My Master List

Thirty four is just around the corner. One week to be exact and I look back at the previous year and ask myself “what have I accomplished?” What have I done to make a difference in the world? Whose life is better because of something I have done? I want to be in a place a year from now not asking myself these questions. I have made a Master List of things I want to do before I turn thirty five. Some things are as simple as picking apples; others are going to require much more dedication and time, growing my relationship with God. I am a Christian, a wife, a mother, daughter, niece, grand-daughter, friend, and a daughter-in-law. I want to be a better Christian, a better, wife, a better mother, etc… Through this, I need support, guidance and motivation. Join me and help walk me through my 1 year Master to do list.
