A seventeen-prize giveaway. For you. To celebrate this glorious summer, to celebrate my graduation, to celebrate hitting one thousand followers, and to celebrate living life in general. : )
You've probably heard me talk about my bucket list. Sometimes I create and check off bucket list items as I do them, but I do have a written list in black pen in a pink notebook. This week I'll try to post an edited version. : )Anyways--I'm a big fan of lists in general, and living life to the hilt, and traveling, and elephants... and yeah.
I never, ever thought I'd have even two hundred readers. Basically, you're awesome and I love you. So I have seventeen prizes for you readers, who make my life so happy. I hope you like them as much as I do...

This may not be your favorite, but I have to say I don't have or want a bucket list. We don't have the promise of tomorrow, all we have is today. So my greatest hope is to live each day to the full Glory of God and to honor Him with all I do. So if I had a bucket list I would say
ReplyDelete"To be content, to be faithful to my Lord, and to honor Him each day."

ReplyDeleteIt can be a bit part. It can be one line. It can be by an obscure director. It can be a brief shot of me walking past the big-name actors on the street, for Pete's sake. It can be anything. But number eleven is, "Be in a movie."
