Goals for a lifetime

I am not Chinese but I claim this date as mine to celebrate. I was supposed to finish my goals last month but as usual, busy lives hinder us to do the things we want to do. But I want to finish this. I wrote something like this so many years ago but I lost it. I tried to recover that list but I can't find it among my trash...er... stuff. : -)

In a previous blog, I mentioned that three among the five things in my miracle list were granted. And then I read Mark Batterson's blog (www.evotional.com) about setting goals for our lives. I won't repeat what he said but suffice to say, I was inspired to make my own. What's there to lose? This will be my faith list. If God grants half of the things in my list, I would be so happy! But my God is a generous father and thus, I am assured that He can make all of these things happen. As He wills.

I divided them into 3 subcategories : family, experience (includes learning and traveling) and influence goals. Some appear to be very simple while others seem so impossible. They range from learning how to put on make-up to teaching a class, from a cruise for my parents to sending students to school, from having a helicopter ride to having a year-long vacation, from a Batanes tour to entering the pyramids of Egypt, from dancing under the rain to owning my company.

By the way, I am not limiting myself to these things. The list can change each year.

I am too private to tell all of them here but for sure, every time God blesses me with an answer, I will celebrate it by writing it here. For what else can I do but declare His goodness?
