Today his post was this fabulous question:
How accurate were your younger self's ideas about your older self's life?
I highly recommend reading through the sixty or so comments posted so far. They are eye opening and encouraging.
And I pose the same question to you. How is your life the same or different than you thought it would be?

I'll start:
As a young teenager I pictured myself graduating from a decent school (probably IU), getting a job as a music teacher, and thereby changing the world. I hoped to be married within a few years of graduating, and that we'd start a family while I was still in my mid-twenties.
I'm in my mid-twenties now, I'm single, and I'm in grad school of Library Science. I'm changing the world, but through ministry and friendship, not teaching. And while I've worked out a lot of stuff, I'm not nearly as calm, cool, and collected as I thought I'd be by now.
Ten years ago: My career ambitions bounced from veterinarian (probably because I'm a 2, unfortunately can't stand to cut open animals unless they're already dead) to band director to biological research which I fell in love with at 17 or so. Also right around the same time I thought I would marry my high school sweetheart. Got the career path right, really glad I didn't stick with that relationship though.
I've grown into my own skin quite a bit since then and learned more about God and our relationship than I ever thought possible... and I still feel like I've only touched the tip of the iceberg. :) There's no place else I'd rather be.
