My friend, Cindy Bultema over at She Sparkles, did a Top Ten post today and it got me thinking about doing a Top Ten Tuesday post. Hmmm, what topic could I focus on for a Top Ten?? I could do my top ten favorite foods or top ten fav songs or top ten fav books. However, none of that really resonated with me.
Then it hit me!! My Bible study is about the topic of Legacy. I will do my Top Ten Tuesday post about the events that shaped my life…all of which are part of my legacy.
So, here goes in no particular order.
ONE
Recognized I could never be good enough to get to heaven on my own.
Asked Jesus into my heart in December 1979.
TWO
Spent tons of time with my paternal grandmother
who loved Jesus like a crazy woman.
THREE
Participated on the debate team in Jr. High.
Here began my love affair with public speaking.
(I know, I’m a freak and a nerd!)
FOUR
Worked at Emory University in the Lipid Division.
Did a ton of public speaking presentations
for various pharmaceutical companies about their medications
to lower cholesterol. This cemented my passion for public speaking.
FIVE
My precious Daddy was diagnosed with
metastatic colon cancer in December 2002.
This was the point at which I had to decide
if what i believed was really real.
Was God who He said he was?
SIX
Married Greg in 1995.
I may not have made many good choices
in my life up to that point,
but this was a really, really good choice on my part.
SEVEN
Began hosting a Tuesday morning ladies Bible study
in 2001 that was birthed out of my incredible hunger for the Word.
We still meet on Tuesdays! These girls are so special to me.
EIGHT
I was sure it would be a disaster
because of my tendancy toward pride.
because of my tendancy toward pride.
He assured me that He would keep my pride in check.
Boy, has He! The past four years have been A-MAZING!
NINE
Wrote and published
in 2009 and 2010.
Actually, God wrote it, I just typed.
I know with all my heart that the words are His
and that He is and will use them for His glory
and for the good of others.
TEN
Through a series of miracles,
God brought Greg and me back to Blairsville in late 1999.
I had no idea at the time why we were coming home.
God did. I have come full-circle.
Thanks for letting me share my top ten. There were more than ten but I will save them for another time. Have a great Tuesday.
