Thoughts of my heart...

LEGACY
My Grandfather Virgil Roberts was an amazing man. He was a leutenant in WWII, a hardworker at Carbon Limestone in Youngstown, Ohio. and was married to my Grandmother Anna Mae for 47 years. Together they provided for and raised 4 children, fought through the steel mills closing and left a legacy for 7 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren.
His greatest legacy...
A Man of God.
A question that I've had in my heart tonite....
What Legacy do I want to leave behind?
What will be said about me when my time comes to stand before God?
Will it be how much money I made? How much I climbed the ladder of success? How well I dressed? How many friends I had??
In my heart I am longing...
May it be said of me: that I lived my life to reach the unreached, and brought Jesus to people everywhere.
Was always full of JOY.
Lived like David- danced, worship and ran with a heart after God always.
Had integrity, character, wisdom, mercy. compassion, passion and a sweetness of spirit.
Loved ALWAYS!
And thats only the beginning, only a small fraction.. I don't want to just talk about it. I want to live it!
What do you want to be said of you?

Waiting In His Rest.

Journey's

Patience. Waiting. Rest. FAITH.
- Theses are some major words that I'm hearing from Holy Spirit lately.
One thing I have always known about myself: I am a very goal oriented person. You put a goal in front of me, and I'm running after it without stopping until I've either conquered or completed it.
This can either be a strength or a weakness for me.
Strength because I fight for what I know I want. Weakness because I have a harder time enjoying the journey getting there.
God has been teaching me alot about this! Especially entering into His rest and letting Him be in control. I'm always trying so hard to make things go my way, yet, I have to remind myself how many times God has come through and His plans have been SO much better then mine.
I must decrease and He must increase.
So here's a small update from me- a disciple of Jesus Christ.. learning to become who I'm supposed to be and become a distrubutor of who HE is!

No more talk... Living it! :)


Small moments- Enjoying the journey.
