When I think about the way I thought my life was going to go, I feel sad. It's not to say that I wont do those things, just not quite in the way that I thought I'd do them.

Dreaming is good, and important. But I'm learning not to over plan my life. Instead I'm trusting God to sit in the driver's seat. The years to come are going to be a surprise and I'm excited to see what's going to happen. When I have too specific of a plan in my head, I spend time grieving the loss of that image when it doesn't come to pass. I now rather just make loose plans and enjoy the ride.
