Matt and I have been thinking a lot about how we want to live our lives this week and what we want for our little family in the here and now as well as the future. It's hard to plan a future because it is ultimately not our plan we need to be following. I think it's okay to set goals although and pray about feeling led to one place or another. It's funny how life speeds up and a year will go by without notice. Last year at this time, we were recently engaged and living apart. Now we are 2 months into our marriage and I'm not even sure where the time went. My Granny Black always tells me to slow down and enjoy every minute because ultimately, it all goes so fast. She would obviously know!
I love our life and am content in the present but it's hard not to look toward the future. And I guess I'm wondering why that is? Yes, life is full of surprises and many great things (Lord willing) will come our way but I can't even begin to count our blessings in this stage of life we are in now. I just don't want to wish my life away, always looking toward the next big thing. It wasn't until age 24, just last year, that I really stood back and realized how fast life was flying by. I can only imagine it will pass by at a quicker pace from here on out.
With that said, we decided to make sure to always pursue our passions, take time out of busy life to visit friends and family, and make sure we enjoy each day independent of what tomorrow brings. There will never be more money, a more convenient time, or an easier way to do what you put off for next year so let's just make sure we're living our life to its full potential each day.
Have a great week!
