As I was reminiscing my early childhood this morning, I remembered my dreams and what I would want to become when i grow up.
In the early days I wanted to become a doctor, but I had this inexplicable fear of blood. I have lost my consciousness a few times whenever I got wounded or saw my blood coming out a wound.
I wanted to become a soldier or a cop, but I was thin and my body was weak. No matter how much I ate, I still didn't gain any more weight.
I wanted to become the boss of my our business or company, but we were not rich and our resources back then were limited. Aside from that, I only got few guidelines on how to effectively save and manage money.
These are just some of my dreams. I didn't pursue them because I had perceived roadblocks ahead of me. Also, I received a different calling when I was in college.
Now that I have my own family, I have this deep desire to be with my kids and guide them as much as I can. Looking ahead, I have this strong desire to see them grow and not miss anything as long as I can. And as my family and I journey this life together, I have this sincere hope that they will live fulfilling and productive lives. And I hope that I can help them guide and prepare themselves to face the future.
Winston Churchill once said, "It is always wise to look ahead, but difficult to look further than you can see." I can always hope for the best for my family's future, but only God can know exactly what will happen in the future.
