We have all heard that with God, all things are possible.
And while he certainly can do ANYTHING and achieve great miracles, sometimes we can rejoice in the small things… Like having faith to accomplish the potentially goofy things on our “Bucket List.”
As promised, today I am sharing with you things that I have yet to accomplish on my Bucket List… Just writing down some these words fills me with such passion and excitement that I can’t describe it! Praising God for the “little things!”
One more thing to know– there isn’t a limit to how many things you can have… I still periodically add things as they come to me!

I hope that after reading/marinating over this, that you might be motivated to start a bucket list too. It keeps me grounded and focused on the great gifts that God gives us an opportunity to experience. He empowers us to do these things…. So why not do it and Kick the bucket… list!!
One thing at a time, Sweet Jesus.
