My daughter is doing a National Geographic exploration project. She is searching for a very rare breed of frogs call tomato frogs. This “wild frog chase” has kept her quite busy—scouring the Internet and calling zoos all over the country. At some point, we will probably travel to Ohio to visit the zoo that currently has the frogs on exhibit.
We were hoping to get the project done before she started school because we know that starting school would bring certain responsibilities that would limit her ability to search for the frogs.
Most of us get so entangled with the daily challenges of life that we never conduct a sustained search for our heart’s true desires.
When you’ve got your head down, with only the daily chores of life in view, it is impossible to find the things that you are really looking for.
Don’t get me wrong. I am not suggesting that a person should be irresponsible. However, you can't let life’s daily cares keep you from looking up to see that there’s a big, beautiful world of opportunities out there—waiting for you.

What are you looking for?
As I read the article I thought about many things. Some for myself and some for the people of God, and some for my children.
I would like to see all have full joy wanting nothing so what ever I can do to make it possible I'm going to reach for the moon, and if I don't get all, I'll end up on a star!
