My To Do List

So I am 3 months from 27. For some strange reason I keep questioning what does that mean. Have I reached my goal, am I living for me?


I was asked by an acquaintance have you accomplished all that you wanted by this time. I didn't really have an answer.

All I could think is that is a good question.

If you asked me what was on my To Do list for 27. You might be a little surprised. All I wanted by this age was a husband and baby, maybe two rugrats. All I wanted was a family. I never really thought about my career path. I mean don’t get me wrong. I knew I wanted to be in a position/job/career where I impacted change in others lives but I never had the 5 year career path.

Have I accomplished what is on my To Do List? No! At times it seems these things I want are vague dreams that seem like they may not become reality.

I am very single and my only baby is a 3 year old cat named Fancy who loves to sleep under mommy.
Soo reality has settled and the To Do List seems unfinished and untouched. But 3 months from 27 I have to ask myself what have I accomplished. Well here goes:

• I graduated from college(in 4yrs)
• I have my masters
• I have traveled the world
• I currently am employed at two jobs where I impact change in others lives (doing things that I have to admit I love and find challenging/different)
• Volunteer at church and in my community
• I have my own space(apt)
• Developing my relationship with Christ
• Great relationship with family

When I look at this list I have to admit that I have accomplished some cool stuff. In the process I have met some great people.  So when I think I think about marriage and kids, I see the limitation that I place on my possibilities. My heart still desires the husband and kids. But I know every morning that God has a mission for me and I must be open to honoring his desires for my life first.
