In The Blink of an Eye--by Mercy Me

You put me here for a reason
You have a mission for me
You knew my name
and You called it
Long before I learned to breathe

Sometimes I feel disappointed
By the way I spend my time
How can I further Your kingdom
When I'm so wrapped up in mine

In a Blink of an eye that is when
I'll be closer to You than I've ever been
Time will fly, but until then
I'll embrace every moment I'm given
There's a reason I'm alive for a blink of an eye

And though I'm living a good life
Can my life be something great?
I have to answer the question
Before it's too late


Heard this song on the way home tonight. And I really listened to the words for the 1st time in a long time and thought I would share them with you. 2 months ago a former doctor of mine passed away. He was a great man and God had used him in a mighty way to impact the lives of many women, myself included. I was shocked and hurt at first to learn of his passing, and in true human fashion, my first thought was why God. Why would you take such a godly man/dr. who was doing such great things for his patients. But unlike many times in the past, I didn't have to wait for my answer, God replied immediately. You see, the Bible says that we were all created for a purpose, and I believe that once we fulfill that purpose God releases us from our time on earth to come home to be with him. I know it sounds simplistic, but I really feel that death is a victory for christians. In the human realm life can sometimes seem pretty awesome. But nothing compares to what our life will be like with God in heaven. I personally cannot wait to get there, b/c I know that will mean that I have fulfilled God's plan for my life.(side note from the flesh: Lord, let that be 50 or 60 years from now ;)! How about you?? Are you walking down the path that leads you toward heaven or is it a path you have created for yourself that leads somewhere else?

May God find you in his will and making the most out of the life he has given to you! B/c your chance just might be over in the blink of an eye.

I decided to start this blog after I ran across another mom's blog and was inspired by her. I want to share my faith and family with anyone willing to listen. Being a mom is the most awesome gift I have ever received. These 2 girls have opened my heart to a love I never knew existed. Thank you God! You are truly amazing and everyday I marvel at your wonderous works through the eyes of my children. May this blog bring glory and honor to your name, and someday, may it provide my girls with a glimpse into the true heart of their mom.
