My Bucket List

Bucket lists are simple it is the list of things to do before you die. Comes from the term “kicked the bucket”. The last couple of months, my prayer has been “God, give me a glimpse at your size.” And He has done just that. A small glimpse, but a glimpse big enough for me to dream BIG, because I know anything is possible with God. Jesus says in Matthew 17:20: He replied, “Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”
My Current Bucket List:
Experience a moment like Pentecost, found in Acts 2. Where a man speaks in his native language and others understand in theirs. This list item will probably not take place here in the states, so traveling is in the forecast.
See 3,000 people come to know Jesus and be baptized and play a part in it. Now my prayer is that this one happens here in the states and in Phoenix, Arizona to be specific.
Experience a Mountain being Moved. Now my mountain is a building at Thunderbird and the 101 in Peoria, Arizona. My prayer is that God plantes a church in that facility. Nuts, I know, but God can do the impossible.
Be a memeber of a God-fearing Mariage and Responsible for a God-fearing Family. Not easy, but worth fighting for.
Pastor a Church that is Blessed by God, because it does His Will. Another not easy task, but worth fighting for.
These are God-size dreams, things that can’t happen without Him intervening. But the work isn’t all His. He asks us to do our part. Blood, sweat and tears are in my future to fulfill this bucket list. Learning and understanding is a must as well. And my faith must be strong!
What is your bucket list?
