A look into the future

Does the future ever scare any one else? Because it definitely scares me. I know you're supposed to live in the moment and enjoy life, but how can you not look ahead? I've been asked to look ahead, into my future just today, and everything else popped up into my head. Job, school, family, marriage, moving.....all of it. There's so much running through my mind that it's hard to focus on words to write on this page. It's incredible to me that one moment I can picture everything that I want: who I want to marry, how many children I want, what I want my job to be, where I want to live, it just never ends, and then the very next moment I'm lost in my own thoughts, in the real world.

People come as easily as they may go in someone's life. It's a thought that I find myself thinking about quite often when I think about my future. I think about what friends will be in my wedding or whose kids will be playing with my kids. I guess in reality I just need allow God to take care of my future and just trust him to give me the right directions. But what do you do when you feel pulled in more than one direction? I feel like there are two or three roads ahead of me and I'm too scared to even take one step forward.

All I can do now, I guess, is trust in God and trust in myself that the right road will have a light above it and I'll know to walk down it. Every once in a while though I think we need to get scared about the future, that way we'll all still be on our toes because life can throw anything at us at any minute and it only helps if we're ready.
