meine Familie!...my family!


einen was für Segen es, zu haben ist, zentrierte ein Gott Familie! (what a blessing it is to have a God centered family!)

Over the years God has shown me more and more what a blessing it is to be raised in a Christian God centered home! Many many times I don't realize what it would be like if I didn't have the family I am blessed to be a part of! I take advantage of growing up and learning from the start that Jesus loves me! So many times I haven't payed attention or learned more about Jesus because 'I've heard it a million times'! But no matter how many times I read or hear the Bible I can always get something from it! I could never imagine what it would be like to know in your heart there is a God but not be reassured because I have never read or even heard of the bible! Or being a Christian and knowing the Truth but having parents that tell you to go the worldly way instead. To know when I get up in the morning that I am going to hear from my parents and siblings and friends that Jesus is real and cares, that should get me excited and ready for the day...but sadly many times it doesn't, and I don't see the blessing in what that brings. I realize that I could have been born into a budism family in Iraq across the world. But God knowing what I need and in choosing me as a child, put me here in Joppa Maryland born to William and Sherry McCurley, younger sister of Robert, Nathanael, Matthew, Caleb and Rebekah McCurley, a niece, cousin, aunt, sister-in-law, granddaughter, and friend to many. He knew before I was born and even before the world was formed that I would be placed where I am today! And all that I can say to that is...WOW, He put me just where I needed to be! I know complain sometimes that I have annoying siblings and crazy parents, but I know at the end of the day that God put me where I am for a reason, and I love it, I wouldn't change it for anything!

So today and the days to come...remember that you're here you are for a reason! You are placed in the family that you have for a reason! You live where you live for a reason! That reason is that you may glorify God in what ever you do and where ever you go and who ever you're with!!

Glorifizieren Sie Gott, in dem überhaupt Sie heutiger Tag sind! (Glorify God where ever you are today!)
