I kinda had "big plans" for my life. Those plans most certainly included getting married and having a family...but that was all after I accomplished some other plans. Traveling and a career were definitely some of those first plans. But there is a poem by Robert Frost that says--
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
I took a different road than what I was planning. I got married at age 19 and had my first, sweet baby when I was 21. I joined Cory, hand in hand, as we embarked on business ventures instead of completing our business degrees. I am so grateful for the road that I am on...let's not misread that at all! I sure love my life with all my heart and am so grateful that I trusted Heavenly Father enough to not follow my own plans. My road choice has certainly made all the difference. And I still believe that my road has lots of traveling, education and adventures ahead.
But it has sure been fun to see my younger sisters follow their roads. They have been quite adventurous (more than I will ever be- there is no arguing with that!)
So this is just my little shout-out to my adventurous little sisters. I sure love those gals.
