Ok so my cousin just had a baby boy. It was a month in a half early and had the cord wrapped around its neck...how sad! Plus this poor guy doesn't even have a name yet because he came so early haha. But that is not the reason why i am writing this blog. You see my cousin was always the type that NEVER wanted to get married..let alone have children. Her dream was to be a brain surgeon and adopt 2 little African girls. HAHAHA...that dream obviously never happened. So when she got engaged at the end of high school we were shocked! And when she got pregnant a year later, we were seriously floored! But i am really happy for her. She has a wonderful husband and now a new baby christmas present! But all of this stuff just got me thinking... what we picture our selves doing in 5 or 10 years, or what we want for ourselves in the future is definetly not always what is going to happen. Most of the time God has much bigger and better things ahead. That helps me because sometimes i get hung up on how to get that certain guys attention, or how i am going to break the news to my parents that i failed yet another bio test. But i have started to realize that no matter what we think or do Gods will, will always happen. I mean im not saying to fail every test and turn into a hag because nothing matters anymore. Im just saying that it helps and can be a comfort, especially when we are all trying to figure our who and what we want to be, or what college we want to go to, or any of that. It is so easy to get wrapped up in what we want and the way we want our life to go..but if my cousin had applied for medical school instead of getting married she would not be where she is today. That doesn't mean not to follow your dreams though. i guess i just realized that dreams can change...actually they usually do.
