Thirty things to do before I turn Thirty.

While reading one of my favorite blog the other day, I saw this post of Thirty things to do before I turn thirty. It got me thinking and I decided to list mine.

Thanks to Amina Tawa for the inspiration, she is a writer and her stories are well put together and interesting. If you are not following the ACCEPTING LOVE series on her blog, you are missing out.

Turning 30 is a major milestone, it means that you are no longer in the hard partying, bad decision making stage of life.

If you are in your 20s, then it’s probably the first time you are truly on your own and it’s finally up to you to start figuring things out for yourself.

I know age is just a number and there is no way to win at life. 20s are a great time to start achieving your goals. At twenty something myself I feel there are so many things I should do before i turn thirty so let me start with making a list of Thirty things.

It looks like mission impossible for me since I only have few years before I turn thirty. But I know nothing is impossible to do when God say Yes to it. Thirty things are just even to small for my God to do.
