If I’m like you, we both had all kinds of awesome plans for our lives when we were young. Finding a spouse, raking in the dough, maybe being a superhero. We just knew that there were great things in store for us. What about now?

I read a quote that sums up how we can feel as we get older, “Oh how daily life is.” All these hopes can get lost, or worse, squashed. I didn’t become a superhero, but I’d look terrible in spandex. I tried raking in the dough, but it is better if you bake it and eat it. At this time, I will not address the third dream.

What does that mean? Have I failed? It feels like that sometimes, but I know better. It isn’t that I didn’t achieve what I planned, I didn’t plan what I achieved. So I’m not where I thought I’d be. Perhaps I should look at it as I’m where I need to be, at this point.

When we start to question why God did this or that to us, I think we should stop at look at where we’re at. Yes, it might not be where we need to be, but wouldn’t it be more likely that we did it? If I was told the paint was wet, who’s fault is it that I touched it?

However, maybe we are where we need to be. It isn’t that we have strayed off course, it’s that God put us back on the right course.
