"I have conquered the world, but what did I have, without Love I had nothing, at all..."
Since God is Love, this could easily be changed to without God I have nothing. I have boxes full of medals, ribbons and trophies put away in the closet. I have a scrap book full of certificates and school and military news articles of accomplishments, but all seem meaningless to me. It is nothing compared to what Jesus Christ has done for me.
I am proud to be an American. I am proud to be a native Coloradoan. I am proud to be a Colorado School of Mines Graduate, getting through that school is an accomplishment in itself. I am also proud to have participated in both competitive and intramural athletics while in college, and especially of earning an athletic letter. I am proud to have gone through JROTC in HS and ROTC in College and participating on the Varsity Rifle Team and becoming a Commissioned Officer. I am proud to be a veteran who has served my country in the US Army Corp of Engineers. I am proud to be an Hispanic Woman and I have a proud heritage. But all of this is nothing but resounding brass. I have fallen short of the Glory of God as is stated in Romans 3:23. Because "'It's not by might, nor by power but by My Spirit', says the Lord of Hosts". Zech 4:6 There is nothing I can do or accomplish that can compare to God's mercy and grace by which I am saved. It is not my accomplishments, but His love and grace. I am only a vessel.
