Meeting Milestones

Pin It
And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years
                                                   Genesis 1:14


God created the division between day and night for us to use as signs, season, days and years. To often those years fly by us with out truly appreciating the gift of life God has given us. As I approach the end of a season for me and the begging of another I have decided I want to meet this milestone head on! I want to learn to cherish moments and live them intensely. So with purpose and determination I have made a 30 Before 30 List. I want to remember this last year of my 20's as one filled with smiles, laughter and great memories! I would love you to share what would be on your list! What do you do to celebrate milestone's in your life or loved ones? Here is my list! I will try to share pictures of the journey and lesson God teaches along the way! 

Blessings to you all!
