Happy Belated Birthday Brit!! Wow, what a reflective post, some serious depp thinking. Sorry you haven’t been having a very good week. Hope Will’s dad is doing better all the time.

I think 25 is just the start Brit and nothing to be scared of.  I have to be honest at 25 I didn’t want kids either, at 29 things have changed.  I don’t think you need to make the decision of kids or no kids just yet but it’s good that you are thinking about it.  And at the end of the day if you know that you and Will are going to be happier without children that’s no one else’s business but yours.

As for staying in Kuwait or leaving I think this is only something that you and Will can decide.  Are you going to be okay not being close to your family?  How does Will feel being apart from his family?  I know when I moved to MD to be closer to Ray I left all my family in NY and that was hard but I knew I’d be okay and I knew Ray wouldn’t be if we were in NY.  I had to weigh my concern for his happiness against the love I have for being close to my family.  It was a tough choice (I think we made the right one ultimately).

You and Will are going to be okay and I agree about not planning out life too much.  It becomes a huge burden when things don’t go according to the plan you set.  But it’s wonderful to have goals and dreams and live them (but in a moment to moment way).

I am sorry about Will’s dad.  I will keep him in my thoughts.  I am also sorry things at work stink right now, I sure hope they get better for you soon. 

Life moves quickly and we can’t always be sure of our choices (or lack thereof) but in the end I believe everything has a purpose and a reason.

Lots of hugs!

Wow.  I feel like you have read my thoughts and blogged them.  Well, except for the whole Kuwait business.  But seriously, I feel the same as you do about life in general right now.  Even though I’m not 25 yet (I dread every day that it comes closer), I still feel that I am not in the place of a 24 year old, and that because it will take us so long to get to that “place” we will have to leave something out of our life....because we took too long to get there.  Does that even make sense?  haha

I hate to hear about Will’s dad.  You are all in my prayers.  I’m so glad that he is doing better, and I hope his health continues to improve.

You know, I turn 25 in a month and have been having some similar thoughts.  My mom was 25 when she became pregnant with me - I always thought I’d be thinking of having kids (that I’d actually WANT kids) by 25.  Truthfully - the two bunnies are enough responsibility for me.  Kids?  Not right now.  And I think that’s okay.  I don’t think it makes me (or you) any less of a wife or woman, just because we aren’t ready.  We’ll be ready in God’s time

Next to marital issues, work problems are by far the hardest.  Even contributing to marital issues.  With DH struggling with his job lately, my advice is always “it’s not worth it”.  It’s not worth it to give yourself to a company, only to be unappreciated and used.  It’s just not.

I am so sorry to hear about Will’s dad.  You, Will and your whole family are in my prayers.

I know God will speak to yours and Will’s hearts and let you know where you should be.  I will be praying for you today - that He watches over Will’s dad; that you and Will are able to be comforted in His embrace; and you are able to hear His voice.

I realize this has become excruciatingly long.  I owe you an email, it will be coming soon - I promise.

I’ll be thinking of you and Will lots today.

xoxo

Hey Brit,

Just wanted to stop by an offer you a note of encouragement. It is very hard to see what God has planned for us with our human eyes. Last fall i prayed everyday that God would either deliver me from my professional situation or give me the strength to appreciate where i was at. then, He opened doors for me and closed others when i wasn’t even looking. I will pray for you, and i also want you to continue to pray for your situation as well. (which i know you do) although answers might not come right away, when they do it is so sweet. i had to wait almost half a year for mine! sheesh! i know that God has great plans for you and your family and that because you are faithful, everything will work out according to His will.

I am so sorry to hear about Will’s dad, i will be praying for him as well. that is not fun at all. it’s amazing how God works things out, that Will’s mom was there to help. through a series of random tests a few weeks back, we learned my mom was having heart problems too. it seemed to get worse and worse. (the news) in the end, she had 5 bipasses done last week. but the great thing, as with Will’s dad, is that these things get caught.  we should definitely feel blessed by that, even though it S-U-C-K-S!!!

well, i’m rambling on...just wanted you to know i’m thinking about you. hope you have a better day today than yesterday. :D

I’m so sorry about WIll’s dad...I’ll say a prayer for him.

And for you guys, too.

