Our Plan

I am a planner!

I have lists for everything. Sometimes, my lists have lists.

DJ and I got married young. We figured, when you know, you know.

Plus, I had everything all planned out.

Our plan...

I would finish my degree to become a Special Ed. Elementary School Teacher.

When I graduated, I would find a job teaching kindergarten.

By this time, DJ would also have his degree.

We would be able to get a bigger house.

I would work until we saved enough money.

Then we would start a family, and I would become a Stay-At-Home-Mom.

Sounds perfect right?

A year ago this week we found out that God's plan, was not our plan.

We found out I would not be finishing my degree to become a Special Ed. Teacher.

I would not be teaching kindergarten.

We would not be saving the money, I planned on saving.

We would not be getting a new house.

DJ does not have his degree yet.

Only one part of our plan, was also God's plan.

I would be becoming a Stay-At-Home-Mom to the sweetest baby boy.

When we found out we were expecting, I started making more lists.

I started making more plans.

When I realized, once again, God's plan was different than my own.

I decided, I would just listen.

On March 1st, we welcomed Karson Allen Craig into our family.I still do not have my degree.

Neither does DJ.

I did not get to teach kindergarten.

We do not have a new house.

But, I have the sweetest baby boy!

My days are now filled with everything that comes with a baby boy.

Plus lots and lots of playing and snuggling.

I can not imagine filling my days with anything else!"The Lord Almighty has sworn this oath: 'It will all happen as I have planned. It will come about according to my purpose. I have a plan for the whole earth, for my mighty power reaches throughout the world. The Lord Almighty has spoken-who can change his plans? When his hand moves, who can stop him?'"

Isaiah 14: 24, 26-27
