"He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end."

Time Flies!

Well, here I am, about to meet college face-to-face! God and me, well, we're ready! But I still can't seem to fully comprehend the fact that I'm going to college in 4 days!! It isn't that it hasn't hit me yet, it's just that I can't believe that I am actually old enough to go to college, that I've lived this long! My how time flies!

Looking back through the years I see everything that I've done - the good and the bad. Things I've had to ask God to forgive me for, and things that made me proud to be serving God. There are things that I regret and things that I wouldn't change - but actually, I wouldn't change a thing because every step along the way has made me into the person I am today!

But...I do have to ask...have I really made a difference? Has my 18 years on this earth impacted other's lives? I would hope so. It took me 17 years to finally lead my first person to Christ...a lot longer than I had wanted. You see, our time here on earth is only a breath compared to the expanse of eternity. One day we're here and the next we're gone. We've only got a short time on this earth and so we've only got a short time to make a difference. Don't let your life just slip away; you can still make a difference!

My way of making a difference is by being a servant of God. I want to serve God and serve people, I want to help make others' lives better. I want to do everything that I possibly can because you never know when your time has come. When I die, I want to go before the Throne of Almighty God and hear Him say "Well done, good and faithful servant!"...

Time flies, but you can still make a difference.
