While that is still young in the grand scheme of things, there are still things that I am hoping will be worked out.  Anything I put here is up to God in terms of whether it happens because I know fully well that when mortals plan, God laughs.  So this is what I&#8217;m hoping will be in place in 5 years&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The puzzle that is Daniel, my medical mystery, to be assembled.<\/strong>  Every time I think we have Daniel figured out, something new gets thrown at us.  I&#8217;ve finally stopped crying every time it happens&#8230; most of the time.  (The latest is him having mild hearing loss.)  I&#8217;d like to have things with Daniel more figured out and for him to be able to be mainstreamed into a regular classroom.<\/p>\n<p><strong>My family to be &#8220;complete&#8221;.<\/strong>  This could mean that Daniel is an only child, that I have another one naturally, or that we are called to adopt.  Whatever it means, I&#8217;m open to what God has in store for me in this direction.<\/p>\n<p><strong>To have my respiratory therapy training or whatever it is that I&#8217;m going to be when I grow up figured out.<\/strong>  Yes, I&#8217;m 33 and I&#8217;m still trying to figure out what it is that I want to be when I grow up.  Current thought: respiratory therapist.  I&#8217;d like to have it figured out and my training done.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Being part of a community choir that allows me to indulge my &#8220;great works of choral music&#8221; itch.<\/strong>  I love to sing.  I don&#8217;t have a place to really scratch that itch at the moment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>To have grown in grace and love for God.<\/strong>  It&#8217;s my goal pretty much every day and I pray in 5 years to be better at conveying God&#8217;s amazing grace to others and to be better at loving God and His people.<\/p>\n<p>Now go see <a href=\"http:\/\/frommrstomama.com\" title=\"Becky @ From Mrs. to Mama\">Becky<\/a> and where <a href=\"http:\/\/www.frommrstomama.com\/2013\/07\/5-years-from-now-blogging-with-purpose.html\" title=\"everyone else\">everyone else<\/a> who is linking up hope to be in 5 years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week&#8217;s topic: 5 years from now&#8230; In five years, I will be 38.
