Introspective

Do you ever have those days where you spend a large majority of the time looking into yourself and just thinking about life? How it used to be...how it is now...and compared to how you thought it would be when you were little. Today is one of those days for me.

Gabriel is currently napping (after an AWESOME night of sleep btw, not a peep out of him from 10 - 5) and I'm looking around at my house, the life that I've built with my husband, and I am just so thankful. It's nothing like I thought it would be when I was in high school. I was such a different person then, I had different goals. At the time, I wasn't even sure I wanted to ever get married, and I definitely didn't want children. I was certain that I would go to college after high school and then after college I would be a psychologist or something along those lines, and spend a lot of time in community theatre. I never pictured a family and the life I have now. And I definitely never thought that I would someday come to know and love Jesus. I was one of those people who tended to think Christians were a little off their rocker for believing in someone who, in my opinion, could never have existed.

How thankful I am that my life did not turn out the way I planned. That God led it in a totally different direction. God is so good. My life has been very blessed and today is one of those days that I just couldn't be happier.
