What I aspire to be

I have recently started keeping up with the blogger "Mama's Losin' It" and so here is my response to her prompt-

"What do you aspire to be?

I have always had big dreams. I guess that confidence in myself and my future plans is something that I was either born with or that my family gave me early on because I have always felt that my big dreams were not only possible but bound to happen for no other reason than that I wanted them to. So...here they are in order:

1. My number one ambition in life is to be like Jesus. Although it is not always the top priority in my mind...I do want it to be. Being a child of God comes at a price and that price is to "take up your cross". Now, I don't know about you but sometimes my everyday, normal, run-of-the-mill routines get in the way of my "child of God duties". That's crazy right? But, nevertheless, life happens and gets all in the way of my big plans to always put God first. That is something that I don't think I will ever perfect but I will continue to work on throughout my life.

2. My second most important life goal is to be an amazing wife and mother. I'm not yet a mother but I have been doing the wife thing for a while and while some may be domestic and find everyday wifely chores such as cooking and gardening easy and simple tasks, I am not-so-domestic and HATE to cook. So, I carry out my be an amazing wife goals in other ways...Such as: unconditional love and support and then there are my everyday wife duties such as bill paying, and house cleaning, and clothes ironing, and that sort of thing... I happen to find being a wife to be the VERY best job in the world. And as far as being an amazing future mother, if I am anything like my mom, I know I will be a great mother.

3. My third goal is to be an amazing daughter and sister. My family is the best family ever and I love them a whole lot so I do whatever I can to make sure that they know how much I love and appreciate them. I love to spend time with them so I make it a goal to spend as much time with the parents as I possibly can.

4. My next goal is to graduate from college and be a great history teacher. I can't wait to graduate and I love working at the school and working with the kids. They are so amazing and they mean the world to me! I know that being a teacher is exactly what God planned for me because I know that I make a difference for them and they really listen to me and appreciate me. It's a great feeling to know that I matter to those kids.
