because my timing and God's timing haven't aligned, but I know that His plan is much greater than anything I could invision for myself. So I trust that He, who works all things together for his good, is in charge and has plans to give me hope for the future! Happy Monday!
Love your outlook, that's how I've always felt. Although, Sometimes God has to smack me upside the head because I'm not listening…that usually gets my attention. LOL
Have a wonderful week!
Totally in the same place as you are baby wise.
Positive Outlook Tara!! 🙂 Great, meaningful post! Love this!
Very sweet Tara!! 😉
I really needed to read this blog today. I ahve been having the same feelings about my job, kids, and my life in general and wondering if I am where I feel that I need to be. Thanks for speaking the truth and letting us all know that we are not alone!
Love you, Tara! Everything will work out in His time. 🙂
I always try and plan my life and the events in my life and then they never seem to turn out that way. It's so hard to trust God sometimes and leave it up to Him, but He seems to know what He's doing. You have a great attitude! Give Him your fears! I had lots of fears before I got pregnant also, and He took care of them all. Now I just fear never losing this baby weight! HA!
I have the same anxiety. I NEED to plan but there as so many things that just can't be planned or won't go as we plan!
Great post Tara! You're so right, it never happens the way you think it will happen but just keep the Faith and know it will all work out! : )
You have such a great perspective and are so right! We've gone through several things that we kept saying, we trust God we trust God but were still worrying and trying to plan toooo much, and finally fully let go and let God be in control, and were so blessed by that. You are such a great auntie, your nieces and nephew are SO blessed to have you (I know I've said it before, but it's true!), I can't wait to hear your exciting news one day! 🙂
You were be a great mama when the time comes, and I can't wait to see how cute you'll be pregnant 🙂
