"You can observe a lot by seeing."
The Bucket List- What would a Christian's bucket list look like?
Corporate billionaire Edward Cole and working class mechanic Carter Chambers have nothing in common except for their terminal illnesses. While sharing a hospital room together, they decide to leave it and do all the things they have ever wanted to do before they die according to their bucket list. Put yourself in their shoes but only with your belief system, what would be the types of things that would be important and fulfilling to you?

I suppose it would be the same things I am doing now.
I am dying.
Every day to me is a blessing of God's Sovereign providence.
To tell you truthfully Mike, the more closer I am drawing to the Lord, the more of a wretch I am finding out that I am. More than not, it hurts, (letting go of the comfortable, stepping out in faith, giving up what was once pleasurable, but now seems so empty and unimportant).
I am a christian and realize how often I hurt, I grieve, I ache for fellowship of other christians often. The Lords presence is the only peace that sustains me as I move forward. I bask in His promises, his word, his truth.
This flesh that fights, that demands its own way, that craves things unhealthy, hurtful and damaging to my well being, is dying a little more every day. I press on and live for Christ and the plan I have is simply His plan, not a list per se' as in a bucket list, but my hearts desire to follow the Lord Jesus Christ on the ultimate path, the narrow one that is not the one most travelled and it is lonely more times than not.
Continually practice Self-denial and unconditional love for others
no matter what the costs, follow Christ
obey the ten commandments, not to be saved or to keep my salvation, but because His laws are written in my heart and he saved me
Until I take that last breath, the Holy Spirit continues to lead, comfort, and teach; leading me to what I should do or say next

Wow Donna, you are a true servant with tremendous insight and faith. If we were all as humble and genuine as you Christians would have better credibility in our world today. Jesus told his disciples that we would do greater things and I believe you are. God bless you sister.

Wait, hold it . . . thank you but far from it Mike. I am not even close to being humble. I want to be and am so desiring to be more compassionate and to serve, but I know me, and I am not even there MIke, I assure you.
The only thing I am genuinely 100% sure of is that I love Christ with all my heart, soul and mind.
but thank you and Gods blessing to you as well brother

I am at a place right now where there seems to be two choices, a husband after my own heartor running my own business. I want to run my own business but God is faithful, and he knows what's best for me. I hope that that didn't sound like a religious answer. I have spent so much time going after what I wanted only to find out how wrong I was.

Been there done that sister--i believe we all have, gone after what we wanted, thinking we knew best. Fall flat on our face and reap those consequences, hear those regrets as they play over and over in our minds. But, atlas, this was yesterday and today is a new day, AMEN?
I have learned that when faced with a cross roads type decision and no clear answer in sight, best to wait upon the lord, if you can and keep your eyes and heart out for clear confirmation.
My prayers are with you sister
