3 Things...

So tonight I was asked “For what three things would you like to be remembered?” It’s a question I have often thought of, but for which I never settled on an answer. Well, to answer the person who asked I had two out of three:

1. That people would not just label me as a “Christian” because of my religious beliefs but because of my lifestyle – that there’d be enough evidence to prove my love for Christ by the people He touched through me.

2. As selfish as I feel saying it, that I make some sort of name for myself in the fashion industry, though it’ll all be His doing and I’ll give Him full credit as I already do…

But #3 just didn’t come to mind in the moment. I’ve learned that some things, often some of the best, wait until the dead of night to come to mind. Or maybe I’m just a night owl. Anyway, I was headed to finish a good book and go to sleep around 2:30 am but just couldn’t do it. Instead I stayed downstairs, finished the book, and fell asleep on the couch while contemplating the book and what my future may hold. When I woke up around 3:45 am I slumped upstairs only to crawl into bed for the night still feeling like something was unfinished. Well, after turning out the lights at 3:59, I laughed that earlier I felt like I wouldn’t be asleep by 4 and laid down. That’s when it hit me…

3. I want to be known for stories. Story is what has always attracted me and what I’ve always longed for. So I want people to know that I loved hearing stories, that I lived a great story, and that I told stories. Especially that first and forever story of how Christ changed and continues to change my life!

I hope that’s what I’m doing here. And I hope you tell your story, because believe you me, it longs to be heard!!

P.S. It’s 4:25 am now, but I think it was worth it. ;)
