Family have started to arrive to celebrate my cousin's wedding. When everyone is happy there is nothing like being surrounded by your cousins, aunties and uncles. There is so much laughter, coffee flowing till all hours of the morning, 3am feasts...joking and having deep and meaningfuls. Love it!
JOB - I have been praying constantly at work for the LORD to give me his strength so that I don't let him down. He gave me this job and it's a test of my faithfulness, and building self-discipline (something I lack big time!). Plus I want to be a blessing to Janelle. There are a few workers there - now on my prayer list.
I don't know that I can do the whole morning person routine without giving up. Plus I'm worried I will get bored...and i hate routine....it's like a box with walls closing in on me.
That's why I love travelling and visiting different places, why i love scifi programmes because it's a huge adventure and when you're exploring you never know what's around the corner.
Even now as I live in this flat, yes it's comfortable and it's home, but I find myself looking up real estate web pages for a new home to rent...I don't know that I can be tied to one house with a mortgage for the rest of my life.
That's never been one of my dreams...I don't get that whole mortgage mentality. I don't like huge life time debts. People think of it as an investment they can leave for their children...for when they are old. But seriously I would rather leave a different legacy for my children one they can pass on to the next generation.
It's a legacy of who they are and who they belong to....my LORD and King.
If the Lord doesn't return in my generation I want to make sure my children are ready. And if he doesn't come in their generation then they need to prepare their children. Because when the Lord does return he's not going to say - NICE HOUSE, NICE CAR PACK IT UP AND TAKE IT WITH US TO ETERNITY. I imagine him saying: well done good and faithful servant....welcome home to eternity.
The LORD is not going to care whether I left a legacy of material things to sustain my children in this world. He IS going to care that I leave a legacy that will sustain my children FOR ALL ETERNITY.

IMAGINE IF THE LORD WANTED TO SAVE EVERY HUMAN BEING?? ALL 6 BILLION OR HOWEVER MANY.....
IMAGINE IF THAT IS WHAT THE LORD IS WAITING FOR??? FOR EVERY HUMAN BEING TO BE SAVED??
THEN WE WILL BE WAITING FOR MANY GENERATIONS TO COME...SO LETS LEAVE A LEGACY THAT WILL LAST MANY GENERATIONS
...not just footprints in the sand that will only last a moment.
ONLY THE LORD HAS STOOD THE TEST OF TIME.
He has done that through us....from our grandparents, to our parents, to us.

His love lasts forever. That's the legacy I want to pass on to my children not a house.
More than 2,000 years later we still believe in him...that's his legacy to us:
More than 2,000 years later we still believe in him...that's his legacy to us:
he is who we are, he is who we belong to. (LOVE YA LORD)
