A while back I wrote a blog about Job...specifically about the verse that says..."Job died old and full of days"...I want this to be what is said about me when I die...
That I died Old and Full of days
...that I didn't die full of dreams never fulfilled...
that I wasn't too afraid to attempt something knowing I may fail.
I mean, come on, I went to AFRICA last year...I traveled thousands of miles...fulfilling a dream I thought would not happen for MANY years...but it did...so maybe there are other dreams waiting to become reality. I don't know unless I try- that's for sure!
Of course there is always a small intimidating voice inside saying..."What if you Fail? What if your family, friends think you are crazy? What if you look like a fool?"
Well, this last Sunday at church I felt like God was whispering to me...something so simple but SO powerful....
..."Who told you that you can't???????????"
So that's all it took. I have had many ideas, dreams stirring in my heart for a while...but I have been afraid. But now I am determined to go for it!
So...here is My list...the start of it anyway...I will probably add to it :) This will include other things I want to do in my life...(in no specific order)
