Do you have a Bucket List?

Happy Wednesday, Friends!

Soooo
Our sale and giveaway went pretty well and we made some new friends:)
always a plus in my book.




So, ever since that movie came out,
The Bucket List
i feel like that's what everyone has been re-named their life goals.
and that's ok with me.
i actually made my first list this year.
i wrote down 50 things that i desire to accomplish in life before I go home to 
:::Heaven:::

Now a lot of these are fun and silly
but many are innate desires that i believe were given to me by God.
And, if i choose to put my complete trust in Him and earnestly seek him
( and in accordance with His will for me )
he will grant me those desires.


"Take delight in the Lord and He will grant you the desires of your heart." Psalm 37:4

but it still takes some action on my part.
maybe this is a tiny step in that direction.
just wanted to share some with y'all -
perhaps we have some in common?
maybe kaela will share, too:)

1. Complete a road trip across the U.S.A
2. Open a Bed & Breakfast
3. Take annual trips with my best girlfriends
4. Research family history (we have Native American in there somewhere and If I can prove it, it could save my children $$$$ in college tuition. I'm hopeful!)
5. Become bilingual
6. Learn to play the violin
7. I literally wrote this in my journal: Sit in a cage in the ocean around sharks...and pee in my pants
8. See a volcano
9. Go on a missions trip with my husband
10. Forgive all.


Now that I have this list, i'm aware of the goals and desires I have and it really helps having this list so I'm actively thinking . . . .How can I accomplish these?
We'd love to hear what some of your goals are!!!

  3. Thanks, Mandee! You're right - they are pretty ambitious. Gotta dream BIG! (And I also picked some of the most outrageous ones on purpose)
