To Pee or Not to Pee…

28 11 2009

Say No to PeeI never thought I’d be at a place in my life where the word “Pee” is a logical response to the question, “What is that?” But, as I approach the end of my 27th year of life with two toddlers and a puppy that is exactly where I find myself. It’s always interesting to catch up with old friends on Facebook and see what they’re up to. Some have taken the path of starting families, some have started thriving businesses, some are balancing careers as well as families, and others are struggling just to become a functioning member of society.

As you reflect on what you thought they’d do with their lives it becomes easy to get introspective. Am I where I thought I’d be at this point in my life? In some aspects yes and others no. But, I realized something as I sat hoping that the suspected pee was on the hardwood and not the carpet again: I wouldn’t trade my life for anything. It’s been an adventure every step of the way and God is continually revealing more and more of himself through it.

What about you? Did you have aspirations to become a senator but couldn’t even get voted onto the board of your homeowner’s association? Did you want to be a pro athlete but pull muscles when playing Wii? Big deal! Stop thinking about where you are at and let God take you where he wants you to be. Pursue Jesus with everything you’ve got and you’ll find the journey of life to be much more satisfying.

Now, off to find that pee…

No, I am not where I thought I would be. I persued my dream and entered a Christian College majoring in Human Development with a minor in Family Studies (I wanted to be a Child Psychologist). I went on for my Masters and hit a brick wall with my supervisor who would not give me the time off to go to classes so with one year left to go I had to quit. At the time I was angry. But now I would not trade my life. I love working for the State and Child Welfare and speaking on the Indian Child Welfare Act since I am Native American. I take my parents to each speaking engagement I go to. Family is what my life is now all about.

I love spending time with my parents and my brothers as I never felt I knew them growing up. Thanks Nick…..I love you! Hug and XXXXXX
