What Makes You...

What makes you laugh? Me...I laugh at little things. I have a friend who every time she gets in the car sees someone doing something crazy. And, naturally, she calls me to tell me about it. One day she saw a man who was about six foot nine riding a bike that looked as though the training wheels had just recently been removed. Also, I laugh when I see funny hats! Funny hats remind me of the Saturday my Momma, Kristina and I went to the mall and all tried on funny looking hats at Belk. Oh gracious that was funny. We tried on hats with feathers and birds and sticks. We tried on pink ones and blue ones and red ones. I giggle just sitting here thinking about it.

What makes you cry? Me...alot of things make me cry. There is a new song being played on the country radio stations by Darius Rucker called It Won't Be Like This For Long which talks about the phases your children go through and how the time just flies by. The reality that my "babies" are growing up hits me every time that song plays and I cry. The memories of their lives flash in my mind as if an old movie is playing. Also, my eyes always fill up with tears when I see pictures of a soldier hugging his family. My brother-in-law went to Iraq several years ago and the vision of him clinging to my sister and his kids is still as fresh in my mind today as it was the day he left, and came home. Therefore, seeing those pictures brings that memory right back to my mind and I cry. My eyes fill up with tears today just thinking about it.

What makes you anxious? Me...life makes me anxious. I am 100% a control freak. I sure can't control what happens in life and that makes me, well, anxious. I pray alot with this area of my life and even though I know God is in control the fleshly side of me tries time and time again to take matters into my own hands. I mess it up but through that mess up I am reminded that it is HIS will NOT mine!

What makes you a Christian? Admitting that you are a sinner. Beliving that Jesus died on the cross for you. Confessing your sins to God and then turn from it. "...if you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." Romans 10:9.
