What Am I Living For?

Ever since I was a little girl, I knew that I was called into ministry, especially missions. I have been inspired by the great Billy Graham, Joel Osteen, and other inspirational speakers. Being completely surrounded by and inspired by these great leaders, I have always strived to be just like them. They have been helping person after person for years. I don’t necessarily want to be on television like these two pastors but I do want to be known as a strong Christian who always rejoices in suffering, who always generously gives to those in need, who humbly does the unwanted jobs, and an effective leader to those around me. At my funeral, I would like them to say that I was an amazing wife, mother, daughter, and sister because I followed 2 Timothy 4:7. “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” More than anything, I want the mark that I leave behind in this world to be that I kept the faith, I served God with everything that I had, and that I served the people around me just the way that I would have wanted to be served if I was ever in need.
