Five Minute Friday: Path

I didn't think this would be my path, its not what I had laid out in my mind way back when. When I laid around with friends at slumber parties, talking about what our lives would look like when we were grown up. I didn't think I'd want to be a stay-at-home mama. I didn't even figure out that I loved it until I was thrown into it and realized it was exactly where I was supposed to be. Even then, I didn't think I'd ever enjoy cooking for my family. I do now. I didn't picture myself in the place I'm at now but its SO MUCH BETTER. God is so great to give us blessings more than we can ever imagine.

I've been walking around in the woods a lot lately with the kids and they always run ahead and I'm just following. They choose the path. Sometimes its a dead end. Then we turn and go back. Sometimes they pick the barely-there path instead of the finely manicured obviously the-right-way-to-go path. And I follow along. I pick up little people when they fall, brush their hands off, pat their bottoms and send them forward again. I call out, "Don't leave us behind!" and hope that the one with the longest legs will wait for the one with the smallest legs to catch up.

I think a lot about what my future picture will look like. I tell myself that it can't look better than it looks now. And then I remind myself that I have no idea what God has in store. I don't know where the path is going. But I'm sure happy to find out, and enjoy the walk along the way!
