Okay, those are not my goals by the time I am thirty, but today was spent looking at my goals for the future. Unlike the girl in 13 Going on 30, I do not get another chance at living life. No magic dust for me. I have to be wise, like the five virgins in Matthew 25, who planned ahead or the slaves who were entrusted with talents and invested. In the past, I thought it bad to plan ahead, for scripture does says "So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself." (Matthew 6:34) I took this to mean I shouldn't plan out to much or at all. However, the day the Lord comes back is not known and I have been given jobs to accomplish and gifts to use. I hope to use however long I am here on earth to serve the Lord in what He has called me to do.
With that, I have many decisions to make, but the biggest I made up back in December. After living in northern Virginia for a year and a half, I am moving home to the desert. I had never planned to live here for the long haul, especially considering most of my family resides in the Phoenix area. Family is really important to me and in my life are the greatest influences. I am really going to miss my church, friends, and co-workers in Virginia. I wise person told me that those feelings are good, because that means I built into my community here.
