Making My Life Matter

Lately I've really been thinking about making my life matter. In Hebrews, there is a long list of people and their actions...By faith, Noah built the ark. By faith, Moses... By faith, Sarah... and so on.

The more I read, the more I started to think: what am I doing in my own life "by faith"? If someone was to write about me 100 years from now, what would they say? By faith, Amber _________?

I was already feeling challenged to live my life like it matters. Then I started reading in James...

How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog - it's here a little while, then it is gone. James 4:14

My life is but a vapor. In the grand scheme of things, my 80 or so years is only a drop in the bucket. How am I going to invest my time? What I am doing to impact the world around me? Am I really making a difference?

I'm feeling more determined than ever to spend my time doing what matters. I don't have time to get caught up in the petty stuff that creeps into my every day. Save your drama for your mama...I don't have time. I'm on a mission.

Bottom line: the people around me are lost and on their way to hell and I have the answer. Will I spend my life living by faith, working to shine light into the darkness around me? I only have one life. I've got to make it count.
