I can't watch anything of his legacy and not sit down and cry like a baby...He left an amazing impact on all who knew him...That is the kind of life I want to lead...I want to make an impact on all those that I come in contact with...He said tonight with Diane Sawyers, I didn't get married until I was 39 because up until that point I hadn't met anyone that I loved more than myself...WOW!!! With the me generation getting stronger every day, it gives me hope that there are still people out there like him...He had such a zest for life and his gusto for everything he tried should challenge us all to never, ever live a mediocre life...We get one shot, we never know when that shot is over...Some of us get to find out that we have only so much time left, some us will leave in an instant without even saying goodbye...Oh Jesus let me live each day with no regrets, that your love will shine through every fiber of my being to all that I come in contact with...Charlie used to make fun of me to others and say "Vicky is enthused" cause I was about anything I cared about!...I know that intensity has been hard for some people in my life to accept, but I am thankful that there is a fire, a fight, a desire to be all that I can be each day...
So much of my life has been the result of the negative choices of others, that I had absolutely no control over, but thank God that I have learned to be happy with whatever God so allows for me...I just recently realized and it made me smile, that I do get to be married again and I will have a home again...And I thank God for that insight...When all the men in my life have let me down in a big way, Jesus has been my rock and my salvation and never failed me...He is such a great big wonderful God and I praise him...
One of my pet peeves and there are many...lol...People who talk Jesus, talk spiritual talk, yet their life just doesn't jive with scripture...I sometimes want to say, we all need grace, we all are unworthy, but if you would just look at your life next to the mirror of the word and then try again to tell me about the God of the word...I truly understand why sinners have a hard time accepting a God who they see hasn't changed someone who does allot of talk and no walk...The bible plainly states if you love me you will keep my commandments and my commandments are not grievous...So every one that saith Lord, Lord shall not enter in, but those that do the will of the father...So talk is cheap in my book and it is in God's too...So do us all a favor and walk the talk or save it for someone one who wants smooth talking but no action...Your wasting your time with me...I know pull out the "your so judgemental part", well if God is a just God as I believe he is, then all will have to equally be judged by the same measure or God wouldn't be just...So if you expect your prayers and godly speeches to count, there has to be some lifestyle changes behind it or it's a joke and I am afraid a very costly joke on you...I have never seen such a liberal spirit among supposedly God's people...We are only fooling ourselves with our worldly affections, right out of the power of a holy God to completely change the world...Now don't get me wrong I enjoy good times too, but ALL things have to have the proper balance...God help us in these last days to be able to re-evaluate ourselves honestly before God...For there will be no fooling him by our fair speeches of piety when our lives are full of the excesses of this world...The bible still says, "Without holiness, no man shall see the Lord"

Amen and Amen!! God help me. My momma watched that too, she was telling me about it last night.
Preach it Sista!
is that mother/daughter vibes or God vibes? ha.
Oh Sis, you have made such a huge impact, you just don't know it. I love you, I love the way God created you...You truly care enough to tell someone (with Godly love) if they are doing wrong....Sis, that is God. Yes Randy Pausch life is a huge inspiration...we are each given a job to do, when that job is done, then the Lord will call us home, what we have to decide is who are we working for, ourselves or the Lord...you are right, we do not know the time or hour, we MUST be ready, we MUST be real and we MUST be IN TUNE with the Lord.. I love you sis vicky, thinking of you makes me smile....be YOU, don't change, God made you VICKY and that is good enough for me :>)kister sadie (sister katie) love YOU.
