No Longer in the Future...

Last night as I lay in my bed, slowly falling asleep, I heard a little voice coming from the boy's room.  Levi had had a fever earlier that day, so I went to see if he was ok.  I walked in only to find a little four year old boy laying in his bed talking to himself and I went over to chat with him.  I was standing on my tip toes at the edge of his bunk bed smiling and whispering.  We were talking about how old he was and he was playing with my fingers, bringing them up one at a time until we got to four.  He did that over and over again.  Then he pulled my thumb out and counted to five.  I told him he would be five in July and I was suddenly caught off guard by what I had just said.  He was going to be 5 in JULY!  I couldn't believe it.  Just yesterday we were in the airport waiting for Mom and Dad's airplane to land from Liberia, and for them to walk out with our new brother.

Lately, I've been thinking a lot about my future, where God will lead me and what I'm going to end up doing.  I've actually been kind of worried.  I feel inadequate.  I've never been good at making decisions and all of the sudden, every decision matters.  Don't get me wrong, I'm extremely excited! It's just everything's coming quickly.
My future is no longer in the future...
