"I want to be a Doctor"
Raising kids, some have said, to be the hardest job you will ever love... I find that to be true, so far... As my son is not quite two and half years old...
But, I find my self in a quandary... Am I to shape him into what I want for him or let him make his own decisions... I know, I know... He probably doesn't know what he wants to be when he grows up yet (or does he?)
Sure, I would love for him to be a doctor... They make a nice living... He would, hopefully, never have to worry about some of the things I have to worry about... Not that money is everything...
A couple of weeks ago, my mother in law was very sad about something and she was crying... Without prompting, Benjamin went over to her and said plain as day, "It's alright, granny, don't be sad, I will be a doctor and help you... Don't cry..."
Does he want to be a doctor on his own accord, or is it from the prompting of his teachers..? Amy and I...
I guess we won't know for another 20 years or so...

Perhaps there is Someone being left out of the equation here who would like to be asked what your son should be.
I am not sure whom you are referring to... Benjamin says that he wants to be a dr... Amy thinks it is fitting...
If you are referring to God, our Father... then maybe you are right...
the caps on the Someone...
yes, I was referring to God. Even in our personal lives we are so eager to tell God how we want to serve Him as opposed to asking Him what He would have us do, how He would like to mold us, shape us, His will.
