My Hopes: the Realistic Version
Posted in The Life of the Historian on 05/06/2009 12:51 am by RonnicaI’m not saying that I’ve given up my dreams of being a wife and mother (after all, I’m only 26), but I know that it’s not something to make an actual goal. I have no interest in trying to hook a man, and have full confidence in God to provide me a husband if that’s the path He wants me to go on (that said, I am still trying to come out of my shell more with men…). Regardless of what the future looks like, I’m going to work on becoming the best woman that I can be.
With that in mind, here’s the Plan B of my future plans:
1 year from now: I would like to be working where I am now, continuing to improve my skills at my various responsibilities and gaining more. I also would like to have most/all of an emergency fund stashed away, something that’s only in the infancy stages right now. I’d like to have grown closer to my church family and continued writing curriculum and teaching Sunday school. (most of these things are really a part of Plan A, too)
5 years from now: I think I’d like to own a home. Or at least live in one, because I would like a garden. Maybe I will have pursued becoming a teacher, as I love children/tweens/teens and teaching. I hope to be continuing to grow personally and spiritually. Growing as a writer is also high on my dream list, as I love to write, but I don’t know that I necessarily want to aim at being published.
10 years from now: More of the same, I suppose. I would also like to either serve the Lord overseas for an extended time or regularly encourage those who are (I’m currently leaning towards the later).
What do you hope your future looks like?
