We all wish for abundant life. But when wishes mix with realities, what is the measure of abundant life?
Written by Martin Ciliberto, "Careful What You Wish For" is a story about two girls, Michelle and Veronica, who are just about to graduate from college.
They are both in Charlotte visiting their families for Thanksgiving. They meet at a restaurant and discuss their plans to move from Charlotte to Manhattan after they graduate. They are both dating guys that are Christians who love Charlotte and plan to stay there. Michelle and Veronica discuss their boyfriends and how they feel their boyfriends are backward in their ways and how Charlotte is full of backwards people.
An older professional woman overhears Michelle and Veronica's conversation. The older woman worked and lived in Manhattan for many years until the company she worked at was bought out.
She explains to Michelle and Veronica that Christians will stick by you when the going gets tough and the "Big City" isn't all it's cracked up to be.
The older woman tells them how alone she is now and how she wishes she had never left Charlotte. She might have gained wealth and prestige but she had to give up so much in return. After the older woman leaves Michelle and Veronica have a change of heart and decide to stay in Charlotte and even go to church with their "backwards" boyfriends.
