When They Grow Up

As a parent of two young girls, I have often thought about what they will be like when they grow up, the careers they'll choose, the husbands, if they will choose motherhood or not….
It’s kind of fun from time to time to speculate a career path based on the interests & abilities they have now as children. Last night as Olivia colored a page in her Princess and the Frog coloring book she gave me a little blurb about each crayon she pulled out of the box, and I thought about how she’s always been such a story teller…..from that I started thinking about what I could see them doing 20 yrs from now based on how they are at this age. Here’s what I came up with:

Olivia: I'm thinking she'll be a News Reporter or a talk show host....anything where she is allowed to talk non-stop uninterrupted, tell stories, add little blurbs about even the most mundane of activities, and in general be funny.

Alexandria: Something where she will combine her love of Science & outdoors, artistic abilities, and overwhelming sensitivity to all things living... hmmm....an artsy Marine biologist with a big heart??

Wherever they end up, my constant hope is that they will above all else, be able to tune into their God given talents and abilities and find their place in the world.
