My Seven 7s

Samara tagged me ages ago to do the seven 7s, and I keep not getting around to it . . . so here goes!

Seven Things I Hope to Do Before I Die

~Have a consistent walk with God, including daily quiet time and prayer
~Be the very best wife I can be, so that my husband will "rise up and call me blessed" (Proverbs 31)
~Publish at least one book, but hopefully more--in other words, achieve my dream of becoming a real writer!
~Reach my goal weight and be able to stay there! :)
~Be involved in a small church again, hopefully in the music ministry and working with teen girls
