Victory!

Many, many, many years ago...ok that's being a little dramatic but way back when horses pulled carriages...okay, okay....I'm just seeing if you're awake today! Back in 1991 when Shane and I first started dating he asked me an all important question, "Do you pull for Alabama or Auburn?" Friend, I promise you this was an actual conversation between me and him and I answered correctly because here we are nearly 20 years later! ROLL TIDE! =)

Unless you live under a rock you know that Alabama played Texas last night in the BCS National Championship game. I must say that I was concerned about my precious husband last night. As is typical Alabama fashion they couldn't win easily. It had to be a nail bitter. A comeback of some sort. An edge of your seat, jump up and down finish. That is Alabama football! But, anyway, Shane paced and he screamed and he clapped. He coached from our living room, he chastised the refs. He gave Saban advice and even played a down or two himself. Yet, in the end all was well and Alabama beat Texas and are the 2009 BCS National Champions! It was sweet V-I-C-T-O-R-Y!

Oh victory! It's a wonderful feeling isn't it? Did you know you have that same victory in Jesus? It doesn't matter where you've been or what you've done He finished the game for me and for you! "The Lord is my strength and my song;he has given me victory." Exodus 15:2 (NLT). Are you walking around victorious today? If not, why not? The Savior is waiting...
