Anticipate what's next

Whenever you feel stuck in your current life stage, remember that it won't last forever. There will be an end to changing diapers when your kids grow older. You'll soon graduate from college and be done with the pressure of constantly taking exams and writing papers. Increase your hope by anticipating the next season of your life. While it's true that you can't predict with certainty what will happen in the future, you can anticipate what life stage you'll likely enter next, and look forward to it. Use the power of anticipation as motivation to complete your current responsibilities well. Do your best for as long as you're in your current stage, so you can move into the next one with no regrets when the right time comes. Rather than trying to live in a different season than the one you're in, trust that God has placed you in this particular life stage right now for a good reason and decide to live fully while you're in it.

This is where I am in my life right now. Hopefully by encouraging you, I will be lifted up as well. Have a blessed week!
