Is anybody’s life what we expect it to be from any point in our lives to this day?

When I pictured my life as a child, I saw myself without financial problems, with a happy family and life. It never materialized the way I pictured it.

When I graduated from high school, I pictured myself going to college, getting married, and having a loving family. It didn’t work out the way I pictured it.

One year ago I pictured myself as staying in this apartment, in this complex until the Lord called me home. It’s not what I pictured it. I will be moving. I don’t know when.

What we expect from life and what actually happens are two different things. I had dreams as a child about how I wanted my life to be. God had another plan.

When I got married, I dreamed about a happily ever after marriage and a loving family. God had another plan.

My life is nothing like what I planned. However, my life is everything God planned for me and I wouldn’t change it for anything. I would rather live in His plans than my plans. His plans always work out for my best.

I live a single life. I have three children, six grandchildren and three great grandchildren. I divorced after twenty-one years of marriage. Do I regret the divorce. No. It was the best thing that could happen. Do I regret my children? No, they are all wonderful, even the one who disowned me. Do I regret any part of my life? No. Without the problems, trials, and achievements, I wouldn’t be where I am today.

God has a plan for my life. I need to embrace His plan every day and walk in it.

Thanks for reading. I would love to hear about your expectations.
