What would you do if....

[Heart of a Seeker]

Ok, we're mostly 'grown up' here, but I know we haven't done a lot of things we dreamed we'd do. Ok, what if there was no-holds-barred, nothing holding us back - what is the number one thing you'd like to do or accomplish before you, well, die...?

Be absolutely financially independent. For the last 20 years, I have lived form paycheck to paycheck, robbing Peter to pay Paul. I hate it. I would like to have enough money, for once, to take a nice trip somewhere, without having to crunch every penny. Not necesarily rich, just comfortable. NWIM?

I'm with Renee, but I'd also like to have my own place, with the house of my dreams and lots of acres to have all kinds of animals, and I would work closely with the ASPCA and take in the mistreated and sick, and give them a loving place to be for their last days on Earth...

own my own home and plant a garden, flower beds
or travel and see some of God's beauty in the world

 

[loribee59]

it's been MY dream for over 20+ years to go tour Australia.

it's hard to save up when I have a house and bills and living on ONE income.

Be a missionary in South Africa helping the AIDS orphans.

Be a missionary in South Africa helping the AIDS orphans.

Really? Wow!

 

[MMXII]

Yeah, I've felt that calling for years. I have a heart for those kids.

Me too, and I would have liked to have been a women's counselor.

 

[Heart of a Seeker]

for me, I'd love to travel. I also agree with Covenantwoman - I love the women's ministry and that's where my heart is. I'd love to be able to expand that and TRULY REACH women with the Word.

My desire is to become like the prophetess Anna. To worship God in spirit and truth is my main calling in life.

Luke 2:
36 There was also a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was very old; she had lived with her husband seven years after her marriage, 37 and then was a widow until she was eighty-four.
She never left the temple but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying.
38 Coming up to them at that very moment, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the child to all who were looking forward to the redemption of Jerusalem.

Ok, this isn't spiritual, but I would love to go to a spa and be totally pampered. I've never had a manicure, pedicure, massage (well, except for when I was in the hospital after having my kids). I think that would be the ultimate pampering.

 

[loribee59]

You never had a pedicure?!

OH MY...! You've MISSED out!

it is da BOMB to be soooo pampered!

take advantage of the pedicure: take a NAP

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand.....

I can give you a freebie:

foot, back, head, and shoulder massage.

my friends been telling me that I need to get a license for massage work.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND.....

there's NO sin in wanting to be pampered...God created us for that reason! LOL

Looks like I'm in good company here. I don't own my own home either. I would like to have that security before I die so that I will have something to pass on to my children. I would also like to see Switzerland before I die. It is beautiful.

 

[Heart of a Seeker]

I know an older lady who just went to Switzerland this past week. Her younger sister lives there. I want to see the pictures when she gets back.

To be pampered sounds good, Deb. Wish we could go together ... and have somebody else pay for it, as it would cost quite some bucks. I've had a pedicure once. my feet felt so good after that treatment.

I have been to Switzerland, and it is beautiful, ... but not as beautiful as around here where I live, I think. Travelling does not excite me so much anymore, as I have travelled a lot and seen many countries. I visited many countries when I was younger. I still like to travel, and I do that at times. But it is not my ultimate wish of something I would like to do. Maybe some tropical islands would be nice to visit, if I only could stand the heat ... and if I could afford it.

Go on patrol with some of the GI's in Iraq.

Wow wt, that's pretty brave.

I agree with Dawn, Wild...!

#1. You did mean 'mostly grown up' right?

#2. What if you have more than one # 1 thing you'd like to a do or accomplish???

Okay ~D~... I'll try it your way ...

Since my boys are 17 and 18...this may still come true....

I would love to work with pregnant teens, 'street working' teens, troubled and in need of love (with no judgement) teen girls.... and I don't want to go to University to do this...I just want to do it because I've been there and cause it touches my heart so.
