I have seen this 101 in 1001 floating around the blog and pinterest world and have been thinking about it for a few months. The problem I have with it is....the need for planning interfering with the surprises that God throws at us. So, I will try to put aside my super competitive nature and my need for control (i.e.: control freak side) and say...this list is just a small portion of the excitement that God has planned for the next 1001 days. Sure, there are going to be many unheard of and unimaginable circumstances that we get to experience that I wont even be able to write on paper today. When those things happen, I'll just have to add it to the list ;)
Also, I have been compiling this list since January 2013 so some things have already been accomplished! It took me a little bit to get the rest of the goals figured out. 101 seems like such a small number in the grand scheme of things....life according to me, I would love to document 1001 in 1001--so we'll see how this list changes/grows as the days go on.
Start Date: January 10, 2013
Deadline: October 8, 2015
So....A lot of these I have "bleeped" out because frankly, I don't have to share my dreams with everyone and I shouldn't! When these dreams come into realization and God makes them happen, then I will share the whole story. So until then...here is the abbreviated version ;)

Love these!! I suck at setting goals (and actually achieving them), so even though I totally wanted to do the 101 in 1001, I settled for the 30 before 30. I figured 30 goals is less intimidating than 101! Hah! Good luck! Can't wait to read about your progress! =)
ReplyDeleteyes more setting goals!! that is awesome!! good luck with all of these goals excited to see the journey!
