Spending my 20s Serving God

        I was challenged by a friend to make a list of things I want to do while I am single and free and I did. It turned out to be mainly serving God, children, and traveling by myself plus some races to run here and there, which is great. Those are the things I am most passionate about right now. Here are the things:

-The Color Vibe Run

-The Joplin, MO Run

-Go to the big 3 countries in Central America

-Start to write and publish a book

-The Glow Run

-Be involved with Opaertion Christmas Child by handing out the Christmas shoeboxes

-Start my own children's home or nannying business

      I got to thinking about this today. Just strange that everything I want to do and/or get done has to do with serving God. People say that the 20s are the times to be free and serve God the way you want to or the way He leads you to. I believe that because once you are married you have other things to focus on and do. In your 20s, you can be focus on God and who you are in Him. Sometimes, especially, today I was wondering what it would be like if I had plans and goals like this for all of my life. How would that feel? Just serving and living for God. Would I be content with that? Would I want to go to other countries after these 4 and would I want to do fostering or a children's home by myself as a single parent? That would be the life, I think. I'll do these plans and then see how I feel afterwards. How neat would it be if I could write a book and then another one and just go around speaking on those books?! Not only talk about the books but talk about children too and what I have been through and done with children, whether in the States or in other countries. How they are the same and difference?
       I'm learning a lot now about myself and the children I work with and probably still will be for awhile yet but that is how I like it. I want to share it with the world too. That is one of the many reasons I do this blog.
