Life Plans

So I was reading my sister's blog
(I have it listed under 'Jessie da Bomb' for those of you interested in reading it as well)
And I started thinking about all the 'Life Plans' I'd made for myself, and I was thinking, so far, none of them have come true that I can think of. Perhaps I'll find one as I go on, but let me give you some examples:
  1. I wanted to be the first in the family to get his/her license on time.
    I was a day before twenty, later than my brother and sister, and my younger sister got it the next day, AT SIXTEEN.
  2. I wanted to go PSEO like my sister and my friend Heidi, and finish college early.
    I nearly didn't pass high school and I've decided, for the time being, not to return to college, at least until I figure out how to pass math, haha.
  3. I wanted to be moved out and on my own by eighteen.
    I'm still livin in the basement and money runs through my hands like water.
  4. I wanted to be married by twenty-one.
    I've got less than three months to go and no prospects in sight because my ex decided he'd rather be a priest and the only person to really catch my interest since then turned out to be hitting for the other side.
  5. ...


And okay, so I can't think of any other 'Life Plans' at the moment, mostly just short-term goals, like 'Learn how to drive a manual' and 'Keep room clean for more than a day' and simple things like that. But it seems everything important just isn't meant to be...
Is it me? Am I doing something wrong?
Or does God have something bigger and better in mind?
I can only hope so...
