I’ve been enjoying the book “168 Hours: You Have More Time Than You Think” by Laura Vanderkam. One of Laura’s suggestions in Chapter 2, is to create a list of 100 dreams. I enjoyed the exercise, and thought you might enjoy a sneak-peek at some of the items on my list:
- Write and Publish a Book
- Illustrate a Children’s Book
- Sing a Solo
- Raise 6-12 Children
- Adopt a Child (or more than one child) …Maybe from China?
- Homeschool our Children
- Return with Brad to China and England…and to Australia, New Zealand, France, Portugal, Spain, Amsterdam, Scotland, Canada, New Mexico, Mexico…
- Live to be 100 Years Old (Brad will have to live to be 105 Years Old)
- Move Back to the East Coast (not right now, but eventually)
- Get Paid as a Writer and Artist
- Study Art in Italy
- Do whatever it takes so that Brad can keep doing Youth Ministry
- Do whatever it takes so that I can keep being a Stay-At-Home-Mom
- Be Debt-Free
- Buy a House in the Country/Woods (with cash)
- Give Away a lot of Money (far more than our tithe)
- Paint Murals
- Read Everything
What would you include on your “List of 100 Dreams”?

Hmm, a 100 dreams that seems like a lot. Here’s a few.
~I would love to raise bilingual children.
~To return to Mexico.
~To pay off my student loans, without taking any more out so that I can finish my degree.
~To have some time to read.
~To run a marathon.
Those sound great! I’d love to get back into running again someday. 🙂
I definitely miss it right now. I quit running early in my pregnancy due to just not having the energy and now at 37 weeks pregnant I long for the days when walking up the stairs doesn’t make me winded.
[…] When I first learned about debt-freedom from Dave Ramsey and Crystal Paine, I immediately became passionate about becoming debt-free. Why? Because we serve a big God, who has given Brad and I big dreams. […]
