I have been thinking a lot about what I want to achieve in my lifetime. Some people call this the bucket list, some people call this the life list, one girl called it the mighty life list (she actually built a community around making life lists, helping others create one and work towards checking the items off).
I confess that I am a person with nary a plan for her life. It’s true! I didn’t even plan to get married and now I have a family of my own. Now that I am more mature, I feel the need for direction. I know that God is orchestrating the purpose of my life. And what better time to list down my life goals than on my birthday/birth month, right?
With that said, here is my life list in no particular order and with the ones already crossed out at the top.

I love your list sis. I don’t really have strict plans for our life, but I have simple plans. But I don’t have a list, hehe. I get easily disappointment kasi if I don’t stick with my own plans. May God bless you what you desire π

I love the line, “God is orchestrating the purpose of my life.” And it is through praying and reading of the Bible that this purpose is revealed to us. Blessed birthday, Ceemee and I too would like to experience the four seasons especially the lovely sakura! π
