Passing us by

I just realized the other day I am 36 years old, Holy WHAT!!  Where did they time go I remember turning 20 and thinking of all the life I had ahead of me and 16 years flew by.  There have been ups and downs in those 16 years, but how fast the time does fly.  Friends I went to school with have kids who are graduating high school now.  I mean we really need to stop and smell the roses as they say because before you know it we will be 60, God willing.  In my morning readings I am learning on how to be passionate about Jesus and not about ministry.  I think so many of us get caught up in what we are working for, instead of who we are working for.  It is not just for me and my job and the stuff I do for Jesus, that is not what defines me nor does it define you.  You have to put your family first and then let it trickle down from there, to your friends, co-workers, acquaintances and new friends.  Let Christ do the shining and you do less moving.  We have to learn to stand still sometimes, because if not 16 years will pass by again.  I want to be strong and follow Christ and I want to sacrifice all for him, but I know he would want for me to have a healthy home.  When my time comes to have a family, I want to be emotionally mature in Christ to know, he is our foundation and the quality I put into him in my own home will say a lot of the quality of time I will put into all my relationships. So my friends, slow down and smell the Palm Trees, since I am in Miami, but take your time and enjoy every moment God gives you.  Live everyday moment by moment.

One Love, One King, All Christ!
