Thinking About Where I See Myself In Another Ten Years…

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

No one can predict the future. Most times, I have a hard time thinking about what I need to do in the next hour, let alone in ten years from now.

My times are not my own. I live in the presence of God. He is in control. Sure on a natural level, I need to make sure I have money for the future, so I put something up for retirement.

I make provisions for repairs and things I may need to succeed in my endeavors, but I do not rely on them. I rely on God. Things may go wrong. Health may fail. People my walk away, but God is there forever, and he is in control.

But I am human. I dream of a happy future where I am successful as a writer, and now I prep the stage for that. But my heart is not fixed on this because life gets in the way, and disappointment leads to frustration and anger.

I am flexible, and I go with the flow and make up another dream when the first does not pan out.
