Life Goals

So, I realized this morning that I haven't really set any REAL life goals for myself. Below is my list so far.

1. Be in a wedding.
2. Go crowd surfing.
3. Go to Hawaii.
4. Have a 6 minute mile time.
5. Drink a whole two liter without stopping and burp as long as Buddy did in Elf.
6. Do a front flip throw in.

Yes, I know, those are some amazing life goals right there. Just kidding. But for reals I will feel like a very successful person if I have done all that by the time I die. Especially #5. ;) When I get to Heaven, though, God isn't gonna be like "Elise! Wow! I can't believe how long that burp was you did! Impressive!" Even though it was an accomplishment to me, it didn't do anything for God except maybe make him laugh a little. I realized that I want to be doing things now and setting goals for myself now that will make an impact for Christ. I want to follow God's will for my life, wherever that may lead me. And in order to do that, I need to KNOW Jesus. Walk hand in hand with the Master of all creativity. I want to be the kind of girl that "Show Jesus" (there's a link below) by Jamie Grace talks about. I desperately want to be that girl, with all my heart. Please Lord Jesus, help me to grow closer to and know you better and better each day so that I can shine your light and be more like you every day. "I no longer live but it is Christ who lives in me, and the life I now live I live by faith in Christ Jesus, who loves me and gave himself up for me." Galatians 2.20
Have a blessed day! :) 


Your smile's always shining out
And they know what it's all about
It's not hard for them to figure out
The way you show Jesus
You know love is what they heard
And you didn't even say a word
Ain't it funny that's the way it works
When you know Jesus

Oh it's like flipping on a light switch when you're walking into this room
It's so undeniable

I gotta tell you that I like the way
Any time anywhere any place
It's written all over your face
The way you love Jesus
And it always speaks to me
A little joy with a touch of peace
It's so inspiring
The way you show Jesus

So gimme that gimme that
And show me that show me that
Oh gimme that gimme that
The way you show Jesus
