    Holy.

    Surrender and obedience. You know, I am never really good at “games” like this but that’s all I got since I haven’t had any coffee yet today. Please send some.

    Future: Limitless

    Allowing God to bulldoze some fear driven fascades and barriers to allow me to give,to worship, to love, to build friendships without limits.
    Most of all, not putting a limit on my heart of loving myself.

    future = fulfilled

    achieve = well, first…by fulfilled, i dont mean my own fleshy desires. i mean that Gods will for my life will be fulfilled. that i figure out a way (not that i dont know – just dont wanta put forth the effort some times) to put forth the effort đŸ˜•

    [this is hard. just sayin…]

    My Future: BIG.

    Whatever I do, I want to do it all the way. I think of that phrase, “Go big or go home.” I want the theme of my life to be Colossians 3:17. Whatever you do, in word or deed, do it all for the glory of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

    To me, that reads: Whatever you do, do it big. Because He is worthy of that much and more.

    Lately, my life has taken a few unexpected turns. But it’s all part of the journey. And since I know God’s plans for me are big, it makes it all the easier to say I’ll go Big.

    Fulfilling

    I pray that my future fulfills God’s plan for my life, and is at the same time fulfilling for me. And for others.

    Someone said it above, but…adventure.

    It’s no secret that I love being one to stand out and do something against the tide. I already know what I want a lot of things to look like…but how I’ll get there…? School. My bachelors in Journalism and Global Development with a minor in French and then hopefully my masters in Public Affairs. After that, who knows? That is up to God.
    But as long as it involves some traveling/working in other nations…it’s all good.

    I just go back from a daily walk at the beach.

    “describe, in one word, what you’d like your future to be.”

    Today.

    “describe how you will achieve that.”

    Singing, dancing, time with friends. Spending time helping those who need it. I work part time at a local shelter to remind me of where a simple twist of fate could send me. Above all else to keep seeing the beauty in all life, and all people.

    Giving…

    A future that holds missions work, travel and giving at a level I have not experienced before.
