I grew up in a very cool little town called Williamston.  I love my town and all of the people that helped to make it special for me growing up!  I remember when I was getting ready to go off to school, one of the older and wiser men in our community said to me:  “Don’t ever forget where you come from!”  He was reminding me to always remember and be influenced by what I was, not what I was becoming!  He knew then, what I am just now beginning to learn, and that is this:  My value is not something out there waiting to be earned!  I am valuable right here and right now, not because of who or what I am going to be, but because of what I already am:  A unique. one of a kind, special creation of God!

Don’t Forget Where You Come From!  We were and are sinners – people lost without any real or meaningful direction, but with Jesus we are sinners saved by Grace – people that now have a special gift that they never dreamed or imagined possible!  The devil wants us, but He can’t have us, because we belong to God and His Kingdom.  I am not of this world, I am only passing through.  I am headed back to where I came from!  I came from God and I am headed back to God and every day I get a little closer, a little more fulfilled and a little more excited about all that I am right now, right here today!
