Today our speaker proposed to us that if we were to have a reunion 10 years from now what would we like to say that we have done? She asked us to take 5 minutes and write down what we want our lives to be like. The purpose of this is to help us discover what our hearts desire for the future, kinda like our own personal mission statements. I really liked this exercise because it helped me to focus on who I hope to become...I don't exactly know what I want to do yet, but I do know what I want it to be like. I hope that 10 years from now this can be true of me.
This is what I wrote:
The past 10 years have been full of wild. fun adventures with God. I've been all over the world serving every kind of person; from the "least of these" to the "high citizens." I've seen God working in miraculous ways, I've seen scores of people healed, set free, and redeemed in a radical way by Jesus. I've experienced great joy and great suffering, and it's all brought me closer to the one I live my life for- Jesus. I've learned to hear God's voice and walk in the Spirit every day. My fuel for life comes from spending time in God's presence. I've experienced the joy of marriage and children and I battle for my family to stay in a place of love and belonging both physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I've dreamed big dreams and I've seen them come true. I've built life long relationships with people whom I love and love me. I've been generous with my time, money, and resources. I've seen people for who God created them to be and I've helped them get there. I've lived life fully. I've taken what God has given me and I've ran with it. I have loved God and people with all that I am.
This is my desire...and I can't wait to see how it all works out.
