Have any of you girls every wondered what your life will be like in ten years when you’re twenty? “Will I be married? Will I have children?”
Below is my article on what I envision my life to be like in ten years!
My Life in Ten Years
As a young 13 year old in the prime of youth I often asked myself, “What will my life be like in 10 years as a 23 year old lady?” Now as a 23 year old mother and wife of a wonderful husband, my question has been answered.
I am now the happy mother of two boys and two girls. Married to my loving husband Joshua, He is employed as a real estate lawyer in Castle Rock, Colorado. Our family happily reside in a small home outside of the growing town of Larkspur.
Three year old Rebekah Marie, mommy’s little helper, is a sweet tempered girl blessed with the willingness to serve and love for others. Our second born, Sara Rachael, spends her time in collecting insects from the yard and feeding the farm animals tidbits from dinner. Joshua Daniel, Daddy’s namesake, spends most of his time looking at pictures books or playing quietly by himself. Our 1 month old baby David, spends his time sleeping only waking up for a meal to fill his empty belly.
That’s my family and they are my life. My days are filled with laundry, cooking, changing diapers, schooling my children, changing clothes, and making meals for needy brothers and sisters within our church.
Our growing family now resides in a four bedroom home on a treed ten acre lot. Our barn houses several farm animals including several chickens, two goats, one cow, a beagle puppy, two barn cats, and a recent litter of newborn kittens to keep down the mice living in the barn. Rebekah our oldest is assigned to the care of the cats and chickens while Mommy and Daddy care for the rest until Sara and Joshua are old enough to care for them.
Rebekah and I are now contriving to grow the first garden of the year as the flowers began to bloom and the grass shoots sprout. We plan on planting a numerous assortment of flowers in pots and on the lawn, and planting vegetables such as carrots, squash, lettuce, watermelons, cucumbers, and tomatoes. We are hoping on a bountiful harvest with “gamma’s help”.
Our family is also actively involved with church activities such as church picnics, family camp, and yearly celebrations of reformation day. The children love helping mommy cook and prepare for each big event, pitching where their little hands can help.
Our lives are busy and full of joy. I thank God for what He has given me in richly blessing me with a loving family, friends, church community, and a kind husband. He has truly answered my question “What will my life really be like in ten years?”
