Epiphany...
I stated a year or so ago that this blog (formerly jesusandjava.com) was the effort to discover the purpose God had for my life before I was born. It is now so obvious to me what that purpose is, and that it is not only mine, but all believers in Christ...to share the good news about Christ with other people. What's funny, is that I have always known that, but it wasn't until today's conversation with Jeseca's oncologist that it hit me.
All it took was one question. "Dr. Broulliard, do you play golf?" His response was perfect. "Golf is a game invented by the devil!" I thought about asking him to go play a round at Torrey Pines Golf Course while Jeseca went to talk with the nurses in the office about Isagenix, when it dawned on me.
It doesn't matter what we do in this life, really, as long as we tell people about Him.
Does God care that someday I want to play in a PGA TOUR event? Sure He does. I think He's given me that desire since it continues to pound deeper and deeper into my heart. But I think He cares more about how I will use my experiences as a platform to tell people about Him, about Jesus.
It doesn't matter who you are, and you don't have to have a microphone or a pulpit. You just have to open your mouth when someone asks why you are the way you are.
Does this mean I am done here? Not at all. Knowing is just the beginning.