I’m sorry you’re struggling a bit.  It’s hard to know the direction your life should go.  I don’t have any great miracle advice except to keep praying about it and be open to whatever you feel called to do.

I hope you’re feeling better soon...being in turmoil is never fun.

I know all about those middle of the night phone calls...I’ve gotten them way too often, especially lately.  I also know all about fathers and loved ones with pulmonary emboli...my dad had one about 2 years ago....he never did collapse, but he was having trouble breathing and asked me to take him to the hospital.  I was the only one there with them when they diagnosed him, and it was so scary because that is the exact thing his father had died from.  And then, of course, there is my uncle, who after having surgery for colon cancer succumbed to multiple emboli in his lungs on his birthday (05 April)...they are scary things, but know that there is hope...I’ve seen cases where loved ones died...but I’ve also seen cases where my own father lived when he should have died.  Luckily, Will’s mom did the right thing and quickly and his dad should make a good recovery. 

On the 25 side of things.  I totally get you.  It’s like my whole life changed once I turned 25.  Now, I’m suddenly only 5 (actually 4.5 for me) years away from 30.  I had the whole internal conversation with myself about where my life was going and is this where I was supposed to be at 25 (answer is always no).  I don’t know why, but 25 seems like that turning point...and it totally should be.  But I totally get you.  And, happy belated birthday. 

You guys are in my prayers.

I feel so honored and humbled that you shared all of that for us to read, and of course we will be praying for you!  It was interesting to me, to read your “there’s just too much” post the other day because that’s how I feel right now too, so I just leave it all off of here.  But this I know “My Jesus is the same.  He is still on the throne and still in charge. Nothing escapes his notice, not even my little selfish heart’s desires” and not yours either.  He is still faithful.  He is still I AM.  He is.

Some Deep Thoughts girlee.  I sure hope God clarifies things and brightens things up for you.  Turning another year older is never fun, especially when you aren’t where you think you should have been by now...always perplexing.

Your in my prayers...and your FIL is also in my prayers.

I’m sorry to hear about Will’s dad. He will definitely be in my prayers. I’ll keep you guys in my prayers too. It’s so hard when you don’t know if what you’re doing is what you’re “supposed” to be doing. I hope you find peace with what you’re doing and where you are.

I am so sorry to hear about Will’s dad. I will be thinking about him and you guys.

I had this funny moment when I turned 25 where I had reached the age that meant adult. In my mind 25 was the age of becoming an adult. And in life I was not exactly where I thought I would be. I mean. I had the happily married and baby thing down. Check. But I had ( and still do have ) a huge whole in my perception of myself because I am still in school! I am looking at two more years even! I tie a lot of my self worth into completing school and I know I should not. It’s like you were saying. There is so much more to life than sometimes what we see.

I am praying that God clarifies things for you and shows you His direction. You guys will figure out. Lots of love!

First, let me say Happy Birthday!  I turned 28 yesterday (16th).  I DO feel old.  :-(

On to more important matters....Will’s Dad.  I will be praying for him Britt.  I hope that Will is able to approach this with a clear mind knowing that God is in control.  I can’t imagine how hard it is being so far away, but you and WIll are incredibly strong people.  I’m praying sweets.  <3

hey britt...i don’t know if you remember me, but i blogged sporadically on the nest & followed you here.  i have the same feelings you do about turning 25 (happens to me in a couple weeks).  i have no answers for you, but i am praying for you & for will’s dad.  i know how the middle of the night phone call feels; i can only imagine what the middle of the night halfway around the world phone call feels like.

lots of love!

Happy Birthday to you!  And my prayers for Will’s father to heal.  I know what you mean about all of these thoughts concerning children, career, “the big life plan”.  I turned 30 April 4th and even though its just a number, b-days are a small reminder of time I suppose.  Well, like many before me have commented, I have no answers but just wanted to let you know you are in my thoughts and I relate to a lot of what you said.  Be blessed and know God will take you and Will through this time.

