Today, I choose to CELEBRATE! 19 years ago, I was laying in a hospital bed, fighting for my life and trying to cope with the loss of my ability to walk. As I lay there alone, in between visits, I prayed and prayed and prayed. I prayed that I would walk again. God answered that prayer, but he said NO. God chose a BIGGER plan for me, one that doesnt involve walking. He wanted to use me to share my story, but I wouldnt submit. Sharing my story meant that Id have to re-live Dec 1, 1995 all over again...EVERY TIME! It took losing my Nanny on Aug 9, 2013 to finally submit to Gods calling on my life. When Nanny died, God put a message in my head and on my heart. He simply asked me a two part question. What kind of legacy will you leave and what have you done to show people who I am?? WOW!!! In honesty and in shame, I had to answer... NOT MUCH to both of those questions! In Nannys homegoing, I realized she never had much on Earth. She wasnt educated by the worlds standards and she was meek. She didnt have much at all, but she had LOVE! Love for Christ, which transformed into love for others. You see, we have ALL that we need to do Gods work, we just have excuses for not doing it. I did that for a LONG time. Im not a rich man and often times I have to make financial sacrifices, I have to sacrifice time with my family, I sacrifice myself, to be obedient to the Lord. I dont say that to receive a pat on the back. I say that to say this... For everything I dont have... God has supplied. He has sent people to supply money for trips I cant afford to make, because Im representing HIM. He opens up time slots in my schedule for the things that are necessary. He has called me to do this, so he has equipped me to do this! He is waiting for you to surrender to your calling! Maybe you have a story that will help others, maybe you have a relationship that needs to be mended... Maybe you need to seek JESUS! On November 30th of 1995... I thought I had all the time in the world! On Dec 1, 1995, I realized my time was limited and it could be gone in the next breath! How will you use the time you have left? Who will you spend it on? I pray that youll consider these things today and each day! I love you all and am GRATEFUL that God kept me here, to share in this journey with you!!!!!
