My passion is to change the world. I want to leave it differently than when I found it. I want people to look at me and see Jesus instead. I don't care to be remembered, but I do care to start a revival. My goal? A life set-apart completely for God, totally and wholly devoted to Him. And Him Alone. My life, and my blog, is about my One Passion in life. Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior.
Yesterday, my Mom and two little brothers, and I had the privelege of helping my lovely sister-in-law with the house they're working on (by the way, pray, they're moving in on Saturday, and it's not done yet!). Anyway, Lana made the comment to Caleb that, "All it is, is flavored sugar." So, while I scrubbed the kitchen floor, I wondered, "Well, that's all life is, right? Flavored sugar?"
Oh sure, some of it's flavored bad, but some of it's flavored good. Sometimes it makes you laugh, and sometimes it makes you cry. Sometimes it's one color, other times, it's another. Sometimes you don't really like it, other times you can't stop yourself from loving it.
But, see, life is more than flavored sugar. It has more substance to it than that. Life is more than living and breathing here on Earth. What is life? Life is being with Jesus. Life doesn't just exist here on Earth-it's in Heaven too. And, really, life there is much more...real than life here.
So, if that really is the case, what happens when we live with sin in our lives? What happens when we aren't saved? Well, nothing can separate us from God's love, if we are His children. I believe that with all of my heart. But, can we really live apart from God? When we aren't in fellowship with Him? Serving Him, loving Him, fufilling our ultimate purpose on Earth?
I don't think so. The only way to truly live? Be with Jesus. Be in communion with Him. Never be separated from Him. Then, maybe, you'll find what it means to truly live.
Hi Anon!
I read your comment, but, honestly, I don't understand what you mean. :) Could be that my brain isn't understanding quite right, as I do have a headache.
If you'd like to explain your comment to me, feel free. :) My email is linked in the sidebar if you would like to talk to me personally.
In Christ,
Grace

Hi Hannah,
I stumbled upon your blog recently and have been reading through some of the posts. I was excited to find that there is another Hannah in the South who is like-minded in my belief in the Lord- determined to follow him and bring him glory with mt life! I am a homeschooler; second eldest of 7.. Thanks for the encouragement. May the Lord fill your day with gladness and shower your life with blessings.

However, I disagree that heaven is somehow more "real" than earth. Earth is very real, and God is very involved in our lives here and now. What we do while in our earthly bodies is very important, and can have an impact for hundreds of generations. I do believe that Heaven is perfect and Earth is fallen, but that doesn't make earth somehow become a shadow or a preparation for the "real" life.
This is real: right here, right now.
Just my thoughts...
You're very right that life is more than flavored sugar!
