Hope For The FutureSample

Beginning

I had plans. I was a good girl. I was getting great grades and I was on my way to success. My parents always told me I could do anything. I was going to become a doctor.

I loved my family. They were what I depended on to encourage me along the way. But they weren’t what the world would call successful. My dad was a cook in the Army, my mom was a housewife, and my brother was unmotivated. 

But I would graduate with honors, go to Harvard, Yale or Princeton – whichever one had the best medical program. I might get married, but I would not have kids. They were too snot-nosed and whiny and would get in the way of everything I had planned. 

Life was going to be great.

Now think about YOUR story.

What were some of your dreams as a child?

What did you want to be when you grew up?

If your life was a fairy tale, how would the story go?

PRAYER: Lord, my life isn’t going like I expected. But I know it’s no surprise to You. So I will look to You and find hope.
