So many questions!

Years ago, I told God I would go/ do/ be ANYTHING for Him. I meant it.

I still mean it.  Probably more so now than ever.

The book “Anything” by Jennie Allen was very eye-opening to my willingness (or lack thereof) to be ALL IN committed to the God I have spent my life believing. But what was I doing with my life?  Was there fruit from my belief? Did I really believe, or was this all just part of my routine? What fruit was coming from my faith? (John 15:5, 16)

When my sweet grandfather-in-law passed away, I witnessed a funeral of someone who was ALL IN. Grandpa Art lived a life of complete dedication to God and discipling others. I’d never been to a funeral like it. I’ve not been to a lot, but enough to know he lived in a way that I didn’t.

A switch flipped in me that day. No one would say I was ALL IN for Jesus if I died today; My funeral would not be like his.  Sweet mercy, I have some serious work to do! I have to stop caring what people think and start caring about what God wants first and foremost.

So many questions rolled around in my head (which is ironic because my oldest asks 700,000 questions a day. It makes me nuts.). 🙂

~ What is it going to be like when I die and stand before Him?

~ Will I have given Him all I’ve got?

~ What about the people in my life?

Recently, a book I was reading asked:

“What would it be like to watch your spouse stand before God? Did you do everything in your life to help (not make) that moment be a ‘Well done’ moment?” Ouch.

Have I done “ANYTHING” to show the people in my life how fantastic God is?

Now the question that has followed me for weeks: What have I done this week with eternity in mind?”

Some days I really do wonder if my head might explode. Please tell me I’m not the only one who runs questions like these on the regular!

My Blogging Journey Begins

Thanks for joining me!

Last year instead of resolutions I chose a word for the year. Simplify. It ended up looking much different then I thought, but by the end of the year I had simplified my heart. My mind and thoughts had simplified which turns out is priceless. I can proudly say I’m simple minded! HA!

As 2019 crept closer I didn’t give much thought or prayer to a word for the year. Until I went to a dinner and the host asked if we were going to choose a word for the year what would it be. It was time to think about it! “God if you have a word for me…”  I prayed to quickly.IMG-4619

Reach? Like the toothbrush?

Reach people for Him… Got it. Didn’t expect that one, but I like it!

My first thought when I was to flying to Dallas this fall as I looked out the window and down on the tiny homes, cars and buildings I was overwhelmed. I cannot even wrap my mind around how many people there are in the world. (7.53 billion) How do I tell them about how fantastic God is and how much they need him? My life has been a constant transition and education of how much I need Him. So 2019 is my year of telling as many people as possible about this wonderful God that continues to change my life for the better. He sent his son to die for me… the least I can do is my best to share him with others. Do you know why you believe what you believe? I encourage you to seek it out.

So here goes one of my many paths of trying to REACH people for Jesus.
