Also, I just wanted to share a thought I had the other night. I realized once again that we are alone when we die. We are not taking anything with us. We are not showing our creator all the accomplishments, money or businesses we've made at the end of this life. Really all that stuff is just peripheral to the heart of the matter … WHO WE ARE. When the day ends, who we have become is what is going to stand the test. Really, it's how we've handled the punches thrown at us that will give us life here after. I might not be saying this eloquently but I often feel like I'm in water too deep to handle but then I remember that my heart and my willingness to trust Jesus when I'm at the end of my rope is what matters the most.
