Faith-Based Bucket List

Happy Friday Gems!

I missed out Wednesday's post because I was thinking of what to do on Wednesdays and I came up with something, but I can't share that until next week. Today, however, I wanted to share something I've been pondering over the past two weeks and that's a faith-based bucket list.

We all know what a bucket list is, but for those who don't know a bucket list is a list of things you want to do or achieve before you reach a certain age or before you leave this earth. I've made about 3 different lists in my life and I've gotten some things done and others not so much. However, I decided that I wanted to scratch those lists and create one all about God and how I can glorify Him in my life and deepen my walk with Him before leaving this earthly realm and going to heaven.

Here is my little list on my list so far...

Win souls for Jesus
Attend 2 women's conference (I've attended many as kid and teen, but none as an adult)
Study the entire Bible (currently have studied 4 books and working on 3 now)
Memories Psalms 91 in it's entirety (I only remember vs 1-10)
Minister in dance more often (Getting back into dance this Sunday at church)
Plant a small garden of flowers
Give a child in a need the Christmas of their life
Do monthly random acts of kindness that are faith based
Host a church event
Host a Christian book club
Teach a Bible study
Volunteer at a Children's hospital
Volunteer at a women's shelter
Volunteer at a nursing home
Mend a broken relationship
Visit the Holy Land
Raise my son to love Jesus wholeheartedly
Inspire and mentor other young women
Spend a weekend completely alone with God
Unplug for a day and focus on God
Make and sale DOI apparel

These may seem silly or small, but these things bring glory to God in my life. I want to do things like this more often because He not only is worthy of all the glory and praise, but because it brings me closer to Him. I want to help other get closer to Him too.

Some of these I've already started on such as numbers 3, 5, 17 and 18. Some of these will take some time. Either way, these are things I want to do while I still have time on earth.

Do you have a faith based bucket list?

VOTW | Isaiah 41:10 - Ever Present Help

Good morning Gems (& Gents)! This past weekend has been insane in both a good and scary way. I experienced something frightening, but in that situation I felt a sense of peace and contentment that I'd never would have experienced before if my relationship with God wasn't where it is now. As I was thinking of a verse for this week, I came across this one from the book of Isaiah and I knew this was it: Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. Such a small, yet powerful verse. This is a command and a promise from our Father whether we are in times of despair or in seasons of gladness. Though told this to the people of Israel, this verse is still true to His children today. Let's start off by breaking down some of the words in this verse shall we: Fear : the Hebrew word is yare' meaning to cause to frighten ( affright ); to make or be afraid;

DOI Book Club - Fervent by Priscilla Shirer

Good morning Gems! Today, I'll be sharing with you all one of the exciting things I'll be starting in March and it's a book club! I polled on Facebook and Instagram and had you all vote and the winner was a no-brainer! This is the first Book Club that I’ll be hosting ever and I am so excited. Fervent by Priscilla Shirer won hands down! We’re jumping into the topic of prayer and I’m a big person on reading and learning all that I can about prayer. I don’t know about you all, but my prayer life has its ups and downs. Now for those of you who don’t know, Priscilla Shirer is the actress from the movie War Room ( which I HIGHLY recommend ). She wrote a book for woman based off of the movie. Here’s bit of what to expect from this phenomenal book: “You have an enemy . . . and he’s dead set on destroying all you hold dear and keeping you from experiencing abundant life in Christ. What’s more, his approach to disrupting your life and discrediting your faith isn’t gene

I created a new way that will help me share more info about each Bible so I hope this helps you all!
