During my quiet time this morning for some reason the thoughts that kept popping into my head were all about things that I would love to have a chance to do at some point in my lifetime. So, I decided to make a list in hopes of getting them out of my head to make space for other more pressing matters.
1. Run a marathon. Why I want to do this is hard to say. I hate to run, have never been good at it. But, for many years now I have had a desire to really challenge myself to get out of my comfort zone and take on a task that requires discipline, perseverance and courage. Ideally I would like to do this one with someone else who is also not a runner.
2. Go on a missions trip. Preferably overseas to a third world country. This one has been on my heart for a very long time. It may be very pretentious and American of me, but I truly want to see with my own eyes the need that exists in the world. I want my heart to be changed and my perspective shaken.
3. Write a book. Even a children's book, whatever. I just want to write something.
4. Visit Jerusalem.
I can't think of a 5th thing otherwise I would call this my top 5.
How about you? What's in your top 5?
Ive wanted to run a marathon too, or a half one, maybe sometime in the next couple of years we could practice and run together. Your list here is great and I believe you can do anything as long as you set your mind to it:)
