{ Clayton's Story }

Disclaimer- Watch the the top video before you read what I have written below. I don’t want to spoil it for you. : )





I get a daily email from GodTube with a featured video. I don't always watch them though. About a week and a half ago I got an email with the above video inside, something about it made me stop and watch it. Now I know why did. I then went on to find out that that Clayton had a website and on that website there is a video with message that Clayton gave to his church. (the video below) 
Clayton wasn’t the greatest speaker, but he had the greatest message. I was impacted in a way I can’t explain. There is something real about his message, I think because he knew he was dying. He had a heart for the lost, and not only the lost, but also the saved. We as Christians so often get distracted by the things of this world. I know I do. How often do we forget that life is so incredibly short. Like it says in James 4 verse 14

“Now listen, you who say, Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money. Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.” 

I don’t have much else to say, I think I will let Clayton speak to you today.  I encourage you to watch the Clayton’s message below, I know you all are busy, but please take 30 minutes out of your day to listen to him. I know you will be impacted by what he has to say and incredibly blessed.

{ First Post!!! }

I’m so excited!!! I have been wanting to start a blog for a very long time. I just kept putting it off, but several days ago I was bound and determined to finish it. 
So here goes.....  
I want to dedicate this blog to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I pray that he would use me through this blog to further His Kingdom. I will be writing about my journey trying to walk in His path. I can’t wait to see where the Lord takes me.
In Him,
