We live in a world when everyone is expected to accomplish certain things by a certain age. Things like figure out what you want to do with your life before you enter High School, get your G1 when your 16, drink your first beer when you are 19. Go to college right away, marry your college boyfriend etc.
Well according to these cultural things I'm way behind! I thought I had the career part figured out early on. I would be a doctor that delivered babies, no a Interior Decorator...no interior designer. I planned to take a year off and that turned into 7 years, but God got a hold of my heart and showed me what He wanted from me that my mom knew WAY before me. A two year prayer process that lead me to Heritage and into the Intercultural program where I plan to serve in Full Term missions in the future. Hopefully sooner rather than later.
I had my G1 at 16, but then when I went for the G2 test I was very nervous with a literally shaking leg. I failed as I ran a stop sign, meaning I came to a rolling stop and turned. When I was asked why I did that I had no answer and failed on the spot. I decided I just wasn't ready as my G1 expired in 10 days! I have wanted to get it again, but realistically it just doesn't make sense since I am in another city other than my family. I'm older and have no one to just take me out for a drive really. I hate to put anyone out, but especially at their expense of time, money and their car! So until there is someone tied to me that has had their license a while the whole license thing will be put on hold.
Drink my first beer...well that's not my thing at all! lol...
I ended up with a boyfriend in college, but that was short lived so no marriage came of it.
Yes, I may be 32 at a dead end job that I do not enjoy in the least, but God has a plan (just might take me a while to get there). I may not have a drivers license, but I get around. I may not drink, but I have lots of fun with my family and friends and I still remember everything! I went to college and did what I believe God called me to do and will continue to follow His Will for as long as He leads (which will be forever!). Marriage or even a relationship for that matter will happen when it happens, yes it would be nice to have. Holding a hand or being the recipient of a hug is always a wonderful thing, not to mention the feeling of love being received by someone who was not born into your family. However, I have to trust that God will supply that want, as He is still working on me and refining me to be a vessel for Him to use for His Honour and Glory.
*Note* This is a reminder to myself, just as much as it may be a reminder to you my dear readers.
