I am a full person!

I have a mental list of things I would like to do someday. Oh ya, everyone has a bucket list: “dive into the Great Barrier Reef, ride the Orient Express, live on the Amalfi Coast with nothing but a motorcycle and a backpack…”

But my bucket list isn’t waiting for the time or the money …it’s waiting for a person. I’ve decided it’s time for a new list - a today list. Rather than making a list of the things I’m going to do someday, I want to make a list of things I can only do now! And not just random things but eternal things. Thanks to Denise Copeland and Grace Digital, I listened to this video while getting ready this morning. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paXgc0kfuH8

Of course God’s timing is always perfect. The night before I had polled my single uncle and my married 😊 father about the things that I have more freedom to do now that would be harder once married.  Last night’s devotional addressed how God responds to prayer: Yes, No, and Wait. Which of course reminded me of the Wait I received regarding marriage.

There is an active waiting though. A whole-person waiting. The waiting of a trusting child in the hands of a good good Father, putting aside their request, knowing Daddy has it all worked out.

Living life to the full. What can I do now that I can’t do later? I haven’t completed my list yet, but I’d love your input. Single sisters, what life-impacting things should we challenge ourselves with now?
