A Letter to Myself

I know the heading sounds a little crazy, but as a senior in high school my English teacher asked us to write a letter to ourselves to see if we accomplished the things that we thought we wanted to do at that time. She would mail them to our parents or the address to where we thought we would be five years later.
Well, the five years has happened, and the letter went to my parents house. I got it over the weekend and sat down to read it. My parents read it a laughed a lot. I noticed that my handwriting was awful!! I'm glad I write better now!
As I read the letter, I realized I'm not a school teacher working on getting into grad. school, Andrew and I don't live in Florida, and I never went to Blue Mountain. These were my dreams as a high school senior. It's neat that God has other plans for us and has His hand in everything that we do. Dreams come and go, and mine sure did.
Some of the good things that happened from reading my dreams, I did marry Andrew, and he is finally going to school where he wanted to in Florida. We waited long enough for it that the school made it in to a online program! He's living his dream and that makes me happy. I'm glad that they did that because we didn't have to move there. It would have been so hard to go through everything that we have been through living that far away. Maybe sometime in life Andrew can work for Disney. However, it's all in God's hands. Everything happens in His time.
I loved going back to think of my life before everything started going down hill as a lack for better words. Life seemed so simple back then. I feel I'm wiser, definitely older, but glad I've been through everything that I have. It's going to be hard to keep everything going, but I know I can make it with the help of the good Lord above. It was great looking back, but I can only change my future!
