Anticipations

In my anticipations of the upcoming adventure, I'm reminded again of the old adage: "Anything worth having is worth waiting for."

I'm not over-the-top-seven-year-old excited about my trip, but I am looking forward to it. I always look forward to trips, cause I'm the type that loves to travel. I love flying, I enjoy driving, the train was fun, and boats are great. I have yet to try a magic carpet (although it is on my list of awesome ways to die). I've always been a travel-lover. From the age of ten, I wished to be a commercial airline pilot. I bought a kid's sized pilot's cap for $22.00 when I was eleven. (It's funny how $22.00 can make an eleven year-old feel like a million bucks.) It doesn't really fit me anymore, but it reminds me about all the good times I had as a kid, anxiously waiting for the day when I could learn to fly.

Now I'm that age. I don't really want to be a pilot anymore. Hmm... Could it be that, if we got our way, we would miss out on what is actually in store for us? Yeah.

There's a note on the fridge at my house that says, "The heaviest part of sorrow is looking forward to tomorrow."

Trust in Him to provide. And live like you were dying.
