Little girls often have big dreams. As we grow up, reality
seems to usually force those big dreams into the recesses
of our minds. There are a lot of people out there who resent
the fact that their lives wound up in different directions than
they wanted them to go. It's usually not our choice. Maybe
certain responsibilities weighed on our shoulders, or finances
might have played a role. Whatever the reason, reality did
not measure up to those dreams.
You have two choices. You can sit back, pout and be bitter -
or you can learn to embrace the adventure God has chosen
for you. For when things are unplanned, they are really
adventures aren't they? It's all in how you look at it. There is
so much in our daily world that we can find to make us happy.
So many opportunities sit untapped.
I want to encourage all of us as women and mothers to take
our dreams and put them into our lives again. Stop feeling
sorry for yourself because your life went down a different path.
Embrace the new direction you are in! Turn whatever you've
got into a new dream for yourself and for your family.
What you make of your life is up to you. Attitude will carry you
farther than you ever could have dreamed. I pray that wherever
you are on the road of life that you can conquer the turns and
twists and make happiness out of each curve for yourself and
for your family.
