In It To Win It

If you could have it all, what would you want?

Why I even bothered to ponder this I have no idea since it is highly unlikely that I'll come into unseen amounts of money or ever be anyone who has the power to lead millions. Nonetheless it was an interesting question because I guess it's a question that leads you to identify those things or people that matter most in your life.

First and foremost I would want the ability to better express the love and grace that God has for all of us to those around me. I rarely talk about my spiritual beliefs because like most of those around me I too do not want to be condemned for what I believe. At times those this is incredibly frustrating because if people only knew how much they were loved they wouldn't be scared or fearful when events like a tough economy are going on around them.

I would also want to have self-confidence. Somewhere along the way I lost mine and am forever trying to find ways to rebuild that which once existed. I think I am capable of doing many great things but thinking I am and ever being able to do those great things because you think you don't matter are completely different thoughts.

I would like to be assured of always having enough funds so that I can live comfortably as well as tithe to my church and give to those organizations that I believe make significant differences. I think that if people didn't have to worry about money that more inventions, cures and good acts would take place.

I would travel the world.

I would like to have five really, really, really good friends. I'm talking kindred spirits who love you completely and totally for who you are. I'm talking about emotionally stable, caring, fun-loving, non-judgmental friends who you grow old with. You're always honest with one another because you know that at the end of the day you're always going to be there for one another, and that those things said are only there to make your life better.

I would have children with Andrew, and grow old together knowing that we're best friends.

What would you want?
