Someone asked me if I watched Nik Wallenda walk the tightrope over Niagara Falls.
Me: "I don't waste my time watching TV."
Their response: "Well you missed history being made!"
Me: "Ach. I make history everyday."
(Seriously, where do I come up with this stuff?)
Everyday is a part of my life story, my history.
Everyday I choose whether it will be lived well or...not so well. I choose whether I will follow God's commands and live in His blessing or in disobedience and disgrace.
I want my history to show God and who He is. I want my life to be marked by His presence. I want to finish well.
"Endings are better than beginnings. Sticking to it is better than standing out."
-Ecclsiastes 7:8 The Message
"There has never been the slightest doubt in my mind that the God who started this great work in you would keep at it and bring it to a flourishing finish on the very day Christ Jesus appears."
-Phil 1:6 The Message
"...What matters most to me is to finish what God started: the job the Master Jesus gave me of letting everyone I meet know all about this incredibly extravagant generosity of God."
-Acts 20:24 The Message
