Accomplishments?
My good friend, Sherri, graduated from UTSA Business School Master's program (somehting like that) on Saturday. She has worked her butt off for the past 2 years and it was so awesome to be there when she walked the stage to get her diploma. I am so proud of her. I lived with Sherri and her husband, Steve, for a month or so before I move back to San Angelo and I watched her go to work, then come home and study til the wee hours of the morning. She attended weekend classes and seriously...school consumed her life....but it has payed off and she is DONE!
At the graduation ceremony, we listened to multiple accomplished men speak to the graduates and their families. As one of the men was being introduced (someone was reading his bio) I leaned over to Travis and said, "WOW! If someone were introducing me and listing all of my accomplishments, it would be REALLY boring." Travis asked me what my bio would say and I was at a loss. I have no idea.
I've been thinking about it a lot in the past couple of days....what would someone say about me if they had to make me sound legit? I don't have any major accomplishments that would impress anyone. No degrees or awards. My bio would be pretty boring. the more I think about it....the more I really don't care. All I know is that I don't want to live my life trying to impress anyone but Jesus Christ. I don't care if I get to hear an audience cheer at hearing the things I have accomplished....I only want to stand before the One and only God and hear him say, "Well, done, my good and faithful servant." So, whether or not the things I have committed my life to seem insignificant to the world around me, I will continue to devote myself to knowing Him and loving His people.
