ripping off teri ( or being inspired by....whichever)

Lately iv heard the phrase
"what are you planning on doing with your life?"
thrown around alot. and especially being in YWAM. i get this question alot more than most (being a non profit organization, i dont get paid, so surely i cant live like this forever right?......right???)
Well iv been thinking alot about what it means to " do something with your life" and ive come to a short list of things i can answer with. maybe not the answer they want. but a response i am happy with none the less

so what do i want to spend my life doing?


I want to spend my life actively resisting everything that destroys life. I want to love people unconditionally, I want to understand people and their motives, I want to watch people discover themselves in ways they never thought possible. I dont want to see people close to me ( or even those not so close ) waste away from drug addiction, instead i want to work towards seeing someone set free. I want to give "troubled youth" a 2nd chance. Heck, I want to give them a 3rd 4th 5th 6th 59th chance. I want to love the unloved. i want to share my stuff with people who need it more than I do. I want to make people understand they are valued and worth something.
I want to take more photos and use it as a tool to show Gods faithfulness and beauty. I want to take more photos of people and tell the amazing stories of the people i meet. I want to create beautiful things out of something ugly
I want to go for walks to appreciate Gods creation, I want to dream.
But most of all, I want to love God with all of my being. ( good call on the last line teri haha )

It really depends on what your view of life is, as to what you want to do with it...
