The Future

Marty was a pretty lucky guy. He got to zip to the future and see the woman that he married and his kids all grown up - even the job he had. That must have been nice to have confirmation (or warning ;) of things to come...especially if it were things that we'd be unsure of.

If someone would have told me 8, 10 years ago how my life would be now, I probably would have laughed in their face. I would have definitely thought it cool, but would not believe it nonetheless. It is so amazing how things have turned out; the wonderful, beautiful woman that I married, the adorable and smart kids that we have, and a great journey together that has led to this point. No, we're not wealthy by any means...financially, but we are definitely rich in God's blessings. And He takes care of us everyday and gets us through. I guess what I'm trying to say, is that God is great. He leads us on this path, and though sometimes rough and sometimes hard, He is always there in the end - with something amazing.

Ten years ago I thought I had it all figured out, and I thought that my life would be a certain way and with certain people ten years from then. Thank God that it didn't end up that way. Thank God for guiding me on a path that led to the wonderful "things" that I have now. To Jennifer, to Jaden, to Jacee, to family, to health, to life.

To rely on God and His timing is definitely a hard act, but is so worth it. And to think of the many, many blessings that I have missed out on because I was not 'there' when God had them for me. Though the future is still unclear, relying on God and looking to Him for guidance, is something that I will try and try to not take for granted any longer.
Lord, keep my eyes open!
