Love. Family. Career...I want it all. |
The future is a big place, we could be talking 5 minutes from now or 50 years. For all intents and purposes, I will go middle of the road here and share what I would like my life to look like in 10 years. In the order that I would like them to come - Boo, Home, Career, Progeny.
The Boo
My sincere hope is that I fall deeply and ridiculously in love with a man who is my best friend. I fancy whimsy enough to want romance but I'm practical enough to know that has the ability to fade and waiver. This is why having a solid friendship is important. Amicable relationships are based on loyalty, respect, understanding and honesty - all things that will serve as building blocks for a healthy marriage. Earlier in the challenge I noted some of the qualities I like in men and I entrust that God will bring a man my way that possesses them. I can't remember if I said it then but if not, I'll say it now. I want a man who taps into God's heart for me and showers me with a love so pure that I blossom under it. I want to share a love that is rooted in Christ and a marriage that it is as much about seeing God's kingdom established in the external world as it is in our home.

Home
Oh, how I look forward to having my own home someday. One of my besties and I were talking about this recently and I shared that I want to create a home that is like a safe haven, a place of rest and refuge for anyone who needs it. I want to have a home that is welcoming, spacious and sorta chill overall. It should have a kitchen that facilitates food making and fellowship, a master bath where I can soak my cares away and have ample outdoor space to play and grow things in. It should also have space enough for my children (biological and adopted) to claim for self.
Career
I want my life's work to center on seeing the quality of others lives improved through educational empowerment. I've got a road map and the first step would be grad school in the next few years. While I feel I know what I want to do past that point, I want to be prudent in articulating things in season.
Progeny
I want the babies - three to be exact. As long as I can remember, I've seen motherhood as being a part of my dreams. If I have any say I want 2 boys and a girl and want to adopt. I remember reading something years ago where a woman spoke of having children bore of her heart and I think that's such a beautiful way to describe adoption. My desire is to have the space, material and emotional resources to give my munchkins a life full of love and experience that will prepare them to live whatever it is God has called them into.
So 10 years from now I hope to have an awesome husband, beautiful home, fulfilling career and awesome children. Let's see how all this works out.
