I Have A Hope

So I will be 28 next week. Twenty Eight. Sounds so old. I’m close to 30. Twenty Seven just sounds so much younger. 28 and Single sounds like I either have a commitment phobia or am a cat lady. HA!

I’ll get over it though. Not gonna dwell on the “I’m single and I hate it” topic. It bores me and no one wants to hear it. So let’s try another subject.

Kids.

Do I want to have them? I need to start deciding before my eggs dry up. I don’t really know if I want to have kids!!! Does anyone else have this problem? I know I would be a great mother. One of those cool moms who doesn’t drive a MiniVan. But after working with twelve adolescent teenage boys on a daily basis, it’s really made me consider having a child. UGHH….I don’t know. I guess I’ll just wait till I get a man, then decide. You know, depending on the guy, I would have to ask myself…”Is this the man I want my kids to spend their weekend with???” Ha! Small joke I’ve heard before. I don’t believe in divorce. That’s why I’m picky about who I date. I want to be married for 50 years, holding hands out on the front porch swinging in our rocking chairs. Ahhh….one can only dream.
So back to my job, I really like it most days. But other days I don’t and am still searching for a better one. I have applied at one that I really hope I get. But we will see what God’s plan is.

God’s Plan…..hmmmm…..don’t you wish you knew what God had in store for your life. Or if you don’t believe in God….don’t you wonder what’s around the corner? You know….I think it’s just awesome to know that God directs my path and has good things in store for me. My favorite Bible verse is “For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” That’s Jeremiah 29:11

That verse gives me hope. It lets me know I don’t have to sit around worrying about my future, that God Has a Plan for me! And everyone else! Just thought I’d share that.

I went to the Extraordinary Women’s Conference at Freedom Hall last weekend. We sang this song that’s really good and I wanted to share it.

Here’s the song….



I hope that song gives you hope. God Bless!
