What does He want me to do?

Here is a question for you today. This may be easy for some to answer and harder for others. What does Heavenly Father want you to do with the life he has given you? It's not just a simple... stay faithful to the gospel, or raise your kids to be faithful members of the church. There is so much more to it than that for me. We were all given talents, gifts, and strengths to be used somehow. So what do you feel Heavenly Father wants you to do with your life?

Lately I have felt like I wasn't living up to my full potential....whatever it is. I've just felt like I could do so much more creating, cooking, serving, and loving. It just isn't happening.  So the list below (I LOVE lists) consists of all of the things I want to do before I leave this earth. What is your list?

1. I want to Know that my children have an amazing self esteem, love of the gospel, attend the temple, serve missions, have happy marriages, and are kind parents.

2.Travel somewhere outside of the U.S. Just one place would be fine. Doesn't matter where.

3.Write my life history as it's happening. I want my posterity to see me as I really am. Emotions and everything.

4.Spend amazing time with my husband. I want us to be best friends. I guess that means being a little more patient with him.

5.Have a well known catering company. I always grew up with talented women who knew there craft. I would like to be one of them.

6.Find something to be happy about every day. Even if it's small and insignificant, like having toilet paper in the bathroom!

7.Help someone once a week. Phone calls to people do count!!!!

8.Have one space in my house decorated just the way I want it.

9.Read as many books as I can get my hands on.

10. Finish my family scrapbooks....once and for all.

11.Learn to love my curly hair, freckles on my arms, and my junk in the trunk.

12.Visit the temple at least once a month and increase that as I get older.

13.Throw lots and lots of party's!

14.Make one good life long friend.

15.Tell my boys every day that I love them and that they have made my life amazing.

16.Own our house free and clear.

17. Be as self sufficient as possible.

18.Have my year supply of food storage done.

19.Celebrate one anniversary in Hawaii for a week by ourselves.

20.Express gratitude quietly to my Heavenly Father everytime I am blessed.
