Trying to Matter

I’ve thought about renaming my blog. I chose “When Does the Healing Begin?” when I thought I had a reversible type of Cardiomyopathy. If the cells in my heart are morphing into unproductive cells, when do they actually stop that process and start remodeling into muscle tissue that actually works.  It was that tipping point that so fascinated me.

But, my heart is not going to heal.  So, I thought about changing the name of the blog. I still might, but I’m pondering and will continue to ponder the concept of healing.  What it means and what it doesn’t mean.  

Diane Wells, who has taught Community Bible Study in Houston for years , once said that God cares a lot more about our holiness than he does our health.  Sounds harsh?  Not really.  We are eternal creatures and this time on earth is but a blink of an eye.  I believe that with every fiber of my being.  If I didn’t, then I would not get out of bed in the mornings.

What I have always struggled with is how to fill the time God has given me here on earth until I get to see Him face to face. When June Carter Cash was asked how she was doing, she always answered in the same way, “I’m just trying to matter.”  I think that just about sums up what everyone is trying to do.  Everyone whose basic needs for safety and comfort are being met, that is. 

So, I better get a move on.  I have a legacy to build.
