Day 60 of Photo Inspirations — Forward…..MARCH!
\nHere we are \u2013 already into the month of March!   Time is literally MARCH-ing forward, and so are we!   This photo is of my grandson’s Army platoon FORWARD marching for their Ft. Benning, GA Ranger graduation ceremonies. Notice they are FORWARD marching NOT backward marching.  Whether soldiers are at their home base moving from one post to another, or are on the battlefield\u2026.they are on assignment and they will not cease until their mission has been accomplished. Paul said in Philippians 3:13,14: \u201c\u2026..but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining FORWARD to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.\u201d<\/p>\n

For over 44 years, my assignment included a partnership with a beautiful man and we accomplished a great deal during those years. Though Heaven called his name and his earth assignments ended, Heaven hasn\u2019t called my name. I\u2019m still here!!!! And, because I\u2019m still here, there\u2019s work for me to do, places for me to go and assignments I must complete. I take my \u201csingle\u201d life on with fervor and with great ambition. I embrace the life God has given me and I purpose to make the most of every day. That\u2019s God\u2019s gift to me, and my gift back to Him is my attitude of \u201cwinning, conquering, celebrating and overcoming\u201d, because He promised that to me. Jesus said, \u201cI am come that you may have life, and have it in abundance\u201d. (John 10:10).<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t think for a moment that I don\u2019t appreciate the beautiful life that I shared with my Sweetheart. I often think about those sweet years. And, I could \u201csit there\u201d in my thoughts for hours on end, and if I stayed \u201cthere\u201d, momentum in accomplishing my assignments would be stalled.  But, I\u2019ve determined to not \u201cstay there\u201d. It gets me nowhere! If I stayed there, I would be like a soldier gone AWOL (absent without leave). My precious Mom passed away at age 94. When she was still here, she would ask, \u201cWhy doesn\u2019t God take me home? I\u2019m ready to go!\u201d And I would always tell her, \u201cHe\u2019s not finished with you here, yet! Keep sharing your love with others, pray, and be here for us! That\u2019s your assignment until you get called home!\u201d   You and I are still here and we, too, must complete our God-given assignments.<\/p>\n

What are the assignments that God has given you? What are you going to accomplish with YOU?   Life is worth LIVING. We\u2019re still here and we\u2019re \u201con assignment\u201d \u2013 let\u2019s get our MARCH-ing orders \u2013 our MISSION is possible!
