I Desire To Be

Amy has been making me do some real soul searching this weekend. She tagged anyone that read her list to do it also. After giving it some thought this is what I came up with:

I desire to be glorifying God in all I say and do.

I desire to be in the Word daily. I'm very bad at putting my blog first and not Him.

I desire to be more committed to watching what I eat so I can get my hips replaced sooner than later.

I desire to be the wife my husband wants, needs and deserves. We are each other's best friend.

I desire to be a Godly example to my children. I pray that they see me handle all situations biblically and not on pure emotion.

I desire to be the first one to apologize when I do mess up. I don't want my pride to stand in the way of forgiveness.

I desire to be in control of my laughter~I can get the giggles at very inappropriate times.

I desire to be a witness of God's amazing grace to not only those that I come in contact with, but to those that I have no idea are watching my every move.

I desire to be an encouragement to all who stop by. I know how much I am encouraged by you, especially those facing tough circumstances. I stop by your place to leave a word of encouragment, but I leave being the one who was encouraged by your faith.

I desire to be a drummer someday! I am musically challenged, but it could still happen.

I desire to be debt free. I'm a very simple person and don't need extravagant things. I'm looking forward to buying a little house and just having the essentials.

I desire to be a pray warrior. There are so many people I know personally and so many in Blogville that need our prayers day and night.

I desire to be more consistent at sending get well, thinking of you and thank you cards. I know how much they encourage me so I don't know why I am not better at it.

I desire to be free of negative thoughts. I'm mostly positive, but once in awhile a bad thought will come and I dwell on it. Negativity only makes me feel worse and I can't change things that are out of my control so why worry about it!

I desire to be motivated and stay on top of my work. When I get my work done I can play!

I desire to be more patient. I'm usually pretty good at this, but lately I've noticed I want things now. God's timing is perfect and I need to trust that.

I desire to be thankful always for the good times along with the tough times. It's during both times that I can be learning and growing spiritually and seeking God's will for me and my life.

I desire to be full of life, love and laughter! I want to take eadh day and do my very best with it. I want to love and be loved. I want to spend the rest of my days laughing! I'll have my moments of crying I know, but I love to laugh more than anything.
