Bucket List! Day 350

What`s on your bucket list, what`s important to you, what do you feel compelled to do before leaving this earthly life? At my top spot....I desire to live my life in the perfect will of GOD! I desire to be restored to the perfect daughter that I was created to be.

 Number two on my list..... I want to dance with my husband, Rick at the wedding of our granddaughter, Jillian.  Since Jillian is only seven, prayerfully I have some time on this one!  Why is this so important, because of my concerns for Rick`s health, and the long-term effects of diabetices on his body.  As the spouse of a diabetic, I have surrendered Rick`s health to God, knowing that a nagging wife gains no ground.  Yes, I can assist but, the desire to control his health must come from Rick!  My job is prayer.

Back to bucket list number one, huge but the true desire of my soul is to live and function in the will of God.  Psalms 138:8  The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me; your love O LORD, endures forever-do not abandon the works of your hands.  Isaiah 30:1  "Woe to the obstinate children," declares the LORD, "to those who carry out plans that are not mine, forming an alliance, but not by my Spirit, heaping sin upon sin.......Wow Linda, been there done that; made a big mess!

1 John 2"15-17 Do not love the world or anything in the world.  If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.  For everything in the world---the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does---comes not from the Father but from the world.  The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever.

God has taken my desire very seriously, He started slowing but, the in depth healing has been kicked into high-gear.  I`m holding on tight to His promises and word; receiving the necessary restoration!  Writing His blog has been an astounding healing tool, a direct connection of instruction; opening my soul in obedience.  Numbers 14:24  But because my servant Caleb has a different spirit and follows me wholeheartedly, I will bring him into the land he went to, and his descendants will inherit it.

Most recently, I wrote and entered a Grandparents essay contest, sharing the devastation's that I suffered for decades, because of my poor decision to have an abortion,  many years ago.  Even though I had previously shared this on the blog, now it was different.   I shared it on Facebook, with my "Hometown;" opening my lifetime secret to all! 

Romans 8:1-2  Therefore, these is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death.   8:5  Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.

As I once heard in a 12 step program, "you have to get really honest"!  John 8:32  THEN YOU WILL KNOW THE TRUTH, AND THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE.   AMEN....Gotta bucket list?
