I made this list at GO! camp. I found it last night, and I felt a deep sense of inspiration and hope run through me. Much of the same feelings I felt while at camp, actually. While there I was on such a high, believing that I could do anything. I felt the need to write down a tangible list of things I felt a passion towards, a calling to try to work towards or with.
So I want to talk about some things I’ve done since writing this list. My intention is not to boast, but to simply make sure (hold myself accountable, I suppose) that camp did not actually stop at camp.
- mission work - I’ve had many opportunities given to me from God. I did prison ministry last weekend, am going a spring break campaign, and will be spending my summer doing mission work.
- making people feel beautiful - This is probably a life goal. Not just outwardly beauty, but showing people that with God their inner beauty makes them outwardly beautiful. I work on this everyday.
- peace -I honestly think I’ve done the most work towards peace in my own life.
- helping the hurting - Again, something I try to work on everyday. In various ways, whether in those around me or through charities and organizations.
- showing God’s love. - Refer to last two. I strive daily.
- Second chances. - People’s mistakes and past do not define their future. Again, I’ve found this mostly in my own lives because of the people I surround myself with. Seeing the change of God is them is immensely beautiful.
