Foreshadowing

I was going back through my archives on Tuesday and I came across a post I wrote 12/22/2009 I ended with this paragraph:
"While I still see little girls who remind me of what was, that is no longer. Eventually I hope to be fortunate enough to have my own little girl. One who if she loves pretty dresses and baby dolls then I'll be ecstatic. However if she loves to run outside and play and be rough and tumble I will be ecstatic about that too. Children are such a gift and a blessing. I also understand it's no easy task. I have trouble being consistent with my dog so I can't imagine how much more of a challenge it will be if I ever do have children.
God's plan for our life is completely different then our own. I'm still learning to accept and move forward instead of planting my feet and trying to force my own way."

What a foreshadowing for what was to come! I have a little girl who loves pretty dresses and baby dolls, and yet she also loves playing in the dirt and picking up sticks.

I often find myself getting lost in the daily must do's. Sometimes it's nice to read back and remember.
