A few years ago, I sat down and wrote a list of the top twenty-five things I wanted to have, do, or be. I kept this list by my computer and looked at it often.
There are a few things I’m still working on, yet in most areas I’ve taken positive steps, or even achieved my goal . . . such as writing a book for moms (Generation NeXt Parenting & Blue Like Play Dough), developing a time of Bible reading, study, and prayer with my husband, and stronger relationships with my kids.
What about you? If you sat down today to make a list of the top twenty-five things you wanted to have, do, or be . . . what would you write?
If you’d like to share, I’d love to hear about them!

2. Become a dedicated seeker of truth.

Now, what about you . . .
What a wonderful idea. Marybeth Whalen wrote about her list this morning and provided a link here – and I’m so glad she did as I am excited about writing out my own list. Thank you!!
I love this! I often write goals in my prayer journal, but I’ve never put them all together and kept them in a highly visible place. What a great way to keep focused. I’m going to write up my own list and post it on my blog – thanks for the inspiration!
Hello! I found you through Marybeth Whalen, and I just wanted to say I really admire and appreciate your list! We’d all do well to make (and work on) such a list!
