To-Do Lists

"Set your mind on things above, not on earthly things."
-Colossians 3:2

I was just thinking about how excited I am to go to heaven. I don't necessarily want to die, but wouldn't it be great never to be sick again or to walk the streets of gold and see Jesus?! I start to think about being in a huge assembly where gads and gads of spirits are praising God's name in their own language. It intrigues my mind.
The Bible says that we are supposed to keep our mind set on the race before us.

"Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." -Hebrews 12:1-2

This verse pictures the life of a Christian as running a race with their eyes fixed on Jesus.
I really like lists and checking things off of lists. Each day, I make a to do list in my school planner. What's hard for me is not making God a part of my to-do list, but making Him the goal of all my to-do lists; basing my life on the goal of Jesus Christ.
