Memories & Thoughts.

Today i worked in the nursery at church, and while there i was wondering about what these kids would grow to be as they got older. It was weird, because i got all sappy, realizing that they wouldn't be in the nursery in the next few years. There's this little girl named Meghan, she is absolutely one of the cutest kids i have seen- every Sunday morning, when i walk into the church she always runs up to me and gives me a hug, and that little girl always has a smile on her face. I was thinking about how she could be anything she ever wanted when she got older, and i thought about my life.

Realizing that i was once one of the kids once, shows me how fast life truly goes. I am a sophomore in high school- and I'm 1/2 way done with this year!  If someone told me a few years ago how fast life would go, i would have never believed them.

What ever this crazy life makes me to be, i know one thing that will never change- Jesus Christ is my savior, and he knows whats best for me.

I have been searching for the last few months, for a career, that i would enjoy doing, and I'm still not sure. I would ask some people how they chose their career, and they would say because that is what there parents did...... but i can't really do the- so i feel like I'm on a limb here. I'm looking for careers, that make me feel good about waking up early to do them. Some careers that i have in mind as of right now are, veterinarian ( wanted to be one as long as i can remember), adoption counselor, some form of criminal justice ( animal cop, drug enforcement etc.), high school teacher, oncologist & youth minister. Not sure yet what God has in store for me, but i know that some how i will make a difference. So the girl in the picture i posted below- remember her- because you'll see her face again, someday, but much older. (:

  1. Very well written, Elizabeth. It's hard for anyone to decide on a career, especially one that they hope to enjoy throughout their adulthood. You're giving it some thought early on, earlier than most your age have done. That, in itself, is to be both encouraged and commended. Keep thinking ahead. Do not ever forget what you like to do, your own personal interests (such as writing) may open doors or lead to paths not discovered as of yet.
