Where will I be?
I was just reading an article that really hit home for me. Where will I be in five more years? When I look back at my own life, I can see where I started to resent responsibility. I can also see where I should have taken more responsibility and made better decisions. What’s done is done and we can only go from here, though.
I would hope that I am still married in 5 years with a well behaved dog named Coby still in tow. I would hope that my son is proving himself to be a well adjuste, well rounded 9 year old. I would hope that I have at least one book in circulation on the market that is doing well. I would also hope that I am better by then…much better than now mentally. I would hope that I am no longer festering in my own guilt and anger. I would pray that I would no longer have thoughts of harming myself or worse.
Who can say where I will be in 5 more years? I just pray that it is all better than it is now.

Thanks for dropping by my corner today. I LOVE the 5 year outlook. So much can happen in that time, yet it’s not so long that you can’t wrap your brain around it. Forward thinking can truly help propel greatness. Seeing is the first step.
Hugs,

You know what? I love you, so I am just going to give you some unasked for advice. That guilt? It’s not from God. And if it’s not from Him, it’s from the pit. He came that you could have life and have it more abundantly. Without negating what you are going through, can I encourage you to reach out your hand and grasp the promise? None of us can change what has already been done. The Good News is that He loved us even then. He has a plan for you, a plan for good and not for evil.
Who knows where any of us will be in 5 years. I’ve had so many changes in my life that I’d never anticipated. So any 5 year plan I’d ever made likely would never have materialized. One thing I’ll say, though, it’s been a hell of a ride.
