In the Blink of an Eye

This song is by Mercy Me. I heard it yesterday and I feel like it goes hand in hand with my last post.

You put me here for a reason
You have a mission for me
You knew my name and You called it
Long before I learned to breathe

Sometimes I feel disappointed
By the way I spend my time
How can I further Your kingdom
When I'm so wrapped up in mine
In a Blink of an eye that is when
I'll be closer to You than I've ever been
Time will fly, but until then
I'll embrace every moment I'm given
There's a reason I'm alive for a blink of an eye

And though I'm living a good life
Can my life be something great?
I have to answer the question
Before it's too late

Cause in a Blink of an eye that is when
I'll be closer to You than I've ever been
Time will fly, but until then
I'll embrace every moment I'm given
There's a reason I'm alive for a blink of an eye

If I give the very best of me
That becomes my legacy
So tell me what am I waiting for?
What am I waiting for?

In a Blink of an eye that is when
I'll be closer to You than I've ever been
Time will fly, but until then
I'll embrace every moment I'm given

In a Blink of an eye that is when
I'll be closer to You than I've ever been
Time will fly, but until then
I'll embrace every moment I'm given
There's a reason I'm alive for a blink of an eye

Joelle,
I love your blog. It is so refreshing to see a young person so dedicated to Jesus Christ. It really and truly makes me feel all warm knowing that there will be young people to carrying on the work after all. Some days I feel like everyone, especially your generation, is living their life in a "if it feels good, do it" kind of way.

The only problem I have with you? It's a big one! I wish you were younger so my son (he's only 14) could meet you when he's older. Oh, well. Do you have a little sister, maybe?
