Vision Board

One of the questions that Jillian Micheal's brings up in her book Unlimited is "What the hell do you want to do with your life?" (I know I used the h word.. I am just quoting here.) But seriously, what do I want? That's been a hard question for me to answer. She suggest making a vision board to help direct your thoughts and what not. The picture(s) above is my attempt at making a vision board. Some of the things already have or doing and some not yet. What follows is an explanation of what it means? (in no particular order)This is a working list... and is in no way complete.
1. I found out about Christian surfers a few years back when a couple of guys came on a scouting trip to Taiwan. It was such an encouragement to have other Christians around who encouraged us in our faith and had similar interest (aka. surfing). After returning to the States two years ago I went to the Newport chapter for CS. Immediately I felt accepted and encouraged. The bible studies were awesome and felt that I could be myself. I love surfing! (Just spent the weekend surfing 4-5 hours a day.) I want to be involved in Christian surfers ... somehow. Just found out there is a chapter in Northern Taiwan and hope to be working with them in the future.
2. I takes guts to surf. I want to surf like this girl. It challenges everything within me. I have to know myself better to be able to surf. (Half of you are shaking your head, right?) Ex. Every time I paddle out I know I could get hurt. (I almost died once.) I have to know what I am capable of. I need to know my limits. I gotta trust God to give me wisdom to make smart decisions. And at some point to have a take risks to get better. You have to push yourself physically and mentally and even spiritually. In Chinese surfing is 衝浪 (Chōnglàng). 衝 means to fight or do battle 浪 means wave... so to do battle with the waves. EXACTLY... surfing for me is a battle.

4. This is a picture from the movie Every Child is Special . I want to be a teacher like this teacher. You just have to watch the movie to understand.
5.I am a volunteer hugger at a babies home. It has been such a learning experience and God has taught me so much. These babies are all up for adoption. One day I would love to adopt a child from Taiwan.
6. I want to find a husband who loves God whole heartily and it shows in every area of his life.
7. I want to live near the ocean. The ocean just makes me happy. I know that sounds silly but it does!
8. I want to be a light. I want to share my faith with others. I love the quote (from someone) "Preach always, use words when necessary." I want to see God in me just by being who God has made me to be.
9. I was asking the question, " What do I want"n for a couple of weeks and coming up with nothing. Then I was looking through a friend's photos and happened on one of them and their family on a camel ride through the Sahara Dessert. When I saw that picture I immediately thought, "That's what I want!" Not the camel ride, though that would be fun. The Sawyers are this awesome family who live abroad. They are passionate about their faith and sharing their lives with others. They have 2 beautiful children who even at a young age love God. The are always going on wild adventures (aka Camel ride in dessert). That's what I want. To serve God abroad (I actually don't even care where (if it's near the ocean :) ). I want to take adventures! I want a family that is knitted together in God.
10. I really respect Jillian Micheals as an expert on health and wellness. I love her "kick-ass" approach to life. I want to be healthy in all areas of my life which is what her books are all about... contrary to popular belief they are not just about losing weight.
