3 Life Lessons I Didn’t Expect to Learn from My Daughter on Vacation

I got way more than I bargained for on a recent vacation. Disney and my younger daughter taught me three life lessons I didn’t expect to learn. Life is funny that way—we learn in ways we never expected.

Here’s what she taught me and how you can apply it to your own life.

Life Lessons Learned From My Daughter

1. She taught me to trust the planner.

On vacation, my daughter trusted that I knew where we were going, I had her maximum enjoyment in mind, and I would get her where she needed to go. Not once did she second-guess my plans.

Trusting the Planner with a capital “P” is much harder for me than it was for my daughter to trust her planner-mama.

We don’t understand His plan, so we second-guess if there’s a quicker/easier route to go instead and often wonder how it all fits together.
