Working on my "Bucket List"

 
 Happy St. Patrick's Day! 
Today is a very special day! It was the first date of my sister, Kristen & my brother-in-law Jeremiah seven years ago. What a blessing they both have been in my life. So glad I was the one who had the honor of introducing them. 
 
*And just a side note, I have been dating my hubby for two years & two months today too! I just love Mr. Jeromy Coburn!


So a few weeks ago, me and my hubby and some people from our church went to a conference in FL. Jill Windham, from Family Bible Church, taught about making our "Bucket List", well I am working on one of mine, Knitting! I bought a how to book, knitting needles, and yarn. YouTube is helping alot. So far I have taught myself to cast-on and the knit stitch. We'll see how it goes!
 * I had to actually roll this into a ball before I could start! Jeromy helped :)
 
Check out this video on YouTube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jn3z451G7U8&feature=bf_prev&list=UL9qsVpSiD7DM&index=2
 She explains everything very well and if I understand(by replaying the video's over and over again) than anyone can. :)
So I encourage everyone who reads this to work on your "bucket list"! It can be anything! I know I am working on my and this is just a start.
Remember this:
 psalm 20:5
5 When you win, we plan to raise the roof
    and lead the parade with our banners.
   May all your wishes come true! 

* God loves us so much, He wants to give us the DESIRES of OUR HEART!!! 

proverbs 29:18
Where there is no vision the people perish!

Write your vision, your goals, & dreams! So get at it make that "BUCKET LIST"!!!! We want to be people with a VISION!

I know it is around me all the time I just have to open MY heart to it.
