I think I first wrote this in 2002 while sitting on cement steps in northwest Chicago, cold and faithless.  It’s helped me a more than a few times since.

To know the heart of God.
To have mine match.

To see other people as the most holy thing in my day to day life.
To give and love so they can tell.

To realize the consequence of my self-love.
To love others boldly without fear of consequence.

To remember where I’ve been saved from.
To look ahead to my future.

To smile.

To learn and reason.
To enjoy and rest.

To visualize life as a moment by moment God-given adventure.
To live more than I visualize.

To wonder.

To build a character of faithfulness and order.
To surprise myself at how I can change.

To want a pure heart.
To reject anything that endangers it.

To lead, motivate, encourage, and challenge everyone around me.
To do it as a servant.

To give glory to God through creative and artistic living.
To never abuse my freedom.

To know the heart of God.
To have mine match.
