WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO?

Filed under: baby barden,bardenisms,love — admin at 7:24 am on Thursday, April 15, 2010

What do you want to do with your life? What do you want to leave as your impression on this earth? On people’s lives?

What are your goals – have they changed with each year you’ve grown older – each year you’ve discovered new joys – new heartaches?

I’ve been inspired to make a list of the things I’ve wanted to accomplish in life : some very much under my control – most of them completely out of my control. Some can be checked off and some are still waiting.

Fall in love with a boy.

Get married to said boy.

Fly.

Own a photography business.

Learn to play the piano.

Learn to play the fiddle.

Ski.

Touch a manatee.

Be published in National Geographic.

Be published in a wedding magazine.

Conceive a child with above mentioned boy.

Give birth to a happy, healthy baby.

Introduce Jesus to someone.

Travel to Africa.

Photograph in the Amazon.

Enjoy cooking.

Photograph a wedding in Europe.

Dance with my husband in the rain in Times Square.

Listen to my child sing her love to Jesus.

Own a store front in Mansfield with a small studio.

Hope. Completely.

Sleep on a beach under the stars.

Sing on a CD.

Enjoy running.

Introduce Jesus to everyone.

Those are just a few I can think of – what are yours?

KITTY

Filed under: animals,bardenisms — admin at 8:50 am on Monday, April 12, 2010

Jared’s parents adopted a kitty – rather – it adopted them!

It was intended to be an outdoor kitty but has found it’s way inside and inside their hearts I think!

DAVE FITZGERALD – HOPE OF HEAVEN

Filed under: bardenisms,friends,word of God — admin at 7:49 am on Sunday, April 11, 2010

Dave Fitzgerald is a childhood friend of Jared’s. We spent a week with Dave and his wife in Florida while we were engaged. They are great, fun people!

Dave was in our wedding and is one of those friends you could call in the middle of night and he would be there at a moment’s notice.

Dave has just released a worship album – HOPE OF HEAVEN!

Make sure to visit www.davefitzgerald.com to get yours today!

Thank you Dave for your willingness to serve God and your friendship!!

I have been listening to this album non-stop and it’s one of those albums that I feel God put on Dave’s heart to speak to Jared and I at this moment in our life!
