If you’re like me, you began 2017 with a New Year’s resolution! And if you’re like me, something that is out of your control has interfered with that goal you set. I was excited about a honeymoon trip in January with my husband, and I resolved that I would start the year off with a good attitude.
Well… Our trip had to be canceled due to my husband’s job, and I was NOT ready to have a good attitude on January 1st. What I really wanted to do was have a fit. But my husband reminded me that often the best things in life, are the things we never planned.
When I met my husband, I had plans to move back to Israel where I grew up. I planned a wonderful life with a husband, children (born at least five years after our wedding), and a reunion with all the friends I grew up with. WELL, I currently live in Jacksonville, NC, my husband is stationed at Camp Lejeune, and I am working for Hope First. That was not a part of my plans!
BUT MY LIFE IS FAR MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN I COULD HAVE EVER DREAMED OF!
So, if you are facing something that you didn’t plan, an illness, maybe a pregnancy, death in the family, or end of a relationship, I want you to know that you’re not alone. Even though you may not have planned this pregnancy for 2017, it can still be something wonderfully beautiful!
