George dreamed of joining the Navy but his mother who was a widow raising her children alone did not like the idea. Nevertheless she put on a bold face and agreed to let him go.The day he was due to sail he hugged his mother goodbye.In an uncharacteristic show of emotion she started to cry because after enduring so much heartbreak she couldnt endure any more.George must not board that ship he must stay and be strong for the rest of the family.The boy in the uniform wanted a naval career but not if it meant adding to the grief of his mother.He reluctantly returned his uniform and ordered his belongings ashore.Of all the young men leaving home for adventure and did not he was just one more.Yet his decision had profound influence on the revolutionary war.The eleventh hour anxiety of a mother prevented her son from joining the British Navy and embarking on an adventure different from the one he eventually became famous.That is because the name of that 15 year old is George Washington, the first president of the USA.
Do not be annoyed with changes in your carefully prepared plans remember that God might have a better plan in mind for you.
