Wait patiently because God’s timing is the best timing.
Almost speechless.
I honestly don’t know how to start this post. So many things are running through my head right now. This morning I attended a funeral for Donna Grubbs. She passed away on Sunday from cancer that she’s been fighting for many years. She has four daughters—-all under the age of seventeen. The funeral was so sad as I thought about how living without a mother would be. I can’t even begin to imagine!! But it was really encouraging because the funeral was all about how their mother desired for her daughters to know the Lord and live only for Him. She wanted them to depend on Christ and nothing else. Even though death is sad and calls for mourning, it is so beautiful to think that heaven has gained another angel. She is sitting beside my Savior right now. She is praising Him with song. She is healed from her cancer and dancing with Jesus. It makes me think about how short this time on earth is. This is my temporary home. I will soon also be dancing with Jesus in the home He has prepared for me. But while I’m on this earth, I need to use it to Christ’s glory. I want my entire life to be about Christ…nothing or no one else. Kristen Grubbs, Donna’s daughter, has been a huge encouragement to me. She is one of the strongest people I know and her walk with the Lord is amazing. I do not know, if I was put in the same situation, if I could have the strength she has. Jesus is her All, and she makes everything about Him. That’s what I want my life to look like. Each time I think about her I tear up. She’s here without her mother, but I know her mom is so proud of her. I am beyond encouraged and can only hope and pray that Christ is as evident in my life as He is in hers. I believe that the Lord puts certain people in your life to look to as a role model…and I can say that Kristen is one of mine. How great it is to know that soon we will be dancing with Jesus <3 I can’t wait for that day.

Um, this is me. Like all the time.
Yesterday one of my friends and I were talking and they told me about this song.. I looked it up, bought it, and haven’t been able to stop listening to it. The words are just too good. I think I’ve heard it before on the radio, but now I’m just glad it can go on my iPod! This song explains my goal: living like I should so that everyone around me will notice Christ in me. It’s made me ask myself if people that I don’t even know see a difference in me. Living for myself is pointless. Worthless. Unsatisfying. Life is only satisfying when we’re living like Christ and for Christ. Do we love the people that are unlovable? Do we worship throughout each day in everything we do? Do we even exemplify Christ in our daily living? Take a few minutes to listen to the song and listen closely to the lyrics. Hold me accountable with my actions!! I need to be held accountable if I want my whole life to reflect Christ. I hope you enjoy the song..I know I do :)
Sometimes I think
What will people say of me
When I’m only just a memory
When I’m home where my soul belongs
Was I love
When no one else would show up
Was I Jesus to the least of those
Was my worship more than just a song
I want to live like that
And give it all I have
So that everything I say and do
Points to You
If love is who I am
Then this is where I’ll stand
Recklessly abandoned
Never holding back
I want to live like that
I want to live like that
Am I proof
That You are who you say You are
That grace can really change a heart
Do I live like Your love is true
People pass
And even if they don’t know my name
Is there evidence that I’ve been changed
When they see me, do they see You
I want to live like that
And give it all I have
So that everything I say and do
Points to You
If love is who I am
Then this is where I’ll stand
Recklessly abandoned
Never holding back
I want to live like that
I want to live like that
I want to show the world the love You gave for me
I’m longing for the world to know the glory of the King
I want to live like that
And give it all I have
So that everything I say and do
Points to You
If love is who I am
Then this is where I’ll stand
Recklessly abandoned
Never holding back
I want to live like that
I want to live like that
