The Next Four Years

The next four years will not be spent being negative about who our president is. Instead, I will pray for him and our Congress. After all, it can't be easy being in charge of millions of people.

The next four years will not be wished away. I will use this time wisely to teach my daughter about politics, government, and most of all right and wrong. She is a future voter, and if I spend this time trashing our government, what is she going to learn from that?

The next four years will be a time of change. I am a creature of habit, but I am learning to embrace change. After all, if I did not, what kind of wife, mother and friend would I really be?

The next four years will be spent enjoying life. I have high hopes for the next four years, regardless of the state of our Union. I will see Hubs celebrate his 30th, Mini Me hit the double digits and start middle school (YIKES!), and spend countless hours playing Mancala, doing arts and crafts, taking road trips, cooking meals for us to enjoy together, and growing in our relationship with God.

The next four years will be what I make of them. Where do you see yourself four years from now?
