Do you ever just want to do something?
I've been reading a lot lately about committing things to writing. Apparently when you do you are more likely to make the transition from dreaming to actually making plans and then actually doing.
I always think about putting the pen to paper but I get a little overwhelmed because there are so many things that I want to do. Then I get all stressed out because I have all of these dreams floating around in my head but none of them have any direction.
The other day I was at my women's bible study, Heart-to-Heart, and we were talking about asking God for the desires of our hearts and how scary that can be. I wonder why we feel silly/scared/guilty when we ask God for things. It is like we think He will be thrown of his game by one of our wants. As if.
Anyway, during this bible study we were challenged to write down things that we want and things that we want to do. Almost immediately this panicked feeling arose in my chest and I left the room to avoid having to do the exercise. Good job, Jess. Geez. But I can not stop thinking about it.
So, here is the beginning list of things that I want/want to do:
01) Get dreadlocks
02) Run a marathon
03) Be an avid rock climber
04) Be debt free
05) Be able to give anything and everything away with a happy heart
06) Live in a community house
07) Grow/raise my own food
08) Travel to each continent
09) Become a Zumba instructor
10) Move out of Texas
11) Speak Spanish fluidly
12) Open a hostel at the base of a mountain
13) Have an amazing kitchen with amazing cooking supplies
14) Bake everyday
Sheesh, that feels better already...
What are some things that YOU want to do?
