What will you say about me??

I know that this sounds like a funny way to start, but my mind has been racing since yesterday. We went to Dr. Tom Malone's funeral yesterday. He was the founder of Midwestern Baptist College and a faithful man of God to the calling on his life. He truly was the Billy Sunday of my day!!

I sat in awe at the amount of folks that attended, about 700 or more. Many more could have attended if it were not for work, where they live and so on. He touched so many peoples lives and won countless to the Lord.

I just ask Mark the other day when I die do you think that everyone will have great things to say and good memories of me? Of course he immediately said, "You are crazy, why are you talking like that?" But the truth is young or old we do not know when the Lord will call us home! Mark and I were in a 7 roll over car accident 3 months after we were married. The police said that no doubt we should have both died. But, as you know we are still here and trying to serve our Lord as best as possible.

Obviously, I want my Lord and Saviour to be pleased with me and my life more than what any of you think. Not to sound to harsh but I hope that you feel the same about your life for the Lord too!

I shared with Mark that I just want people to remember me as Kind, Loving, Giving,Funny and Fun to be with, and a Little crazy at times, but most of all a Sweet spirit in everything that I do for our Lord. And last but not least a faithful servant to our Saviour!! This is my goal with my life. Here is a side not for you all to know about me, I always pray this prayer before I sing, "Lord , let those here today see YOU through me while singing your praises in song!" This is my prayer with the calling on my life. Not for you to look just to me while singing. Although I hope that you enjoy it but that you will feel the presence of God through the song that I am trying to convay.

You may think this blog a little odd talking about how I want you to remember me, but like I said we never know. Just like the phrase says, live today for Jesus like there is NO tomorrow!!

What a faithfull man that Dr. Tom Malone was and I too hope that I can be and you will remember me in this way too!


Today is hard at work in the office, doing CD's and getting things ready for the Florida tour again! We will be leaving in 3 weeks from tomorrow! Oh, my, that sounds scary now that I said it that way. I better get to work!!

I hope that you have a great day and stay warm out there. It has finally has become winter! So you know what that means.............WERE OUT OF HERE!!!! Florida here we COME!!! YEE HAW!

Have a good one and live today for our Lord like there is NO tomorrow!!

In Christ,
Andrea
