My Birthday 1/13/08

Well 35 years ago tomorrow January 13, 1973 I was born into this world. I must say turning 35 is pretty amazing, amazing in many ways, but the most amazing thing is just reaching that milestone! I can remember growing up thinking I would never reach 30 much less 35, not that I thought I would be dead, but that I truly believed the Lord would return before I reached 35. I do believe that even though the return of our King has not happen, I still believe it could happen any day now. I try to live my life knowing that in a twinkling of an eye our my Savior could return so I try to live my life knowing that at any minute I could be caught up in the sky. So thinking that almost hourly of my life I have to always ask myself WWJD, and I truly believe that is a powerful question to ask. My good friend Steve Wiggins wrote that song and when he told me the story behind it, I find myself thinking WWJD all the time now. One of these days I will share the story with you, but for now I will just say the main thing about writing it was that he said he just got honest about what WWJD meant, "What Would Jesus Do?". It meant exactly what it says, and what is funny we all know what Jesus would do, but do we really live the life? I don't a lot of the times, even though I know I should, and it is funny that I know when I don't do it, I ask myself "why?" Why would I neglect doing what I know my Lord and Savior would want me to do. For me I think my answer is easy, it is being scared, lazy, and I guess just no obedient. My New Years resolution is that I will be more mindful of WWJD, and live my life according to His word, because it is truly the Light unto my path. I hope everyone that reads this thinks about that little WWJD saying that we all had around our wrists or neck or whatever you had the WWJD on during the late 90's and early 2000's, and start to truly live as if Christ could return right now as we are reading this, because He could. Have a great week and I will get back with everyone soon.
God bless,
Daniel
