So, I always talk about how I have no plan past graduating college. Like I’m leaving my whole life open to God for him to guide me. But I realized something today. That’s not what I’m truly saying. I put a “but” in there. I’m actually limiting God. I typically say “I don’t really know what I’m going to do in the future other than graduate college, but I do know I get married and have kids. All I want to be is a mom.”
What I think I’m saying is “My future is entirely up to God.” But what I’m truly saying is “My future is entirely up to God, as long as it involves me getting married and starting a family.” I can’t think of how to label that statement and idea. It’s like I feel like my life will be best served as a married mother. I just assume that’s part of God’s plan for me. But what if I’m called to be single? What if that’s how I’ll best serve God? And how else do I limit him without knowing it?
