What I Want to Be started out as a prayer, and then became a declaration, over my three children. My two oldest children, Kayla and Bradley, are in college, and my youngest son, Luke, is a sophomore in high school. I was literally praying over their future careers one morning when the Holy Spirit revealed to me that it didn't matter what career any of them chose, but that the most important thing was that they chose to walk with God in that career. I immediately knew this prayer/declaration was to be a book for all children, and out of obedience to Him came What I Want to Be. Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people. (Colossians 3:23, NLT)
