The future. The excitement...the nervousness...the unknown. I used to be able to answer the question "Where do you see yourself in four years?" fairly easily. Now, that's not the case. Sure, I know things that I would like to accomplish, and I have a general road map with a destination in mind. But, the exact left and right turns that I will take to get there, not so much.
Right now, I am almost perfectly content with my life. I have a fantastic job that I love. I have close friends that I don't see as much as I wish, but I love them to death. I have a roof over my head, currently with free rent. I am looking to getting an apartment soon and starting my adult life. That's the present and short-term future.
The long term...you may have to wait for that answer. I know what I'd like to happen: seminary, find work in a great church/religious organization, find the right person for me, cure cancer (well, not really). However, I don't know where I'll be in the next 9 months let alone the next years of my life! I used to think I had it all planned out, but God has a way of showing me that he still knows better than I do.
So, what I'd like my future to look like (eventually): At least a master's degree, possibly doctorate, a happy family with a loving husband and a couple (or more) kids, a great job that I love waking up to every day, a happy and full like surrounded by people I love.
I really just want to be happy. Whatever that looks like.
