Today I was determined that I was going to have much more energy than I had on Thursday and Friday, so I woke up with a "work minded" attitude and I got a lot of things accomplished "before" church. I was looking forward to going to church this morning because I always feel so refreshed once I leave, although today was a bit sad from the start. You see my Grandfather, my Poppy, passed away 5 years ago and was buried on this very day, then. It is a very sad time for me and I struggle with it every single year. I know tha the is in Heaven with God and is not suffering anymore, but I still can't help but have a little selfishness when it comes to missing Him. I loved Poppy very much and remember the fun times that we had when I was small. I remember the curled eyebrow looks he would give Callie and I as we went flying down the hill in the golf cart as he was in the garden. I remember getting the golf cart stuck and only telling Mema in fear Poppy might get on to us. I remember the night Poppy came down the hall to tell me and Callie to quit jumping on the bed and go to sleep only to realize he was in his tighty whities and his hair was standing straight up on his head, toooooo funny! I remember the day he picked me up from elementary school because I had the flu, and took me back to their house and made sure I got all tucked in bed. He was simply the greatest man, a bit of a Hero in my eyes, being his oldest grandchild, I just miss him soooo much!
However, after getting to church I realized that today was a unique and remarkable day that God already had planned as Perry our pastor delivered the most gut wrenching, get you out of your seat, breathtaking sermon. I will be forever changed in my heart and soul due to his sermon. I have some mighty tasks in front of me of asking God to trust me with a task, a hard task, a task that only God can give me. I need to make each day an obstacle course that only God can lead me through. If I am not pushing myself in Christ, how can I continue to grow deeper and deeper into my faith. So from here on out I am going to start pushing my faith, making it known, reflecting it from the inside out and telling others the amazing GOOD NEWS!
GOD IS AMAZING,
but why stand alone on the sideline being ever so quiet?
Get out, spread His word,
SCREAM HIS MESSAGE!
