Life is funny. When I think of the life I planned out for myself fifteen years ago and compare it to how it’s actually turned out, I have to laugh at the drastic differences. I never thought I would marry a younger man. I never dreamed I would become a dog lover (there, I admitted it). And I never imagined I would live on the Eastern Shore. But Real Life isn’t like a novel that I can outline and write the way I think it should happen.
Sometimes other people make decisions that change the course of your life, and sometimes God leads you in a direction you would have never chosen for yourself. When it’s all said and done, all we can do is pray for wisdom, walk by faith through each twist and turn, and trust God to get us where He wants us to be.
I like to think of God as the Editor-In-Chief of my life, taking the ideas I submit to Him and rejecting them or suggesting changes to make them better. I’m both the writer and the character in my own life story, but ultimately, I’m not in control of where my story goes.
Personally, I’m not a big fan of surprises. But I guess it keeps things interesting!
