Is your life going the way you imagined it as a child?

I'm just curious. Life is most definitely a blessing..but it's been rougher than I planned. I have dealt with illness, being a single parent, heartache. I have went to College and have had a hard time getting a job in my chosen field. But still I hold on to my dreams. Thank God I have made it through the trials. Life has been challenging but it's a blessing.
