Where Did The Time Go?

I’m not really one for sentimental reflections, but my goodness how time flies by. It seems like yesterday I was back from Mississippi writing a quick post on the old laptop in the kitchen and then God created in me a passion for reading His word and writing about it. This is my fourth year of blogging, my third full year and so far it has been a wonderful experience. Whatever it is you do I say do it for God, whether it be writing, painting, playing music, playing baseball – when you let God take the driver’s seat really cool things can happen. The theme of my college essay was how amazing it was that God could take a blog that was originally meant to last for a week as a joke and turn it into my main hobby. Hobby isn’t even the correct word, really I should use passion or focus, because that is what God has made it. I used to think I would have to be a big time preacher, or make a charity, or travel the world as a missionary to make a difference. Yet amazingly God has shown me that I can be myself, with my quirky sense of humor, love of baseball, and passion for Him to make a difference no matter how big or small it is. One thing I’ve realized is this, you don’t have to have your name in a history book to make an impact in God’s eyes, simply loving Him and living in that manner is all that is required.
