My Goal for Year 24

(I came up with these rather quickly, but I think its a good little list)

• To love God with all my mind, soul, body, and strength
• To deeply deeply love others
• To really live every day of this year - no more of this existing stuff
• To feel the full array of emotions (suitable to the occasion) rather than run from them and be numb.
• Open and keep a savings account open and hopefully growing a bit
• Go to Italy!!
• Get a little further on this crazy journey God's taking me on
• Oh and laugh lots and lots!

I <3 Mentors

God was really smart - He made it so there are always older wiser people around to help the stupid young people out. I like God, He is smart.

I also like having breakfast with mentors, Today was breakfast with Pastor Colleen - and her main advice was to enjoy where I'm at, don't worry about the future - be proactive but let God deal with the timing and it will happen in His time. She said that she wasted a lot of this stage in her life by being worried about figuring out the next thing. Don't do that just enjoy it, the next thing will happen an it will be fabulous but what I am doing now won't fit there - so enjoy this for what it is and enjoy that for what it is when I get there.

There was lots more but it would be hard to explain without a very long drawn out backstory so I'll just log it away for me and leave it at this: Go have breakfast/lunch/dinner/coffee with a mentor!!!

Yay for mentors! Yay for the God who has given them to us!
May He prepare us to be mentors to stupid young people when we are older and wiser!
