The Reality of Life...

-


The other day, I was in the car waiting for my Mom and sister to finish their errand. I looked around and saw lots of people. I saw a homeless man in terrible clothes sitting on a bench sucking his vape. I saw a older woman walk into a furniture store with her husband. I saw another man walking down the street completely glued to his phone.
Everybody in this world has a purpose given by God. A wonderful unique purpose.

Ephesians 2:10 (KJV)

"For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them."

And yet so many people disregard God's purpose for their lives and pursue fleshly things. Whether money or sin or fame, everybody is seeking out a purpose. Even as Christians, we waste time on things that don't matter. We waste time having "me-time" and being so busy. But when I think about the reality of life, That's not my purpose. The reality of Life is that we should spend it serving and glorifying God.

The reality of my life is that the most important thing is serving God wholly.

A God, who loves me and died for me and created me.

And yet I look back upon yesterday and the week before and in shame, think about all the things I did that wasted my time or displeased God.

The reality is that God did not put us on this earth to be political guru's. He didn't create us to be a sport fanatic or a social media star. 

He didn't create us to be super knowledgeable on the latest movie stars. He didn't create us to live for fame in the world. Not to be an expert video-gamer.

He created us so we could live for him!

And sadly, we have placed so many things in our utmost attention but when it comes to Godly things, they get the leftovers of our time.

Imagine Jesus tomorrow morning ready to talk to you and to listen to everything you have to say. He wants to hear your troubles and sorrows, your interests and hobbies. He desires to be with you. But yet he can't because your sleeping in, or you rush around for work and skip out on devotions. Or worst of all, you just don't want too. I couldn't imagine how that would make Jesus feel.

And yet we call ourselves Christians but yet Christ is at the bottom of our priorities.

My challenge today is to seriously ponder the reality of life. Its as quick as a vapor. 

So how are you going to use it?

Remember, you have 1 shot at serving Jesus!

1 Corinthians 10:31 (KJV)

"Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God."

This is My family This is my Mom and Dad. I love spending time with them. My Dad is the one that led  me to the Lord. I appreciate all that they are to me. They are fun to be around and show a great example of a good marriage. This is my older brother Josh and his wife Tabitha. He is an awesome older brother and they are actually my youth leaders. They are the best youth group leaders I could ask for.  They are personable but fun and always challenge us to grow in our walk with the Lord. And they live next door too! This is my oldest sister Beth. She is actually an author. She has written some pretty good books too, if you like the romance and mystery type of book. She is sweet and and is always helping others. And she is single too in case anyone is interested. She is 27 and is a very good cook. But you will have to talk to my dad first. This is my older sister Brenna and her husband AJ. Her and AJ run the bus route for our church and do a great job at it. They have 2 sons, A...

It has been a really good week for me. For July 4th, our church had an activity with ice cream and some really good fireworks. I'm so thankful for our nation!!! Me and my mom were able to sell the last of our spring goats on Sunday! The Goat in the pic is Aurora. She is really pretty but I'm glad she is going to a new home. I have also been doing a bunch of work with my rabbit pens and scheduling out breeding which will start the end of August! My sister Callie recently started an Etsy shop selling unique earrings.  The ducks below are glow in the dark. We had our Good News at the Park today. it went really well and 58 from our church volunteered. I was also to help lead 2 teen guys to the lord as well with a friend. It is always a blessing to hear someone pray and accept Jesus into their heart! The cookies above was from a lady that gave them to me and I'm so glad because these Publix sprinkle cookies are my favorites. Lastly I was able to receive a certificate from the Bi...

What I have Learned from the Rabbit Business.

If you don't know already, I love breeding and selling rabbits. It has been super fun and in today's post, I will be talking about some of the things I have learned from the rabbit business! 1. Pick the breed If you plan on breeding, raising, and selling rabbits, you first start off by picking which breed you want. Do loads of research to find the breed that best's fit your area, cage space and colors. I chose Holland lops. They are relatively smaller and are the most docile rabbit breed out there. There is a good market in North Florida and they work for my set-up. 2. Buy Supplies Next go to your local Rural King and buy all the rabbit supplies. You want to find a bag of grain, timothy hay and a pet water bottle. Also think about buying food dishes, brush, and treats. You can find cages on Facebook Marketplace or just buy a wire cage at the store. I have connected wire cages that are hanged from the roof using heavy-duty wire. You also want to figure out whether you are ke...
