This is a post where we can make up a list of the things we would like to accomplish or do before we go to be with the Lord.  I have quite a list, since I wasted the first half of my life partying.  The Lord got a hold of me 16 years ago and many of these things have remained on my "To do before I die" list.  I would also hope that this post will give each of us some incentive to begin to accomplish our dreams.  If you have already begun preparing to do some of the things on your list, let us know what steps you are taking to see your dream come to fruition.  I hope we all want to be ready for Jesus to say, "Well done, good and faithful servant,"  and to accomplish His will for our lives.  But what are some of your specific dreams?  I will begin by listing a few things, and then you can come along and add yours. Okay?  Great!  Let's begin....

(These are not in any particular order, just listed as they came to mind.)

1.)  Go to Israel and visit the empty tomb.  I have wanted to do this since I got saved.  I think that would be incredible!

2.)  Finish college.  Because I chose to party instead of going to college, I got a late start and never finished.  So I have all of those obsolete computer credits just sitting there!  Now the classes are all different!  There wasn't even Internet back then.  I do need to get back :)  When my kids are more independent with home school, I plan to do this.

3.)  Become a Crown Financial Coach.  I have wanted to do this for years.  Well I went to the seminar and bought the course work!  So I am actually fulfilling this goal as we speak! 

4.)  Become fluent in Spanish.  I have bought everything I need over the years to accomplish this goal.  I seem to work on this in spurts.  

5.)  To be leading worship in a church on a regular basis.  I have been taking voice, guitar and piano for years.  I have opportunities here and there, enough to keep me motivated, but I would like to do this regularly.  And I believe that the Lord has put this dream in my heart.    

6.)  To sing the National Anthem at a major league baseball game.  I have wanted to do this since I was a small child!

7.)  To be able to turn in my mop and have a job that I actually enjoy doing :), by the time I am 50.  We are working on building up retirement and becoming financially free enough to do this. 

8.)  To be able to volunteer (and not need the money), to be able to help out at a crisis pregnancy center.  Yes, I want to be one of those little old ladies who councils teens to keep their kids!  Now how many people have that at the end of their list? 


Now let's hear what you have to say!  Don't be shy; we are all family here :)
