Graham and I
walked around the local park by our house for a long, long time last night. We
talked pretty extensively about our future, everything that might happen. Both of us have felt very
restless as of late. We’re approaching our anniversary and that big 2
is leering at me constantly. It makes me feel unsettled. It makes me think that
we are soon to leave our Newlywed stage behind. I’m gearing up for something, I
think so anyways.
As we talked it
was strange to attempt to plan a future when there are so few things we can
control. Some efforts are strictly out of our hands. Specifically relating to G’s
work, for instance, when will a promotion come? The next raise? Will we have to
move for him to get his dream position? Lots of unanswered questions have been
running through our minds.
Work, school, a
home- we have thought and talked and prayed about each, and still don’t have
all of the answers. Sometimes we butt heads and can’t reach a mutual agreement.
It’s hard to be an adult with all of the options but have none of the answers.
Oh to see into the future!
So what to do?
I think we are at
the stage of our lives where it’s sink or swim. Do or do not. What other time
in our lives will we find ourselves young and without many commitments? I really
do think God is getting us ready for new things for our family, just my boy and
myself. It could mean new jobs or a real house, maybe even relocating… I don’t
know. But I think I finally am ready to tackle something new.
Cheese alert: Grateful every day for my life with him!
