Ten years ago I was a senior in high school. It's crazy how time flies. I remember writing, what felt like a million essays about where I'd be in ten years. Back then I said I would be in the process of becoming a doctor. I wanted to be a Pediatrician. I would have gone to Incarnate Word University then into medical school. (I know I blogged about this a while back ago)
Anyway, now here I am ten years later and I haven't even finished getting an associates degree. I had such high hope & standards for myself. I feel like I failed in some way. Getting sick had nothing to do with not accomplishing my goals. I only got sick about three years ago. So that is no excuse; neither is being a full time youth minister because may other youth ministers I know personally are going to school as well.
Where did I go wrong? I'm not really sure I can pin point just one derailment.

But the great news is with this second chance at life I'm going to live my dreams. By the grace & love of God I am still alive and with His help my dreams will become a reality. I am in the process of starting school, I am almost able to registrar for classes, all I need to do is go to group advising and then I can registrar. It's so exciting. I'm not sure what major yet.
I was looking on line at different job opportunities with the Pulmonary Hypertension Association. I would love to work there and help others with PH. I think that would be amazing. But I am leaving it all in God's hands. I want to live the life He wants. My plans totally failed so now I'm going according to His plan for my life.
So What's in my future? Only God knows but it will be great!!!!
I found this sensitive blog last year, but didn`t dare to write because I had a feeling that the author cannot reply anymore... Can anybody confirm or infirm this sad presumption?
ReplyDeleteHello Gabriel, I'm still here :) I haven't written, life has been a bit crazy. I have been wanting to start it up again. Thank you for the interest and sparking the fire to write here again :)
DeleteGod Bless you!
Hi Hanna! I`m so, so happy receiving this answer of yours! Almost can`t believe my eyes because you have`t written for so long and, of course, because of your health problems. I discovered your site while I was looking for pictures with brick walls for my funny, crazy and probably hopeless project - http://experiencefactory.blogspot.ro/
ReplyDeleteYes, please write again on your blog when you get the time! :)
All the best! Take care!