Hey lady--
I am so sorry to hear about Will’s dad. He will be for sure in my prayers tonight. I hope everything will turn out okay. Don’t fret about 25. What you are feeling is very, very normal. This is why they call it “quarter life crisis” When you turn 25, it starts to make you look at things in perspective. Don’t worry about trying to figure every thing out in life right now. Because, well honestly you can’t. I am almost 33 and I am trying to figure things out. I guarantee you will grow and change even more over these next 5 years and life will start to unfold and figure itself out. Take one day at a time. God is here to help show you the way and with your darling hubby, you will start to figure out what is the next chapter in your life together.
Happy birthday sweetie! despite everything that has happened this week--I hope it was a good birthday.

You are in my prayers. I can’t really say anything that hasn’t already been said, so run with what you know. He will provide. ♥

I know that I don’t comment very often but I check your blog every day.  My heart goes out to you.  At the beginning of your post when you were talking about turning 25 it made me remember when I turned 25.  Almost everyone I know, including myself, thought 25 was the hardest birthday ever.  Even harder than 30!  You are right.  There is something about 25 that means you aren’t a kid anymore.

I will be sending you prayers and thoughts of peace.  It is so hard to know sometimes if you are doing the “right” thing.  I have been there and I hope that things fall into place over the next days, weeks, and months.  Keep praying!  God will lead you where you need to be!

First of all-Happy Birthday!  Birthdays can make you start thinking about the future and the past and it seems like you have been thinking about a lot of heavy stuff lately.  I hope that Will’s dad gets better quickly and he will be in my prayers.

Hey there!  You had commented on my journal on the nest, so I wanted to stop by and say hi, too.  Happy Belated Birthday!  I’m definitely sending prayers your way as you deal with all that’s on your plate right now!  May His will be done in Your life. 

So heartfelt and thought-provoking. I will turn 25 in September and I am feeling the exact same way even though my thoughts are more “I don’t wanna be 25 yet!!!”...I will seriously pray for Will’s dad...glad that he started breathing on his own but hope that things get better for him. Very scary.

Praying for you and Will as well, that you may find guidance and peace with your life.

PS. I always read your posts but don’t always comment. I need to comment more often!

I am so very sorry about Will’s Dad.  You guys are in my thoughts and prayers.  And I am sorry to hear you had a pretty rough birthday, contemplating your life and where you want to be versus where you are right now, is a scary thing.  I have been struggling with that for over a year now.  Sending you encouragement and strength!  You’re in my thoughts.  Thank you for being so honest and open.

I’m so sorry to hear about Will’s Dad. I hope and pray that everything turns out ok for him.

It’s so hard to make a life changing decesion, and it’s even harder to understand God’s plan sometimes, but it’ll come to you....one way or another.
Happy belated 25th birthday!!

Hey girl,

Well Happy belated Birthday really doesn’t seem like the approprate thing to say here. I’m so sorry to hear about Will’s dad. I know how scary this sort of thing is. It must be incredibly hard for you guys not to be able to be there right now. I’m really glad to hear that he’s doing better. I will keep all of you in my prayers. Don’t worry too much about “growing up”...sometimes we get too caught up in it and forget to just enjoy today. I hope you and Will are able to have so good heart to heart talks and figure things out.

Love,
Kristen

I had a hard time with 25 too, just as I fear 30 will be in a few short years. I just remember being a child and thinking how old 25 sounded. Now, 25 sounds really good to me There are certain things I too expected to accomplish/have, but life has a funny way of happening. I think it all happens for a reason and that we’re both right where we need to be.

I’m so so sorry to hear about Will’s Dad. I’m just now catching up on blogs and I feel terrible that you two have been dealing with this family scare all those miles away. Thank goodness you have each other. Please know you are in my prayers, keep us posted…

And here’s a hug for you my dear friend!

Happy Belated Birthday! I’m trying to catch up on all of your posts right now!

the BIG 25!! I thought it was very fitting that you were having time to be introspective and think about how life has been unfolding up until this point.  I hope that He will offer you guidance and peace of mind at this time.  I know in time He will reveal to you what is needed to keep you inspired and lead you down the path that has been chosen for you.  Hang in there! When I hit 25, I recall being concerned with what society dictates as the correct time line for things: jobs, marriage, children, home buying, etc.  Just remind yourself that the time line differs for everyone.  One thing for certain, I have faith that things will work out exactly as planned, even if it is not your plan.

Keeping Will’s Dad and your family in my prayers.
