A Month of Natalie - Future


Where do you see yourself in 5 years? 10 years? 15 Years?

This is such a crazy question. I used to think like this but the older I get the more I know that the Lord rarely sends me where I think I am going. Hopefully, five years from now we will have at least three children (we have two right now). I will have a teenager since Ezra will be 13, oh man that is a scary thought. Elisha will be 10. Hopefully Brandon will be established in some of job or career doing something that he loves and my personal goal is to have published some of what I write (which includes homeschool curriculum, devotional material for women, and creative fiction.)

In ten years Ezra will be an adult (technically voting age), Elisha will be getting ready to drive, and who knows what Brandon and I will be doing. We both would really like to own and operate a ministry retreat center so who knows where we will be with that dream. Fifteen years is so far out that I almost can’t imagine it. Although, I have always joked that I want to have two children in my early twenties, check, two in my early thirties (not quite there yet), and two in my early forties. Now that I am a little older, wiser, and more tired, I realize this is maybe not such a fantastic idea, but then again God does have a funny way of reminding and bringing to pass random things you have said. If that were the case, at 43 years of age, I might have young children in the house. (Maybe I can adopt those though. J)
