Be a Firework

Image
 As I was sitting beside John and Titus watching the fireworks 💥 (my favorite thing to do) I had this thought.  Our life is a vapor (my Nana said that and she’s 88 and the Bible says that).  It’s here for just a moment, like a firework. 💥 Make your life count while you’re here on this earth for just a short while. 💥 Be a light for Jesus (in the end He’s all that matters). 😇 When you die and stand at the judgment you won’t be asked how many Instagram followers you had.  You won’t be asked if you were famous on this earth.  You won’t be asked how well your investments did or how much money you made.  You won’t even be asked which church you attended and what you wore.  All that matters is if you KNOW Jesus personally as your Lord and Savior and Friend and Redeemer.  We can’t even trust in good works or religion.  As our friend Joe Huff says, ”Is the blood enough?” What will your life of a spark set ablaze? 💥🔥 Isn’t it truly about knowing and loving God, loving others and glorifying

Not how I planned it...

  Everything about my life right now is not how I planned it. That doesn’t mean I don’t like it. It’s just funny how when you surrender your life to God, He takes you to places you never thought you would go.   I never thought I would leave Oconee County in Georgia. I loved living there. But we have lived in Kentucky and West Virginia and Cleveland, Georgia throughout the years.  I said I would never marry a guy from Oconee but I did. I thought I would go to the University of Georgia and try out for the cheerleading squad there. Instead I felt led to go to a Bible College in North Georgia where I met my husband (who was from Oconee County). I went to school from Kindergarten through 12th grade with his little brother who was my age, but I had never met John until Bible College. Only God knew.  I didn’t see myself as a kid person and didn’t want to have kids right away…but God changed our minds. At 22 years old I was pregnant with our firstborn and then we had lots more.
