The List

I was reading through some old blogs from a year ago and stumbled upon this one.

Almost a year ago, my friend encouraged me to write out some goals in my life. I decided to revisit this! I think she had an ulterior motive (or maybe God did) when I started thinking about this all. My life had slowly started going off track and it truly made me think about what was important in my life and what I wanted to accomplish.

Visit Europe-more specifically Italy and Greece: I just haven't found anyone to finance this :p Soon, though, so very soon!
become a long distance runner: I am a short distance runner...which is a lot closer to a long distance runner than I was a year ago!
get married: looks down at left hand...nope
become a mother: see above
conquer my clothes control issues: This will forever be on my list. Although, it is a ton better now that I have rearranged.
move away from home: I'm still trying to fathom this one. Why did I want to move away? I love home. And besides, I already did when I was at Northwestern I just realized!
snowboard in the mountains(not just learning either!)....I'm convinced it will be this winter!!
pursue my lifelong dream: June 17th, 2007 I graduated!!!
above all, learn how to love the Lord with all my heart, soul, and mind!: This will be a lifelong journey as well, but the desire is far greater this year than it was a year ago. I just cannot believe how multi-faceted my Father is! It just blows my mind away.

I remember back to this month in particular. I was so unhappy. I didn't know where I was, what I was doing and where I was going. I was just existing. I have always been a really happy person, but I would call myself outright giddy most days now! Just existing is no longer an option for me. The LORD truly provides though. Not long after, He provided me with a job FAR beyond my expectations. I thank Him daily for this. I am still in awe that I was given such an amazing workplace.

I am really excited to come back and read this blog in another year and see where I am at and how the Lord has worked in my life.
