Why Am I Here? Living a Life of Faith

Hey Butterball – how’s your day going? Are you calling me fat? Who did? I never said you were fat. Did what?

I never said you were fat! You may not have said it – but you thought it. Who did you think you were texting then? What? I never said you were fat. You.

What did you think? That’s what I thought. What did you think I would think when you thought what you thought? Not sure what is happening here – but I never said you were fat.

Not now. I was – or I am? So I was fatter then – or I’m fatter now? Or then. I mean never.

I never said you were fat. What would you call me then? Beautiful. I love you pound cake. I love you. Are you calling me fat?

All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised ; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance, admitting that they were foreigners and strangers on earth. Hebrews 11:13

Why Am I Here? Regardless of the outcome We will believe Him We will follow Him We will live lives that demonstrate we believe God and His promises.
