this is a wonderful list! being specific like this has caused many to think that being so specific is a bad thing...especially if it's about your future. because oh, God forbid, you should never make ANY tentative plans about your future.
i think it shows how well you know yourself. that's excellent.

heck. make plans. make BIG ones.
just be sure to let Jesus mess them up.

Amen to that list!

Check out my lil' "Away I'll Run with Him. Away I'll Run" entry. That's the picture in my head these days for that future 'Someone".

You've inspired me... I just might copy and paste the list i made a year ago!

That man will come along, Christine. Soon enough. You have such an amazing attitude and honesty about life and the way you perceive it. I absolutely love that about you. :)
